This is the human practice of breeding animals or plants that have certain desired traits.
What is artificial selection?
100
These control inherited traits?
What are genes?
100
This a group of various species that live in the same habitat and interact with each other.
What is a community?
100
An interaction between two organisms in which one organism kills another?
What is predation?
100
This is precipitation that has a pH below normal and has an unusually high concentration of sulfuric or nitric acids, often the result of chemical pollution.
What is acid rain?
200
This is the measurement of an individual's ability to survive and reproduce.
What is fitness?
200
This is the failure of a species to produce any descendants.
What is extinction?
200
This is a term for living factors in the ecosystem.
What is Biotic?
200
This is the largest population that an environment can support at a given time?
What is carrying capacity?
200
This is the presence in or introduction into the environment of a substance or thing that has harmful or poisonous effects
What is pollution?
300
This is the definition for evolution.
What is changes in allele frequencies in a population over time?
300
Double Jeopardy! This is the study of the changes in the numbers and types of alleles in populations.
What is population genetics?
300
This is the evaporation process in plants.
What is transpiration?
300
Double Jeopardy! This is the largest ecological niche where an organism or species can live without competition.
What is a fundamental niche?
300
This is the gradual increase in the average global temperature.
What is global warming?
400
This is random events of everyday life that can lower the survival and reproduction of individuals.
What is Genetic Drift?
400
This is a state in which two groups no longer interbreed to produce fertile offspring.
What is reproductive isolation?
400
This is a triangular diagram that shows an ecosystem’s loss of energy through the food chain in an ecosystem.
What is trophic level?
400
This is a species that is critical to the function of the ecosystem in which it lives because it affects the survival and abundance of many other species in its community.
What is a keystone species?
400
This is the normal process of warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of Earth when carbon dioxide, water vapor and other gases in the air absorb heat.
What is the green house effect?
500
This describes a character that is shared by a group of species because it is inherited from a common ancestor.
What are homologous structures?
500
This principle predicts that the frequencies of alleles and genotypes in a population will not change unless at least one of five forces acts upon the population.
What is Hardy-Weinberg principle?
500
This is the replacement of one type of community by another at a single location over a period of time.
What is succession?
500
This is a type of symbiosis where one organism benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed.
What is is commensalism?
500
This is the process of recovering valuable or useful materials from waste or scrap.
