heredity
The physical characteristics studied in genetics
what is traits
The rigid outer layer of the Earth, broken into plates, consisting of the crust and upper mantle.
what is lithospere
he developed the theory of realitivity
who is Albert Ienstine
The inner part of an atom that contains the proton and the neutron

On the moon, a feather and a bowling ball dropped from the same height at the same time will hit the ground at the same time, because this is missing.
what is gravity
The passing of genetic instructions (traits) from parent to offspring

The plastic-like, flowing layer beneath the lithosphere that allows plates to move.
what is asthenosphere
famous for revolutionizing science through his laws of motion and universal gravitation
who is Issac Newton
These particles have a positive charge and are found inside the nucleus.
what is protons
The rate at which an object changes its position.
what is velocity
The study of heredity
what is genetics

famous for developing the theory of evolution by natural selection
who is Charles Darwin
Negatively charged particles found orbiting the nucleus
what is electrons
This law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
what is newtons third law
Thread-like molecules in the cell nucleus that carry hereditary information.
what is chromosomes
This layer makes up the majority of Earth's volume and is characterized by convection currents.
what is mantle
physicist and chemist who discovered radioactivity (a term she coined), discovered the elements polonium and radium, and developed methods to isolate radioactive isotopes.

Atoms of the same element with varying numbers of neutrons
what is isotopes
A push or pull exerted on an object, measured in Newtons.
what is a force
The genetic makeup of an organism
what is genotype
Type of boundary where two plates move apart, often creating mid-ocean ridges.
