Scientists
This scientist(s) took the first image of DNA.
Who are Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins?
An explanation of WHY things occur in nature. Has evidence that supports the claim, but can be disproven with new information.
What is a scientific law?
This instrument uses multiple magnifying lenses to allow the user to view objects that can not be seen with the naked eye.
What is a microscope?
A general term for someone who uses the scientific method to discover new information about the natural world.
What is a scientist?
The axis of the graph that contains the independent variable.
What is the X axis?
This scientist(s) used the word "animalcules" to describe the microorganisms he saw with his microscope.
Who is Anton van Leeuwenhoek?
An explanation of HOW something occurs. This is often math based, and are supported by evidence. They can be disproven with new evidence however!
What is a scientific law?
This tool is helpful in genetics problems. It allows us to cross the alleles of the father and mother to determine possible genotypes/phenotypes of their offspring.
What is a Punnett Square?
Term for someone who studies life on Earth.
What is a biologist?
The axis of the graph which displays your dependent variable.
What is the Y axis?
This scientist(s) theory of evolution stated organisms would pass on physical traits they had acquired during their life.
Who is Jean-Baptiste Lamarck?
This theory states that populations of organisms change over time through natural selection.
What is the Theory of Evolution?
This chart can show how closely related organisms are and when certain traits evolved.
What is a cladogram?
This type of scientist studies the chemical reactions that happen in organisms.
What is a biochemist?
This will happen when an enzyme is added to a chemical reaction.
What is the reaction will speed up? or The activation energy will decrease?
This scientist(s) developed the cell theory. One claimed all animals were made of cells; the other claimed all plants were made of cells.
Who are Theodore Schwaan and Matthias Schleiden?
This law states that energy can not be created or destroyed; it can only be recycled.
What is the first law of thermodynamics?
This chart displays all homologous pairs of chromosomes for a specific organism. These charts can be used to determine possible genetic disorders.
What is a karyotype?
Term for someone who studies things found in nature (both living and non-living).
What is a naturalist?
This is symbolized by the "peak" on a graph that compares enzyme activity to temperature.
What is the optimal temperature?
This scientist(s) discovered that Adenine and Thymine/ Cytosine and Guanine were found in equal amounts in DNA samples.
Who is Oswald Avery?
The scientific law that states genes independently code for traits. No gene relies on another gene to code for its trait.
What is the Law of Independent Assortment?
This type of dating allows for us to find the exact age of a fossilized organism by calculating how many carbon half-lifes have passed.
What is absolute dating?
This professional scientist helps parents determine what genetic disorders their child may develop and offers resources to help children born with genetic disorders.
What is a genetic counselor?
When the enzyme graph's slope approaches the X axis the enzyme has ______________.
What is denatured?
