This is the basic units of life.
What are cells?
This percent of DNA comes from a single parent organism in sexual reproduction.
What is 50%?
These are used to create inferences.
What are observations?
These many variables change in a controlled experiement.
What is 1?
This type of reproduction occurs with only 1 organism.
What is asexual reproduction?
This is the difference between growth and development.
What is growth increases in size or number, development involves differentiation and maturing?
This type of reasoning compares new things to the rules of the natural world.
What is deductive reasoning?
These are the 3 parts of a controlled experiment.
What are: control group, independent variable, and dependent variable?
This is when organisms maintain an internal balance.
What is homeostasis?
This chemical process helps organisms break down and build up materials that are needed for their maintenance of life.
What is metabolism?
This is an example of how data can be shared out.

What is numbers, measurements, etc?

What is...
This is the definition of an adaptation.
What is an inherited characteristic or trait that results from a change in a species over time?
This is the difference between an independent and dependent variable.
What is the independent variable changes and causes the dependent variable to change?
The dependent variable goes on this axis when graphing experimental data.
What is the y axis?
These are the 8 characterisitics of life.
What are: cells, genetic code, growth and development, reproduction, respond to environment, need energy, homeostasis, and evolution?
This is the approximate amount of cells that humans have.
What is about 50 trillion?
These are the steps to the scientific method.
What are observe, question, make hypothesis, test hypothesis, analyze data, draw conclusions, share conclusions with others?
This is why it is important to share data and results with others.
