What is Biological Diversity?
the role of an organism in the ecosystem in called the
niche
The idea where organisms that are best adapted to their environment survive and pass on their genes
natural selection
What type of reproduction is this?
advantages: fast, don't need 2 organisms, no specialized cells
asexual
humans have 23 pairs of these
chromosomes

cloning
classification for when species numbers are dropping
special concern
True or false: a population with many variations is less likely to survive environmental changes
false, many variations means it is more likely to survive
The name of the process when two gametes come together
fertilization
daughter cells are 2n

a way of describing a trait based on what the trait physically looks like
phenotype
Biotechnology where you intentionally alter the DNA of an organism or a population of organisms
Genetic Engineering
Conservation method that involved seed banks and captive breeding
