DNA and genetics
The study of inheritance
What is heredity
The basic unit of life
What is a cell?
This word meaning different ensures a species has the diversity necessary to survive in a changing environment.
What is variation?
Alligators and Burmese pythons both eat rats and birds in the Florida everglades. This relationship describes them.
What is competition?
These organisms are single celled and do not have a nucleus. They can be autotrophs or heterotrophs.
What are prokaryotes?
The molecule responsible for inheritance
What is DNA?
Cells use this process to maintain homeostasis by getting rid of harmful or unnecessary products
What is removing waste?
Evolution occurs through this process, where organisms more suited for their environment are more likely to have offspring who are also suited to their environment.
What is natural selection?
Squirrels in Florida usually have more than enough food to eat, and lots of water, but often die from diseases or predation. These two limiting factors are keeping the squirrel population from growing.
What are predation and disease?
These are the 3 domains.
What are archaea, bacteria, and eukarya?
The part of a chromosome that gives instructions for a protein
What is a gene?
This body system works to fight pathogens such as viruses and bacteria with the help of this system which transports material
What is the immune system and the circulatory system.
Species are more likely to become extinct if they are low in this property.
What is genetic variation?
Bees help to pollinate flowers and receive energy from the flowers, an example of this kind of symbiotic relationship.
What is mutualism?
These 4 kingdoms in domain eukarya can be heterotrophs or autotrophs, but all of them have a nucleus and organelles in their cell.
What are animalia, plantae, fungi, and protista?
The chances two parents who are homozygous recessive for blue eyes will have a child with brown eyes.
What is 0%?
This organelle works to maintain homeostasis by providing the instructions the cell uses to divide when reproducing.
What is the nucleus?
Evolution is supported by evidence from changes in long ago organisms, called this.
What is the fossil record?
Mosquitoes eat the blood of humans and can spread diseases to them, sometimes killing the humans. Mosquitoes and humans have this kind of relationship which is likely to have this impact on the human population.
What is parasitism and cause a decrease?
This kingdom in domain eukarya is the "junk drawer kingdom" which can be unicellular or multicellular
What is protista?
The chance two parents who are heterozygous for brown eyes will have a blue eyed child
What is 25%?
In living organisms, this level of organization is made of multiple cells working together, such as in the lining of the skin.
What is tissue?
Peppered moths changed from white to black when their environment shifted to black. This camouflage is an example of an ___________________ leading to ________________.
What is adaptation and evolution?
Autotrophs are an example of this in a food web, while decomposers are an example of this.
What are producers and heterotrophs?
Organisms which have no nucleus, survive in very extreme climates, and are simple are likely to belong to this domain.
What is domain archaea?
