Name the three domains of life.
What are Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya?
The process for evolution
What is natural selection?
This is gradual change over time from a common ancestor
What is evolution?
Scientists begin by making _________.
What are observations?
These are the steps of the scientific process before you begin experiments
What are observation, question, hypothesis, and experimental design?
This domain contains multiple kingdoms
What is Eukarya?
This occurs when more of a species are born than can survive
What is competition?
Darwin used this phrase to describe both the unity and diversity of life
What is "descent with modification"?
Sometimes, observations lead us to develop this
What is a testable hypothesis?
These are the steps in the scientific process after you complete experimentation
What are result, conclusion, and publication?
This domain contains the most diverse and widespread prokaryotes
What is Bacteria?
There must be _______ between the individuals of species so that the fittest genes can be inherited.
What is variation?
This is the process of tiny beneficial changes accumulating
What is modification?
The two forms of data
What are qualitative and quantitative?

What is a controlled experiment?

These are the four kingdoms of Eukarya
What are Animalia, Fungi, Plantae, Protists?
Give an example of an evolutionary adaptation that helps some species survive.
What is camouflage?
This prevents differences among a species from peacefully coexisting
What is selection pressure?
Reasoning that involves collecting specific data to reach a more general conclusion
What is inductive reasoning?
The difference between a hypothesis and a theory.
What is a proposed explanation testable through experimentation versus a broad explanation supported by a large body of evidence?
