Ecological Succession
These organisms are the first to colonize new and undisturbed land.
What are pioneer species?
This organelle contains DNA and directs the actions of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
A trait is this when it blocks other traits from being expressed.
What is dominant?
When using Punnett squares, these are used to represent dominant traits.
What are capital letters?
This law states that the amount of acceleration is dependent on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied to it.
What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?
This type of succession can occur following a wildfire in a forest.
What is secondary succession?
This organelle is the site of photosynthesis and is only found in plants and some protists.
What is a chloroplast?
This term refers to the different forms of a single gene.
What are alleles?
This is the percentage of heterozygous offspring you will get if you cross a purebred black furred dog and a purebred white furred dog.
What is 100%?
All acids have a pH of this.
What is less than 7?
This type of succession occurs on bare rock.
What is primary succession?
This organelle is also known as the 'powerhouse of the cell' due to it providing the energy most cells need to function.
What is mitochondria.
This genotype occurs when the organism has two genes that are identical.
What is homozygous?
This is another way to refer to an organism with a genotype of rr.
What is homozygous recessive?
Earthquakes occur around these types of plate boundaries.
What are convergent, divergent, and transform plate boundaries?
When compared to primary succession, this is true in regard to how long secondary succession takes.
What is a short time?
This organelle is much larger in plant cell than in animal cells, allowing plant cells to old more water on average than animal cells.
What is a vacuole.
This is an organism's physical trait that is coded for by the genotype.
What is a phenotype?
When you cross a purebred red eyed fruit fly and a hybrid red eyed fruit fly, this is the percentage of offspring that will have gray eyes.
What is 0%?
These two traits are what are used to plot stars on the H-R diagram.
What is luminosity and surface temperature?
This stage of an ecosystem occurs once succession has led to a rich amount of biodiversity and no longer undergoes major changes.
What is a climax community?
What is the synthesis of proteins?
This is the process of passing traits from one generation to the next.
What is inheritance?
A blue flower and a second blue flower produce offspring. Most of the offspring are blue, but some are white. This is the genotype of both parent flowers.
What is heterozygous?
All matter is composed of these tiny particles.
What are atoms?
