1 bone, 2 bone, red bone, blue bone
This organism is the link between water and land.
What are tetrapods/tiktalik?
This extinction wiped out the dinosaurs.
What is the Cretaceous extinction?
This genetic technology helps farmers grow more/bigger produce.
What are GMOs?
These are markings/tracks/droppings preserved in rock.
What are trace fossils?
This fish can become a spiny puffball to protect itself.
What is a pufferfish?
The bone pattern that all tetrapods share.
1 bone, 2 bones, lots of bones, digits
This extinction event is the largest in history!
What is the Permian extinction?
This genetic technology uses a DNA swap from one organism to another to get new traits.
What are transgenic organisms?
This is used to determine the relative age of fossils.
What is the principle of superposition?
This organism can open jars with ease. It can also blend in to its surroundings to evade predators.
What is an octopus?
What is a mutation?
Some scientists say this extinction is happening right now!
What is the future/6th/anthropocene extinction?
This genetic technology is commonly used by humans to select for desirable traits in crops, dogs, and more.
What is artificial selection?
This is the formation of new and distinct species in the course of evolution.
What is speciation?
This organism has a third eyelid to block sand, wide feet to walk through sand dunes, and a hump of fat that they can use for energy if needed.
What is a camel?
What is the fossil record?
Also known as the great dying, this extinction was fueled by mass volcanic eruptions.
What is the Triassic extinction?
This genetic technology is used in humans to swap out negative genes for positive ones.
What is gene therapy?
The way variation occurs in an asexual population of bacteria. (This is a random change in DNA)
What is a mutation?
This amphibian can freeze their blood during hibernation, fully stopping their heart and forming ice crystals in their body. When the weather is warm enough, they thaw and go back to living their lives.
What are wood frogs?
The duo that created the theory of natural selection.
Who are Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace?
This mass extinction was actually caused by too many plants being present on Earth.
What is the Devonian extinction?
This is the name of the technology that is used in gene therapy to punch out a gene and insert a new one.
What is CRISPR-CAS9?
This type of dominance occurs when a dominant and recessive allele blend together to create a new hybrid.
What is codominance?
This semi-aquatic egg laying mammal of action uses electroreceptors in its bill to detect prey in their hunting area.
What is the platypus?
