Experimental Design
A variable that is being manipulated is called an
independent variable
A hierarchical system for naming and classifying living things; it is also a discipline in biology that studies how organisms are classified
Taxonomy
A group of individuals that are in the same species that live in the same area.
Population
The process by which organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.
Natural Selection
This man came up with the theory of Evolution
Darwin
The group that is being tested and receives "the change" in an experiment.
experimental group
"Two name-naming system" is called
Binomial nomenclature
In this type of distribution, the population shows no regular pattern
random
Any change in the relative frequency of alleles in the gene pool of a population over time.
Evolution
This kingdom has organisms with a cell wall.
Plantae
A broad explanation for natural phenomena. (Tested multiple times)
Theory
A group of closely related species
genus
Growth that increases at a constant amount per unit of time
Logistic growth
The random change in allele frequency caused by chance occurrences like natural disasters
Genetic drift
The most inclusive taxon.
Domain
A proposed explanation that can be tested.
Hypothesis
A group of organisms with similar genera
Family
The larger organism in a symbiotic relationship upon or inside of which the smaller organism lives
Host
In order for genetic equilibrium to be maintained certain conditions must be satisfied according to this principle.
Hardy-Weinberg Principle
This biologist came up with the binomial nomenclature system.
Linnaeus
A statement that describes a natural phenomenon
Scientific Law
This kingdom's organisms are eukaryotic, unicellular, hetero and autotrophic.
Protista
Natural hazards like wildfires, volcanoes, earthquakes, and meteor impacts are this type of factor
Density-Independent Limiting Factor
The distribution curve for this type of selection becomes more broad as multiple distinctive traits become selected for highest fitness.
Disruptive Selection
This method of estimating a population involves counting the number of individuals per unit of area.
quadrants method
