Variation- A different or distinct form or version of something.
Genes- Is a unit of heredity that is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring

A zygote is a diploid cell resulting from the fusion of two haploid gametes; a fertilized ovum.

A diploid are cells that have pairs of chromosomes
What is a Diploid?

Mitosis is when the nucleus and its contents divide. Mitosis is associated with Asexual reproduction.
The 4 stages are 1) Prophase 2) Metaphase, 3) Anaphase 4) Telophase

It is Ribonucleic Acid and it is present on all living cells. Its main job is to act like a messenger carrying instructions from DNA for controlling the synthesis of proteins.
The pairs are: Adenine + Uracil
Cytosine + Guanine
What is RNA and what are the pairs?

Diversity is a range of different things.
This is what diversity is in the science world:
1. Diversity is critical to excellence
2. Lack of diversity represents a loss of talent
3. Enhancing diversity is key to long-term economic growth and global competitiveness

Meiosis is cell division that produces reproductive cells in sexually reproducing organisms; the nucleus divides into four nuclei each containing half the chromosome number.
There are 8 stages.
What does Meiosis do and how many stages are there?

P waves: fastest, can go through solid rocks and water, go up and down, and animals can hear them before we do.
S waves: slowest but more powerful, cannot go through water, goes up and down, and only go through rock.

Natural selection- For survival if an organism can pass on certain traits and have more offspring they will have a great chance to survive.
Charles Darwin discovered Natural Selection.
