Genetics
These are the letters that make up the rungs of the DNA "ladder"
What are A,C,G,T?
This is word describes how likely it is that an organism will survive long enough to pass on its genes to the next generation.
What is fitness?
This is a community of living and nonliving things in a specific environment.
What is an ecosystem?
This is the "fence" of the cell, which controls what substances are allowed in or out
This is the pigment in plant cells that captures the sun's energy for photosynthesis
What is chlorophyll?
This organelle stores DNA and could be considered the control center of the cell
What is the Nucleus?
Imagine a population of frogs where some frogs suddenly develop a mutation which allows them to have an extra sticky tongue to catch flies. Over time, will the trait for normal or extra-sticky tongue be more common within the population?
What is abiotic?
This is the goo-like substances that holds all the other organelles and gives the cell its shape
What is cytoplasm?
This is the process of cell division
What is mitosis?
Humans have this many pairs of homologous chromosomes in each cell.
What is 23?
This is a trait which helps an organism survive in its environment
What is an adaptation?
This is the approximate amount of energy which is passed on when an organism is eaten by another organism.
What is 10%?
The main difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is that prokaryotes do NOT have this organelle.
What is the nucleus?
This is the step of the cell cycle where DNA replicates in preparation for division
What is interphase?
This is one of the many possible variations of a trait
What is an allele?
In the theory of natural selection, this determines which traits are more likely to be passed on to the next generation.
What is the environment where the organism lives?
This trophic level contains all photosynthetic organisms
What are producers?
These are the two organelles which plant cells have that animal cells do not?
What are the cell wall and chloroplasts?
This process takes place in the mitochondria and allows cells to create energy.
What is cellular respiration?
In humans, the allele for black hair (B) is dominant over the allele for blonde hair (b). If someone had the genotype Bb, what would their phenotype be?
What is black hair?
This shape bird beak would be best for ripping and tearing into small animals and fish (draw it!)
What is hooked?
This trophic level is made up of organisms that break down dead and decaying organisms.
This organelle makes energy for the cell via cellular respiration.
What is the mitochondria?
This stage of mitosis is when homologous chromosomes separate and are pulled to opposite sides of the cell.
What is Anaphase?
