BIO: Evolution & Adaptation
This famous scientist is known as the "Father of Evolution" after his voyage on the HMS Beagle
Darwin
This number, written in front of a chemical formula in an equation, represents the number of moles of that substance.
What is a Coefficient?
This type of wave, like light, can travel through the vacuum of empty space.
Electromagnetic Wave
A girl walks 30 meters in 10 seconds. This is her average speed.
3 m/s
What animal did they bring back from extinction using genetic technology?
Dire wolves
This term describes an organism's ability to survive and produce offspring in its environment
Fitness
In the reaction 2Mg + O2 -> 2MgO, this is the number of moles of Magnesium (Mg) needed to react completely with 5 moles of Oxygen (O2).
10
This is the highest point of a transverse wave.
Crest
To calculate this, you must take the total distance and divide it by the total time, including a specific direction.
Speed or Velocity
How many Dire Wolves did they bring back?
In natural selection, this "factor" determines which traits are favorable (e.g., a desert vs. an arctic tundra).
Environment
In the reaction $2Al + 3Cl_2 -> 2AlCl_3$, this is the number of moles of Aluminum Chloride ($AlCl_3$) produced if you start with 9 moles of Chlorine gas ($Cl_2$).
6 moles
This measurement describes the "height" of a wave, or the amount of energy it carries.
Amplitude
This is the acceleration of a car that starts at 0 m/s and reaches 20 m/s in 5 seconds
4 m/s2
What are the genders of the dire wolves? Are they the same age?
2 boys and 1 girl. The boys are 5 months older.
This is the term for a random change in a DNA sequence that can lead to new traits in a population
Mutation
In the reaction CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O, this is the number of moles of water (H2O) produced if you start with 3 moles of Methane (CH4).
6 moles
If a wave's frequency increases, its wavelength must do this.
Decrease
This type of diagram uses arrows to show the magnitude and direction of all forces acting upon an object.
What is a Free Body Diagram?
Believe it or not, the "Inner Fish" video explains that these human facial features actually evolved from the gill arches of ancient fish.
Jaw and Ear bones
This type of selection occurs when humans breed specific animals for desired traits, like turning wolves into pugs.
Artificial Selection
In the reaction N2 + 3H2 -> 2NH3, this is the number of moles of Ammonia (NH3) produced if you start with 4 moles of Nitrogen N2
4 moles
Sound waves are different from light because they are this type of wave, where particles vibrate parallel to the direction of travel.
Longitudinal
If a plane is traveling at a constant speed of 500 mph due East for 4 hours, this is the total distance it has covered.
2,000 miles
In the inner fish film, what were they dissecting?
Human Cadavers
