What is asexual reproduction?
One parent creating offspring
100
What is sexual reproduction?
Two parents creating offspring
100
Budding, fragmentation, and binary fission create offspring that are uniform. What does uniform mean?
Identical because of asexual reproduction
100
Where in the cell are inherited traits found? Draw the shape of this part of the cell
Nucleus (round/circle shape)
100
Genetic material is always stored in the X shaped item called what? This gives the organism its traits.
Chromosomes
200
What is heredity?
The passing of traits to offspring
200
What are the keepers of genes?
Chromosomes
200
What is external fertilzation?
Sperm and egg meet outside of the organism to be fertilized
200
What is internal fertilization?
Sperm and egg meet inside an organism to be fertilized
200
What is an adaptation?
characteristic that helps the organism survive by changing to fit the environment
300
What is a behavioral adaptation?
The organism behaves/acts a certain way to survive
300
What is a structural or physical adaptation?
Physical features or structures found internally and externally to help survival of organism
300
What is an external adaptation?
Ex: webbed feet, beak, claws... etc
300
What is an internal adaptation?
Ex: Light/hollow skeleton, gills, etc...
300
What is xylem?
Tubes in plants that transport water
400
What are the four basic needs all organisms need for survival?
Food, air, water, and shelter
400
What are variations in species?
How organisms vary in traits among their species
400
What helps animals blend into their environment for survival?
Camouflague
400
What is it called when nature picks the strongest adaptations to continue?
Natural Selection
400
What is the purpose of bulbs in some plants?
Bulbs store more water/food for survival and are too large for birds to eat compared to seeds
500
Why would animals have a better chance of survival in the Artic if their fur was white?
Camouflage from predators or camouflage to attack prey
500
Brown eyes are Dominant. If Mrs. Martinez has only genes for brown eyes, what color eyes will her future children most likely have? Why?
Brown because she is giving off 2 brown genes (BB)
500
If a poodle is bred with another poodle to create only purebreeds, what kind of genes would they have? Is this asexual or sexual?
Genes would be genetically identical because they are breeding the same kind of dogs and this is a form of sexual reproductin because two parents are creating offspring
500
A plant with tubers uses its tubers and seeds to reproduce asexually but the same plant uses its flowers to reproduce sexually with other flowers. What would offspring from the tubers/plants look like versus offspring from flowers?
Tubers/seeds will create identical offspring and flowers would create diverse offspring
500
What three items from a cell are part of traits?
genes(DNA), chromosomes, nucleus
