Parts of the Cell Theory
This can be found only plant cells. It is used for protection.
What is the cell wall?
All of the genetic material can be found in this location.
What is the nucleus?
These adaptations are physical features that help an organism survive.
What is structural adaptation?
This organelle converts sunlight into sugar for the plant.
What is the chloroplast?
This is the type of trait that will always appear. It can be represented by a capital letter.
What is dominant? What is the dominant gene?
Organisms have responses or actions that allow them to survive in an ecosystem.
What is behavioral adaptation?
These are the cells that other cells come from.
What are pre-existing cells?
This organelle converts sugar into energy for the cell
What is the mitochondria?
The genetic information that makes everyone different.
What is DNA?
The organisms respond to internal changes.
What is physiological adaptation?
Robert Hooke observed a piece of this material under a microscope.
What is a piece of cork?
You are given 23 of these from both parents.
What are chromosomes?
This will result in the offspring and parent having IDENTICAL genetic information.
What is Asexual Reproduction?
A drought hits an island where finches live. Only plants with hard seeds survive, so finches with larger, stronger beaks can eat and stay alive. After many generations, most finches on the island have big beaks. Name the selection.
What is natural selection?
Anton van Leeuwenhoek observed these types of cells with his microscope.
What are bacteria cells?
These are the certain sections of the DNA that will express the traits.
What is a Gene?
Both parents passing on their traits to the offspring will result in higher...
What is genetic variation?
A farmer notices some cows produce more milk than others. He breeds only those high-producing cows together. After many generations, the herd produces much more milk than before. Name the selection.
What is artificial selection?
