Reproduction
This type of reproduction requires only one parent and leads to identifical offspring
What is asexual reproduction?
This is a trait that an organism gets from their parent.
What is an inherited trait?
This is a process where organisms with favorable traits live to reproduce and pass on these desirable traits.
What is natural selection/survival of the fittest..
This is an organism that two or more modern organisms evolved from.
What are common ancestors?
This is a never ending process that produces sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks.
This is the form genetic material is stored in.
What are chromosomes.
This allows you to calculate the probability of offspring inheriting certain traits.
What is a Punnett square?
This is the process where a species genome changes.
What is evolution?
This is a common structure that organisms share due to evolving from the same common ancestor.
What are homologous structures?
This type of rock is formed by sediment being compacted.
What is cytokinesis?
This is a trait that organisms develop throughout life.
What is an acquired characteristic?
This famous scientist is credited with discovering the process of natural selection, which he developed after conducting research in the Galapagos Island
What are analogous structures?
This law allows us to estimate the relative age of rock layers (and fossils)
What is the law of superposition?
This type of reproduction has the drawback of requiring more time and energy.
What is sexual reproduction?
This is the likelihood of having a recessive phenotype when both parents are heterozygous.
What is 25%?
This process is considered over when two populations can no longer mate.
What is speciation?
This is an organism in the early stage of development before hatching/being born.
What is an embryo?
Fossil records allow us to determine when this occurs due to ash being found.
What are volcanic eruptions?
These are the 8 stages of meiosis.
What are prophase 1, metaphase 1, anaphase 1, telophase 1, prophase 2, metaphase 2, anaphase 2, and telophase 2.
This is a parent allele combination that will have a 100% chance of producing offspring that display recessive trait.
What is rr x rr?
Besides finches, Darwin also studied this organism on the Galapagos Islands.
What are tortoises?
This allows scientists to trace the evolution of species
What is the fossil record? Will also accept transition fossils.
This is what an individual layer of rock is called.
What is strata?
