What is the skull?
When two air masses meet but neither is strong enough to replace the other, this type of front forms.
What is a stationary front?
This is the process by which liquid water turns into an invisible gas called water vapor due to heating.
What is evaporation?
This graphic tool is used by scientists to predict the potential genotypes and phenotypes of offspring from a genetic cross.
What is a Punnett Square?
This is the charge of a neutron.
What is neutral (or zero)?
This is the largest bone in the human body, connecting the hip to the knee.
What is the femur?
This type of front is represented by a purple line with both triangles and semi-circles.

What are melting point or boiling point?
These bands of connective tissue connect bone to bone at a joint.
What are ligaments?
When a cold front passes, the wind typically shifts from the south to this direction, bringing cooler, clearer air.
What is North (or West)?
The specific temperature to which air must be cooled in order to reach saturation.
What is the dew point?
True or False: A person with a genetic mutation is always considered to have a genetic disease.
False.
This molecule has two unpaired electrons in its anti-bonding orbitals, causing it to be attracted to a magnetic field.
What is Oxygen?
This organ lies behind the stomach and makes digestive enzymes and hormones that regulate sugar levels.
What is the pancreas?
This is the term for a boundary where two different air masses meet.
