A cell placed into a salt solution would be expected to
What is shrivel?

When bacteria are exposed to antibiotics not all die. Those that survive produce resistant bacteria. The environment the bacteria were exposed to changed the organisms. This major tenant of evolutionary change is referred to as
What is NATURAL SELECTION
200
These three events during meiosis increase genetic diversity of organisms within a species
What are independent assortment of alleles, random segregation of chromosomes into gametes and crossing- over
200

make up most of the cell membrane, provide stored energy
What are LIPIDS
300
Gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide cross the cell membrane and move passively through the cytoplasm in the process called
What is DIFFUSION?
300
The theory that suggests organelles like mitochondria were at one time independent prokaryotic organisms that were taken into larger prokaryotes and over time became dependent on each other
What is ENDOSYMBIOTIC THEORY

These occur spontaneously and can be beneficial, harmful, but in most cases have no effect at all
What are MUTATIONS?
300
If mice were removed from a food web what would be the effect on populations that the mice feed upon?
What increase in numbers?
