Genetics
This type of reproduction creates genetic variation by combining DNA from two parents.
Sexual reproduction
Evidence of extinct organisms preserved in rock is called this
Fossils
Trapped heat in Earth’s atmosphere through increased use of fossil fuels strengthens this effect.
Greenhouse Effect
These 3 types of hazards are found along plate boundaries, 2 of them almost exclusively along the ring of fire.
Earthquakes, volcanoes, & tsunamis
Offspring produced through this type of reproduction are genetically identical to the parent.
Asexual Reproduction
A change in DNA that may affect proteins is called this.
Mutation
White rabbits surviving better in snowy environments is an example of this process.
Natural selection
Burning fossil fuels contributes to rising global ____________.
Temperatures
This type of natural disaster forms over warm ocean water, but isn't named this until winds hit 74 miles per hour.
Hurricanes
Oil, coal, and natural gas are examples of these resources.
Fossil Fuels
Farmers choosing cows that produce more milk are using this process.
Selective breeding/Artificial Selection
Changes in traits within a population over time describe this process.
Evolution
Aquifers in underground layers store this.
Groundwater
Long-term temperature records provide evidence for this issue
Climate change/ Global Warming
The structure carrying genes inside cells is this.
Chromosomes
A species having different traits within it's population is called this.
Genetic variation
Similar DNA sequences between organisms suggest that they both descended from this.
Common Ancestor
Through heavy processing, synthetic materials are made from these.
Natural Materials
Seismographs measure seismic activity in the Earth's crust, most closely related to this natural hazard.
Earthquakes
Traits that improve survival are called these.
Adaptations
Scientists directly changing DNA are using this technology.
Genetic engineering
There are 3 types of structures studied to understand the relationship between different species--one has similar structures & indicates common ancestry, one looks similar but does not show common ancestry, and one shows evolution b/c it is not used anymore. Name each of these structures.
Homologous, Analogous, Vestigial
Oil is made through millions of years of geological processes. This means oil is a _____________ resource.
Nonrenewable
Earth's processes, like the ones that cause coal to form over millions of years, are called
Geoscience Processes
There are 3 types of structures studied to understand the relationship between different species--one has similar structures & indicates common ancestry, one looks similar but does not show common ancestry, and one shows evolution b/c it is not used anymore. Name one of these structures.
Homologous, Analogous, or Vestigial
