Heredity
100
A testable explanation based on observations.
What is a hypothesis?
100
The full range of physical and biological conditions in which an organism lives and the way in which the organism uses those conditions
What is a niche?
100
CO2 + H2O > C6H12O6 + O2
What is the chemical formula for photosynthesis?
100
These types of organisms get energy from the sun. (most inclusive vocabulary)
What is an autotroph/a producer?
100
An individual with one X chromosome and one Y chromosome.
What is a male?
200
A small scale version of a larger system meant for gathering data and scientific evidence.
What is a model?
200
A group of individuals of the same species that live in the same area.
What is a population?
200
It is what contains DNA in a eukaryotic cell.
What is the nucleus?
200
An organism that breaks down and obtains energy from dead organic matter.
What is a decomposer?
200
A trait that is expressed only in the absence of the dominant allele. An example of this would be bb.
What is homozygous recessive?
300
This is the first step of the scientific method.
What is making observations?
300
The movement of individuals INTO an new ecosystem or population.
What is immigration?
300
A group of three nitrogenous bases that code for an amino acid.
What is a codon?
300
This is a sugar, a form of stored energy, involved in both photosynthesis and respiration.
What is glucose?
300
The struggle for existence, variations within populations, adaptations to environments, and survival of the fittest are the tenets of this theory.
What is natural selection?
400
This summarizes the results of an experiment, restating the hypothesis and stating whether the hypothesis is correct or not.
What is the conclusion?
400
The gradual recovery of an ecosystem after a disturbance, such as a forest fire.
What is ecological succession?
400
Adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine.
What are the 4 nitrogenous bases of DNA?
400
The maximum number of individuals of a particular species that a particular environment can support.
What is carrying capacity?
400
This type of cell division results in haploid, genetically diverse daughter cells.
What is meiosis?
500
These are measurable observations
What is quantitative data?
500
Competition, invasive species, pesticides, habitat alteration, disease, and predation are all examples.
What are examples of limiting factors?
500
This is part of cell division. It results in genetically identical diploid daughter cells.
What is mitosis?
500
Based on a cow's eating habits, a cow is an example of this.
What is a consumer/herbivore?
500
A sequence of DNA (passed from parent to offspring) that determines a trait.
What is a gene?
