Cells
This is the smallest thing that can be said to be alive.
A cell
This body system moves food through the body
Digestive System
This molecule gives your body instructions on what to make and how to look.
DNA
This describes when nature “chooses” traits in a species.
Natural Selection
Changes to this cause changes to species
Environment
This creates energy for the cell, and is often called the “powerhouse of the cell.”
Mitochondria
This body system pumps blood through the body.
Circulatory System
This structure is a compact form of DNA. Humans have 46 of them.
Chromosome
This process describes how humans have created different dog breeds.
Artificial selection/selective breeding
This type of evidence compares modern skeletons to the remains of animals that died a long time ago.
Fossils
This word describes parts of the cell
Organelles
This body system includes the brain and spinal cord
Nervous System
This is the only possible genotype that an AA father and aa mother can create.
Aa
A trait that helps an organism survive in a particular environment
Adaptation
These similar traits in different species suggest shared ancestry
Homologous structures
This is created by Chloroplasts
Sugar
These two systems work together to get oxygen to the body’s cells.
Circulatory and respiratory
What is the likelihood that an Aa mother and Aa father will have an aa offspring?
1/4 or 25%
The name of the insect that changed from white to black due to pollution
Peppered moth
These three traits are shared by all vertebrate embryos (must list all three!)
Tails, gills, eyes
This is the process by which a cell turns sugar and oxygen into energy and CO2
Cellular Respiration
These two systems work together to bring into the body what it needs for cellular respiration
Respiratory and digestive
Green peas are dominant to yellow peas. A heterozygous pea plant is pollinated by a homozygous dominant pea plant. What is the likelihood of offspring being green?
100%
A genetic technology that removes and replaces a section of DNA
CRISPR
This type of evolution describes two different species becoming more similar/adapting the same trait
