Round and round they go
This phase of the cell cycle is when the cell's DNA is replicated.
What is the S phase?
The relationship where one organism benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed.
What is commensalism?
The organelle where photosynthesis takes place in plant cells.
What is the chloroplast?
The process of producing genetically identical offspring from a single parent.
What is asexual reproduction?
The ability of an organism to survive in its environment due to inherited traits.
What is adaptation?
The phase of mitosis where sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite sides of the cell.
What is anaphase?
This type of interaction occurs when both species benefit from the relationship.
What is mutualism?
The gas taken in by plants during photosynthesis.
What is carbon dioxide?
The process by which haploid cells combine to form a diploid zygote.
What is fertilization?
This type of adaptation involves changes to an organism's physical structure.
What is a structural adaptation?
A process that results in the formation of two genetically identical daughter cells.
What is mitosis?
A relationship where one organism benefits and the other is harmed.
What is parasitism?
This pigment is responsible for capturing light energy in plants.
What is chlorophyll?
This type of reproduction increases genetic diversity in a population.
What is sexual reproduction?
Behavioral adaptations, such as migration or hibernation, help organisms survive this.
What are environmental changes?
The term for the programmed cell death that removes damaged or unnecessary cells.
What is apoptosis?
Cattle churning up soil exposing insects that are then eaten by other organisms is an example of this relationship.
What is amensalism?
The two stages of photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and this cycle.
What is the Calvin cycle?
A chart used to track inheritance patterns through multiple generations of a family.
What is a pedigree?
These adaptations allow organisms to regulate internal body conditions.
What are physiological adaptations?
This type of cell division occurs in prokaryotes and results in two identical daughter cells.
What is binary fission?
A species whose presence or absence has a disproportionate effect on the structure of an ecosystem.
What is a keystone species?
The part of the chloroplast where the Calvin cycle takes place.
What is the stroma?
The name for having three copies of a chromosome
What is trisomy?
The process through which populations adapt to changing environments over time.
What is natural selection?
