The carbon cycle is one of the main cycles in nature, the carbon cycle produces nutrients and energy in plants for animal consumption. The cycle also is responsible for all oxygen production.

What is the Carbon Cycle?

100

Change over time; the process by which modern organisms have descended from ancient organisms 

What is evolution?

100

C. Camouflage

Structural adaptation that enables species to blend with their surroudings; allows a species to avoid detection by predators.

A. Adaptation

B. Mimicry

C. Camouflage

D. Structural Adaptation

100

A naturalist and biologist known for his theory of evolution and the process of natural selection.

Who was Charles Darwin?

100

A graphic representation of genetic inheritance.

What is pedigree?

200

Photosynthesis and Cellular respiration.

What are the two main stages of the carbon cycle?

200

The Earth is not a closed system, life forms must consume energy.

Why does the theory of evolution NOT violate the Law of Thermodynamics?

200

A. Phenotype

The physical appearance or biochemical characteristic of an organism as a result of the interaction of its genotype and the environment.

A. Phenotype

B. Biochemistry

C. Geneotype

D. Allele

200

It’s a smallest, lowest islands were hot, dry, and nearly barren-hood islands-sparse regetation.

What is the Galapagos Island?

200

When the two alleles inherited from the parents are neither dominant nor recessive, but blend together to give a physical trait that is somewhere between the two.

What is incomplete dominance?

300

The slow Carbon Cycle and the fast Carbon Cycle.

What are the two types of Carbon Cycle?

300

Collecting data on DNA sequences of past and present organisms.

How can evolution be directly observed?

300

D. Variability

The tendency of individual genetic characteristics in a population to vary from one another.

A. Evolution

B. Inheritability

C. Fitness

D. Variability

300

The animals that Darwin found were Land Te ortoises, Darwin Finches, Blue Footed Boody, Marine iguanas.

Which animals found Darwin on the island Galapagos?

300

By the presence or absence of certain molecules on the surfaces of red blood cells.

How are human blood types determined?

400

A series of chemical reactions and tectonic activily.

What is the slow Carbon Cycle?

400

Paleontology (Fossils), Anatomy (Structures/functions, embryology), Molecular Science (DNA);

What three types of evidence are there for evolution?

400

B. Natural Selection 

A natural process resulting in the evolution of organisms best adapted to the environment.

A. Allele

B. Natural Selection 

C. Fossil Record

D. Adaptation

400

Charles Darwin 

Who was the first person to come to the Galapagos Islands?


400

When parents do not show the trait, but have children who do; a generation is skipped.

What defines a recessive pedigree?

500

Is largely the movement of carbon through life forms on Earth.

What is the fast Carbon Cycle?

500

Evolution tinkers with DNA.
It's the same theme, restated over and over again.

What molecular evidence supports evolution?

500

D. Mimicry

A similarity of one organism, usually an animal, to another that has evolved because the resemblance is selectively favoured by the behaviour of a shared signal receiver that can respond to both.

A. Camouflage

B. Adaptation

C. Fitness

D. Mimicry 

500

September 1835

When did Darwin come to the island?

500

One or both parents show the trait; no generations are skipped.

What defines a dominant pedigree?
