Mitosis/Meiosis
Asexual reproduction involves how many parent cells?
One
Who was known as the Father of Modern Genetics?
Gregor Mendel
Who created the theories of natural selection and evolution?
Charles Darwin
A change over long periods of time in a particular species is known as
Evolution
List the following components from SMALLEST to LARGEST:
DNA, chromosomes, genes
Genes, DNA, Chromosomes
(Mitosis or Meiosis):
Which process do your body cells undergo to regrow in the event of cell damage?
Mitosis
What did Mendel study in the garden of the monastery?
Pea Plants
Which animals did Darwin study on the Galapagos Islands that helped him come the conclusion of the processes of natural selection?
Finches
The same structures found in many different organisms with different functions are known as
Any change in an organism's DNA sequence is known as a
Mutation
How many cells are created at the END of Mitosis?
2
The trait that will ALWAYS be shown is the
Dominant trait
What is a particular trait that helps an organism survive?
Adaptation
___________ can occur because individuals of the same species are separated for long periods of time, causing each to adapt and change to their specific environments. Eventually, these individuals are so different, they become different species altogether and can no longer breed.
Speciation
A common negative mutation that results from uncontrolled cell division is called
Cancer
What are the names of the kinds of cells created in Meiosis?
Gametes
The trait that will ONLY be shown if the genotype is HOMOZYGOUS is
recessive trait
The ability of an organism to best adapt, survive, and reproduce in its environment describes the phrase:
Survival of the Fittest
The study of species' _______________ before birth can help scientists determine possible common ancestry as they all look very similar
embryos
If freckles (F) are dominant over no freckles (f), what would the genotype of a PUREBRED female with freckles be?
FF
(Mitosis/Meiosis):
Which of the following cell division processes undergo "crossing over"?
Meiosis
If green skin (G) is dominant over purple skin (g) and a HOMOZYGOUS green mother is crossed with a HOMOZYGOUS purple father, what is the percentage that the offspring will be purple?
0%
(Natural Selection or Artificial Selection):
Over the past 40 years, rabbits have become 25% faster than once recorded. Their feet are 1.5 inches longer than they used to be. This helps the rabbits to quickly escape predators in their environment
Natural Selection
The theory of evolution states that all species on Earth at one point in time had one ______________
common ancestor
Prophase 1
