Metric System
The "meter" is labeled by what alphabetical symbol?
What is the letter "m?"
This man was the founder of the modern evolutionary theory as we know it today.
Who is "Charles Darwin?"
The natural process of favorable traits being passed down from population to population.
What is "natural selection?"
The arrangement that showcases the distributions of electrons of a specific atom/molecule.
What is "electron configuration?"
The monomers of a nucleic acid.
What is a "nucleotide?"
This unit is the standard for the length of measurement in the metric system.
What is a "meter?"
This word is defined as a map of evolutionary relatedness, similar to a family tree.
What is "phylogeny?"
These random genetic changes happen at chance and can deeply influence a species population's traits.
What is a "mutation?"
The property that describes the ability of atoms to attract electrons.
What is "electronegativity?"
These biomolecules consist of chain-linked amino acids and their shape and chemical structure determine their function to act as enzymes, structural components and much more.
What are "proteins?"
What is a "kilogram?"
This massive geological event 2.5 billion years ago caused a mass extinction of all life that couldn't handle the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere.
What is "The Oxygen Catastrophe?"
The selection of certain traits that can attract mates for reproduction and pass down the preferred traits to the next generation.
What is "sexual selection?"
This type of bond has an electronegativity difference of less than 0.4.
What is a "non-polar covalent bond?"
These biomolecules consist of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen and are mainly produced by plants via photosynthesis bur are also used as a fuel source among living organisms.
What are "carbohydrates?"
The symbol "µ" stands for what level of measurement?
What is "micro" or "one millionth?"
This two word definition was invented to classify a living organism.
What is "binomial nomenclature?"
The process of when an organism breeds with another organism from a different population and alter the traits of the new population.
What is "genetic flow?"
This type of bond has an electronegativity difference of 0.4-1.8.
What is a "polar covalent bond?"
These biomolecules are primarily used for long-term energy storage in living organisms and typically take the form of many different fats and oils.
What are "lipids?'
This curvature at the top of a liquid is used to make an accurate measurement in a graduated cylinder.
What is a "meniscus?"
This method measures the decay of radioactive isotopes to determine the age of fossils and/or rocks.
What is "radiometric dating?'
The process of random changes in allele frequencies of an organism that lead to the population gaining or losing traits purely by chance rather than selection.
What is "genetic drift?"
This type of bond has an electronegativity difference of more than 1.8.
What is an "ionic bond?"
This biomolecule carries genetic information in all living organisms and contains biological instructions that make species unique among themselves.
What is "DNA?"
