Genetics- cells
what kind of cell division goes through asexual reproduction
Mitosis
the genetic makeup of an organism
genotypes
the process where traits that enhance survival and reproduction become more common in population
natural selection
an exact copy of an organism or a cell
what is cloning
preserved remains or traces of ancient organisms
what are fossils
The powerhouse of the cell
What is the mitochondria?
the observable traits or characteristics of an organism
what is phenotype
the movement of organisms to new locations
migration
humans breed organisms for specific traits
artificial selection
what do fossils help to do?
learn the history of life on earth
both start with one cell
What is mitosis and meiosis
two identical alleles for a specific gene
the random change in allele rates in a population over time
genetic drift
what does GMO stand for
genetically modified organism
the exact age in years determined using dating and other techniques
absolute age of rocks and fossils
a diploid cell resulting from the fusion of two haploid gametes
What is zygote?
having two different alleles for a specific gene
heterozygous
are the feathers on a bird structural or behavior adaption?
structural
the changing genes to treat or prevent disease
what is gene therapy
the actual remains of an organism, bones, teeth, and shells
body fossils
the fluid that fills a cell
cytoplasm
if one parent had homozygous recessive green eyes and the other had homozygous dominant blue eyes what would the child have?
the child will have blue eyes
is mimicry a behavior or structural adaption?
behavior adaption
is it an advantage or disadvantage of artificial selection when it develops desired traits faster?
advantage
The oldest rock layers are at the bottom and the youngest are at the top.
law of superposition
