The study of how organisms interact with their environment.
What is ecology?

This scientist is credited for the Theory of Evolution through Natural Selection.
Who is Charles Darwin?

This organelle is the control center of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
100
Characteristics or traits that can be seen in an organism.
What is a phenotype?
100
This contains DNA, but is not considered alive.
What is a virus?
200
Organisms of the same species living in a single ecosystem.
What is a population?
200
These structures are made of the same tissues regardless of the organism. An example would be wings in birds and arms in Humans.
What are homologous structures?
200
This organelle packages and transports materials throughout the cell.
What is the Golgi Apparatus?
200
A sequence of three bases in RNA. (ex. ACT or CAT)
What is a codon?

This group of organisms is known for having a cell wall made of chitin.
What is a fungus?
300
Several groups of organisms, some of different species, living in an ecosystem.
What is a community?
300
Survival of the Fittest.
What is Natural Selection?

DAILY DOUBLE!! This question is worth double points.
This type of transport requires the use of ATP (energy) and removes left over particles from the cell.
What is exocytosis?
300
The "backbone" of DNA is made of these two things.
What is sugar and phosphate?
400
This is the process in which organisms colonize a new area of barren (bare) rock.
What is primary succession?
400
Random changes in genes that will eventually lead to differences in species.
What is genetic drift?

What is Down's Syndrome (Trisomy - 21)?
500
Organisms that are able to create their own food.
What are producers (or autotrophs).
500
Evolution seen between organisms in a single species. An example would be between breeds of dogs.
What is microevolution?
500
A solution that causes a cell to swell and eventually burst.
What is hypotonic?

DAILY DOUBLE: This question is worth double points.
