animal adaptations
is adaptation a fast or slow prosses?
a slow prosses
how many parents are needed for asexual reproduction?
1 parent
what does latitude measure?
distance from the equator
what are genes
The basic unit of heredity passed from parent to child.
What is radiation?
the transfer of thermal energy in the form of light that travels through open space
true or false: are all adaptations behavioral
false
how many parents are needed for sexual reproduction
2 parents
when you go higher in elevation does it get colder or hotter
colder
can you get genes from grandparents?
Yes! The percentage of DNA that you share with each grandparent is around 25%
What is convection?
when moving fluids rise and fall do too different in different densities
what is physical adaptation?
a feature or body part that helps a animal survive.
what present of genes goes into the offspring when you have sexual reproduction?
50%
do areas closer to the ocean have more precipitation?
yes
What is an inherited trait?
coded in our DNA and hence can be passed on to the next generation.
what is conduction?
the way thermal energy transfers from one substance to another by direct contact or touch
What is a behavioral adaptation?
Actions or things organisms do to survive
what is 1 advantage of having sexual reproduction?
ability to adapt to a changing environment
what does ocean and wind currents spread?
warm and cold water around the ocean
what are Genes, Chromosomes, and Reproduction
Specific segments of DNA are called genes.
what is heat?
the transfer of thermal energy
is this a behavioral or physical adaptation
bright colors to warn predators
physical adaptation
what is 1 advantage of having asexual reproduction?
it is fast
what is latitude and longitude
Latitudes are horizontal lines that measure distance north or south of the equator. Longitudes are vertical lines that measure east or west of the meridian
Why is understanding genetics important for scientists?
appropriately collecting and applying genetic and genomic information and technologies during clinical care
what is an insulator?
a material that reduces the rate of heat transfer
