Ecosystems and taxonomy
The father of taxonomy, the binomial naming system
Carl Linnaeus
One reason why cells divide
The father of Genetics
Gregor Mendel
The basic unit of life
What biologists study. Think 'ology'
living things
Give an example of a producer or autotroph
Tree, shrub, grass, flowers, algae, cactus
The type of cell that performs mitosis
Somatic cells
A trait that is always expressed/ covers up other traits
Dominant
The thing that protists, plants, fungi and animals ALWAYS have in common
They are Eukaryotic
DNA stands for this
Deoxyribonucleic Acid
An ecosystem that is known for wet weather and damp soil
rain forest
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
The number of PAIRS of human chromosomes
23
Homologous structures in different organisms suggest this
They have a common ancestor
The organelle that you find DNA in
nucleus
All energy in an ecosystem ultimately comes from this one source
The sun
The number of genetically identical daughter cells at the end of mitosis
two
Homologous chromosomes exchange genetic information in this process
Crossing over
Natural selections states these individuals will survive
individuals with the best variations for the environment, the best adapted to survive, the strongest
Name the four DNA nucleotide bases.
Adenine, Cytosine, Thymine, Guanine
3 abiotic factors in an ecosystem

Gametes are produced during which process.
Meiosis
In a cross of Tt x tt, and T is dominant for tall, t recessive for short, the percentage of offspring that are short
50%
The kingdom that has prokaryotic organisms
Archaebacteria
Changes in DNA sequence can lead to changes in this.
mRNA, codons in mRNA
