What is genetic drift?
he change in frequency of an existing gene variant in the population due to random chance, such as someone stepping on an organism
What is a cladogram?
a diagram that shows the evolutionary relationships between organisms
What is photosynthesis?
The process of using solar energy to create glucose and oxygen
What is the male part of the flower called and what makes up those parts?
The stamen and the 2 parts are the anther and the filament
The jaw and teeth size decreased. The skull increased in size.
What is a mutation?
The change in a DNA sequence of a cell.
If the trait comes after the organism, what does that mean?
What is cellular respiration?
The process of using glucose and oxygen to create energy

Pistil and the parts are the stigma, style and ovary
What are the 5 mechanisms of evolution?
Gene Flow, Genetic Drift, Mutation, Natural Selection, Non-random mating.
What is non-random mating?
Selective Choosing of Partners. Leads to only certain traits being passed on to the next generations.
Organisms that are more ________ related will be closer to each other on the cladogram
closely
What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
The reactants of one are the products of the other.
Describe the process of plant reproduction
Anther(pollen) to the stigma to the style then the ovary which fertilizes the egg
