Taxonomy
What are all the classifications
Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Order, Family, Genus, Species
What is coevolution
When organisms evolve in response to each other
What is the "Red Queen Theory"
The idea that to survive, organisms need to constantly evolve and adapt in response to their environment
What is natural selection
The process of organisms with better fitness passing on adaptations and thus offspring gaining adaptations over time
Why is sexual reproduction benefitial
It results in genetic diversity, which means that organisms can evolve in response to their environment
How to format [genus species]
Genus species or underlined if written
What is mutualism
When 2 organisms benefit from each other
What is an adaptation
Any trait that helps an organism survive in its environment
Can humans effect how species evolve
Yes, elephants lost their tusks from humans doing excessive hunting for ivory
What is the half-life of C14
5,730 years
Who is the grandfather of binomial nomenclature
Carl Linnaeus
What is parasitism
When one organism benefits to another's detriment
What is a niche
How an animal survives in its habitat
What is homologous structure
A feature that descendants from a common ancestor evolve into different traits for different purposes
What is the magnification of objective lens 40x and ocular lens 10x
400x
What are all Domains
Archaea, Bacteria, Eukarya
What is commensalism
When one organism benefits while another is not effected well or poorly
What is a habitat
Where an animal lives
What are analogous structures
How much energy in % is transferred between trophic levels
10%
What are all Kingdoms
Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia
When humans migrated, what was the last place they went
South America
The venom made in snakes is an example of what type of adpatation
Physiological adaptation, it is in the body of the snake
If a habitat is green grass, what bug would have more fitness, a green beetle or a red beetle
The green beetle because it blends into the habitat, meaning it will survive more and be able to have more offspring, so it has higher fitness
What is the output of light-dependent reactions, the output that is not used in light-independent reactions
Oxygen
