The 6 Kingdoms
This kingdom belongs on the thumb.
What are, plants?
This is the basic building block of life.
What is a cell?
This is what the prefix bio- means.
What is life?
This is the definition of evolution.
What is, the change in the characteristics of a species over several generations?
Mushrooms, yeast, and mold are examples of this kingdom.
What are fungi?
This is the basic building block of matter.
What is an atom?
This is the genetic code for all living things.
What is DNA?
Differences between individuals of the same species describe this principle of evolution.
What is variation in populations?
These two kingdoms belong on the pointer finger.
What are, archaebacteria and eubacteria?
This is the definition of a population.
What is a group of organisms of the same species, living in the same area?
These are 3 examples of abiotic factors in the environment.
What is, air, water, and rocks?
Molecular Biology, an example of evidence for evolution uses this tool to assess how related specific species are.
What is, DNA comparison?
Amoebas are an example of this kingdom.
What are, protists?
This is the definition of an ecosystem.
What is, a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment.
This is the term that describes how regulating an organism's internal conditions for surviving despite changes in its environment.
What is homeostasis?
The limbs or a human arm, god leg, brid wing and whale fin are all similar. What evidence for evolutions does this describe?
What is homologous structure?
This is the term for organisms with a membrane-bound nucleus and organelles.
What are eukaryotes?
The nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria are examples of this.
What are organelles?
These are three of the characteristics all life has.
What is, any of the following:
1) Have cells (as the basis of organization)
2) Reproduce
3) Have DNA (our common genetic code)
4) Develop (including growing)
5) Use energy (allowing for chemical reactions)
6) Adjust (respond) to their environment
7) Maintain homeostasis
8) Generations of living things adapt & evolve
These are two principles of evolution that are based on competition between individuals.
What is 'offspring compete' and 'survival of the fittest'.
