Variables
Natural Selection
Protective Coloration
Symbiotic Relationships
Dominant and Recessive
100
This is the variable that the experimenter changes.
The independent variable?
100
This measures an organism's ability to reproduce.
What is Fitness?
100
This is just like basic camouflage.
What is concealing coloration?
100
"Good for you, good for me!"
What is mutualism?
100
These are the traits that are not observable on an organism.
What are genotypes?
200
This is the variable that relies on the things that the experimenter changes.
What is the dependent variable?
200
This is the person who discovered natural selection.
Who is Charles Darwin?
200
This is camouflage that confuses the predator with patterns or irregular stripes.
What is disruptive coloration?
200
"Good for me, doesn't bother you!"
What is commensalism?
200
These are the traits that are observable on an organism.
What are phenotypes?
300
This is the variable that stays the same.
What is the constant/control variable?
300
These are the things an animal does to survive in its environment.
What are behavioral adaptations?
300
Instead of hiding, this method of "camouflage" actually makes them more visible.
What is aposematic coloration?
300
"Good for me, bad for you!"
What is parasitism?
300
These are the traits an animal learns.
What are acquired traits?
400
This is the group in an experiment that changes.
What is the independent/experimental group?
400
This is when something in an environment causes an organism's camouflage to change.
What is selective coloration?
400
The organism looks like or acts like another one.
What is mimicry?
400
What word part means with "with" in ancient Greek/Latin?
What is "sym"?
400
This is when your gene has the exact same two letters.
What is homozygous?
500
This is the group that is not altered in an experiment.
What is the control group?
500
This is when nature provides resources to an organism, but the organism chooses which ones to use.
What is artificial selection?
500
This is when the markings or designs on an organism keeps the predators attention to non-lethal parts of the body.
What is deflection?
500
This is what "bio" stands for in symbiosis.
What is "to live" or "living" in ancient Greek/Latin?
500
These are little parts of your genes that represent the letters within them.
