What will happen if we plant seeds in the winter?

200
Name an example of a plant adaptation.
Strong roots, longer roots, bright flowers, life cycle...
200
Give an example of a structure for support for
1. Animals
2. Plants
1. Bones (exoskeleton and skeleton)
2. Stems, and branches
200
What are two ways animals are adapted to seasonal changes?

What effect could less winter snow have on the fur of white snowshoe hares (rabbits)?
The fur may become less white to blend in

What is succession?

Coconut trees grow in tropical regions. What would be an effect of an ocean current that carried coconuts to colder areas?
Those coconuts would not grow into trees because coconut trees are not adapted to cold climates.
400
What is a change in a gene called?
a mutation
500
Plants have 2 types of adaptations. Name them
Physical adaptations and Life-Cycle adaptations.
500
Blood travels through our body inside arteries and veins. Compare the function of a plant's vascular system to the function of our arteries and veins.
All carry liquids from one place to another. Arteries and veins carry blood; plant vessels carry water and nutrients.
500
Are all behavioral adaptations learned?
No, some are instincts that the animal knows without being taught.
500
What happens to species that have no more members of its kind alive?
Become extinct.
