Prom
This word, meaning hybrid, is used to describe a Paper Pet when it is a carrier of a recessive trait.
a. Homozygous
b. Homozygous Recessive
c. Heterozygous
d. Heterozygous Recessive
What is Heterozygous?
This term describes the starting point for Primary Succession.
a. Bare Rock
b. Grasses
c. Pioneer Species
d. Climax Community
What is Bare Rock?
The period of time a cell spends about 80% of its life.
a. Interphase
b. Mitosis
c. Meiosis
d. Cytokinesis
What is Interphase?
Mushrooms feed on organisms that were once alive. This is the name we give to the group of organisms that feed on dead things.
a. Producers
b. Consumers
c. Decomposers
d. Detritus
What are Decomposers?
This is the scientific study of biotic and abiotic factors in a given area.
a. Ecology
b. Environmental Science
c. Eco-Environmental Studies
d. Evolution
What is Ecology?
A hairy Paper Pet has just arrived at the Paper Pet Prom with a genotype of HH. This set of two words would describe the Paper Pet's genotypes.
What is Homozygous Dominant?
This term describes the group of organisms that will undergo little to no changes as succession comes to an end.
What is a Climax Community?
The phase of the mitosis, where chromosomes are pulled apart into sister chomatids.
What is Anaphase?
A maple tree is an autotroph, also known by this name in an ecosystem.
What is a Producer?
Alfred Wallace was one of the leaders in the development of this branch of Biology, which involves organisms changing.
What is Evolution?
This word, meaning alternative forms of a gene, are found in sets of two for all the traits present in Paper Pets at the Paper Pet Prom.
What are Alleles?
Giant Sequoia Trees use this cause of succession to replenish nutrients and release seeds.
What is a Wildfire?
At the end of this phase of mitosis, the nucleus can no longer be found.
What is Prophase?
A wolf eats moose on Isle Royale. This type of symbiotic relationship is common in ecosystems across the world.
What is a Predator-Prey Relationship (Predation)?
This word, is what we often call the stuff that flows through a food web.
What is Energy?
A male and female Paper Pet are crossed, when B = brown and b = green. The resulting offspring are all Homozygous Recessive for green color. This two letter combination would be the genotype of the parents.
What is bb?
On the Hawaiian Islands, volcanos erupt, creating new Earth. This simple organism with little to no roots is often found to be the Pioneer Species, or one that returns to an area first after a natural disaster.
What are Lichens (or Mosses)?
Cytokinesis occurs at the same time as this cell process.
What is Telophase?
A food chain goes as follows:
Grass --> Rabbit --> Snake --> Hawk
This is the type of consumer that the rabbit is.
What is a Herbivore (or First-Level Consumer)?
This triangular shaped diagram represents the flow of nutrients through an ecosystem.
What is an Energy Pyramid?
Mr. and Mrs. Paper Pet met at the Paper Pet Prom a few years ago. They have 4 offspring as follows for body shape, with the alleles being Round (R) and Angular (r):
1 RR; 2 Rr; 1 rr
This is the genotypes and phenotypes of the both parents.
What is Genotype = Rr; Phenotype = Round?
This volcano erupted in 1980 and destroyed the environment around itself in Washington State. Soon after, it became a major focus of study for Ecological Succession.
What is Mount St. Helens?
A cell undergoes its initial period of cell growth and development, known as this phase.
What is the G1 phase?
A food chain goes as follows:
Kelp --> Sea Urchin --> Sea Otter --> Orca
This is the name we would use to describe what type of consumer the Orca is.
What is an Apex Predator (or Third-Level Consumer)?
As the mRNA strand is read in the ribosome, this step in Translation occurs, growing an amino acid chain through polypeptide bonds forming.
What is Elongation?
