Taxonomy
A common characteristics that all organisms in the domain Eukarya share.
What is a nucleus? (Complex cell structure, membrane bound organelles, use mitosis for cell division)
This is the main driving force for evolution within organisms.
What is natural selection?
This is known as the branch of science that studies living organisms.
What is Biology?
This saying was coined to explain the phenomena that organisms better suited for their environment are more likely to survive and pass their genes on to the next generation. (Not Natural Selection)
What is the survival of the fittest?
These types of organisms are capable of creating their own food through chemical reactions.
What is an autotroph?
These is beneficial traits for survival that appear during evolution increasing an animals fitness.
What is adaptations?
This domain has cells that contain nucleuses and membrane bound organelles.
What is Eukarya?
This scientist developed the theory of Natural Selection.
Who is Charles Darwin?
This kingdom contains a cell wall and are also heterotrophs.
What is Fungi?
Comparing this in organisms is the best way of determine if they have a common ancestry.
What is DNA?
These 3 categories represent the different types of symbiotic relationships.
What is Mutualism, Commensalism, and Parasitism?
This is how scientist measure fitness in the field of Biology.
What is the ability to reproduce?
This diagram shows relationships between different groups based upon common ancestory. These relationships can tell us how closely related two different species are.
What is a phylogenic trees?
This process is known as speciation.
What is the formation of 2 different species due to difference in evolution of a single common species?
This important step of mitosis takes place during the S-Phase.
What is DNA Replication?
This must happen within a species for natural selection/evolution to take place. (Causes adaptations)
What is genetic mutation? (Genetic Variation)
This is a list of the taxonomic groups in order.
What is Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species?
These are structures or organs that have little to no use to an organism due to lack of evolutionary need.
What are vestigial organs?
This is the chemical equation for Photosynthesis?
What is 6CO2+6H2O---->C6H12O6+6O2?
This happens when there is no changes in allele frequencies within a population.
What is Genetic Equilibrium?
