genetics
the passing of genetic information from one generation to the next through reproduction.
what is Heredity
the process by which organisms have changed over time from simple, single-celled: complex-single-celled
what is Evolution
all of earth's ecosystems
what is Biosphere
resources that can replenish themselves if not abused (planting of trees)
what is Renewable Resources
the thing that changes because of the IV (DATA collected)
what is Dependent Variable
occurs when certain genetic mutations in a cell can result in uncontrolled cell division.
what is Cancer
nature selects those individuals who are best fit for the environment
what is Natural Selection
all the different populations in an area
what is Community
cut down on the amount used (smaller packaging)
what is Reduce
the group that is studied under the normal conditions.
what is Control Group
Differences between asexual and sexual reproduction
what is one is Identical Cells ones Not Identical Cells
the disappearance of an entire species caused by a failure to adapt to a changing environment
what is Extinction
all the organisms of a species that live in the same area
what is Population
resources that take a long time to replace or form (like coal,oil)
Nonrenewable Resources
Where does the Independent Variable (IV) go on a data table? What about the Dependent Variable (DV)?
what is Organizing Data
a single stranded polymer that is produced by DNA.
what is 3 types: Messenger RNA, Transfer RNA and Ribosomal RNA
Any trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce under a given set of environmental conditions
what is Adaptive Value
what species can eat plants & animals
what is Omnivores
a harmful change in the chemical makeup of the air, water, or soil.
what is pollution
the one thing that “I change” to test my hypothesis.
what is Independent Variable
alteration of the DNA sequence which changes the normal message carried by the gene.
what is Mutation
more offspring are produced than can survive
what is Overproduction
what species can only eat animals
what is Carnivores
Sulfur and nitrogen compounds in air pollution dissolve in the moisture of the atmosphere to form acids, causing rain to have a low pH (acidic).
what is Acid Rain
the group that is identical to the control group with the ONE CHANGE or difference (the Independent Variable).
what is Experimental Group
