What is the difference between genetics and heredity?
Heredity is the passing of physical characteristics from parents to offspring. Genetics is the scientific study of heredity.
What is natural selection?
Natural selection: populations of living organisms adapt and change. Individuals in a population are naturally variable, meaning that they are all different in some ways. This variation means that some individuals have traits better suited to the environment than others. Individuals with adaptive traits—traits that give them some advantage—are more likely to survive and reproduce.
What was Lamarck's theory on evolution?
Lamarck's theory of evolution is based on the principle that physical changes in organisms during their lifetime—such as greater development of an organ or a part through increased use—could be transmitted to their offspring.
What is the school Mascot?

How do cells release energy?
Cells release energy through cellular respiration and fermentation.
Which two techniques are used for selected breeding?
Inbreeding
Micro cloning
Hybridization
Genotype
What are inbreeding and hybridization?
Which scenario(s) demonstrates natural selection?
a. Giraffes with short necks were able to reach more food, so the adaptation of a long neck became an advantage.
b. Giraffes with long necks were able to reach more food, so the adaptation of a long neck became an advantage.
c. Brown rabbits in an arctic environment were easier prey for predators, so the adaptation of brown fur became an advantage.
d. Brown rabbits in an arctic environment were easier prey for predators, so the adaptation of white fur became an advantage.
b. Giraffes with long necks were able to reach more food, so the adaptation of a long neck became an advantage.
