This is the term for the combination of alleles you get from your parents.
What is genotype?
100
This is an example of a heterozygous genotype.

After his exploration aboard the HMS Beagle, this scientist wrote a book, "On the Origin of Species" where he first proposed the Theory of Natural Selection.

When fossil fuels are burned to create electricity, this greenhouse gas is released.
What is carbon dioxide?
100
This is one part of the cell theory.
What is: all living things are composed of cells, cells are the basic units of structure in living things, OR new cells are produced from existing cells.
200
This is the result, or the trait that shows for a certain genotype. (What the PHoto would look like)
What is phenotype?
200
In people, a widow's peak is dominant to a straight hairline, this is what type of hairline a person with genotype 'Hh' would have.
What is a widow's peak?
200
One reason that "Survival of the Fittest" is misleading is because survival isn't really most important, this is.
What is reproduction?
200
These are the 3 inputs plants need to perform photosynthesis.
What are carbon dioxide (CO2), sunlight, and water (H20)?
200
There are 3 things a plant cell has that an animal cell doesn't. Name 1 out of those 3 things.
What is the cell wall, chloroplast, or central vacuole?
300
An example of this genotype is 'YY'. (Please include two words in your answer)
What is homozygous dominant?
300
A widow's peak is dominant, and a straight hair line is recessive. Jay-Z and Beyonce both have straight hair lines. Because of that, this is the genotype their baby, Blue Ivy, MUST have.
What is homozygous recessive?
300
"Survival of the Fittest" makes it seem like the strongest or fastest organism always wins the evolutionary race, but this is really what evolutionary fitness is.
What is being well-suited to the current environment?
300
These are the 2 outputs of photosynthesis.
What are carbohydrates (sugar/starches) and oxygen?
300
These are concentrated sources of carbon created by ancient plants and animals being buried underground under lots of pressure for millions of years.
What are fossil fuels?
400
If the recessive trait is showing, this HAS TO BE the genotype (You must use the scientific term).
What is homozygous recessive?
400
A female cat has genotype 'Tt', and a male cat has genotype 'tT', what's the probability (in percent) that the offspring will have a genotype of 'tt'?
What is 25%?
400
These random occurrences account for most of the adaptations that lead to the evolution of a species.
What are genetic mutations?
400
In each step of a food chain or energy pyramid, this is how much of the energy is USED/LOST before it reaches the next level.
What is 90%?
400
In an energy pyramid, this is the level that contains the most energy.
What is the bottom/producer/lowest level?
500
This is what DNA stands for.
What is DeoxyriboNucleic Acid?
500
A straight thumb is the dominant gene, and a curved thumb is the recessive gene. If the mother is homozygous dominant and the father is heterozygous, what's the probability that the offspring would have curved thumbs?
What is 0%?
500
This is the scientist that incorrectly thought that individual organisms adapted to their evironment, like the giraffe trying to stretch its neck out.
Who is Jean Baptiste Lamarck?
500
This states that mass can never be created nor destroyed, it just changes form.
What is the Law of Conservation of Mass?

What is: cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism? Example: cardiac cell, cardiac tissue, heart, circulatory system, human.
