reproduction in which all the genes passed on to the offspring comes from a single individual or parent
Asexual reproduction
They who break down and return nutrients to the soil (recyclers to the ecosystem)
Decomposers
A long linear polymer found in the nucleus of a cell and formed from nucleotides and shaped like a double helix is
DNA
The remains or impression of organisms in a rock
Fossil
this makes ATP (energy)
Mitochondria
Reproduction that involves two parents producing offspring that are genetically different from either parent
Sexual reproduction
they who only eats plants
Herbivores
A change in the nucleotide sequence of an organism DNA, ultimately creating genetic diversity
Mutations
Gives an advantage to organisms in order for them to survive
Adaptation
Protein synthesis
Ribosome
A fertilized egg is called this
Zygote
A species role in its environment is called this
Niche
These are different forms of a gene
Alleles
A species that is no longer in existence
Extinct
This passes materials in/out of the cell
Cell Membrane
The type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells
Meiosis
A series of steps in which organisms transfer energy by eating and being eaten is called
Food chain
What is the chart that shows all the possible combinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross
Punnet square
A species that is at risk of extinction
Endangered species
The control center (DNA and RNA)
Nucleus
The type of cell division that results in two darter cells each having the same number and kid of chromosomes as the parent nucleus
Mitosis
The diversity of life forms in an environment is called
Biodiversity
What is an organisms physical appearance, or visible traits
Phenotype
Darwin said that the organisms with a certain trait that is beneficial to their environment will survive while the ones without it will not survive
survival of the fittest
The green pigmented organelles found in plants that is responsible for photosynthesis
Chloroplast
