Genetics
A gene that has more than two possible alleles.
What is multiple alleles?
Three ways you can limit the spread of germs.
What is hand washing, eating balanced diet, exercise, vaccinate, cover cough/sneeze?
Define xylem.
What is carries water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant?
Two characteristics all invertebrates have in common.
What is ectothermic and don't have a backbone?
Three functions of the skeletal system.
What is support AND movement, blood cell production, mineral storage, protection?
Two traits produce a blended phenotype. Give example.
What is incomplete dominance? Example - a red and a white flower produce pink offspring.
Process by which bacteria reproduce.
Define phloem.
What is transportation for sugar from the leaves to the rest of the plant?
Three characteristics used to classify animals.
What is symmetry, cephalization, presence of a backbone, and guts?
List the structures air passes through as you inhale in order starting with the nasal cavity.
What is
1. nasal cavity
2. larynx
3. trachea
3. bronchi
4. alveoli
Both traits are present in hybrid offspring, but without blending. Give an example.
What is codominance? Example - a black and a white chicken produces black/white speckled offspring.
Define latent virus. Give an example.
A virus that lives in the host cell and reproduces without bursting and infecting the host. Example - cold sore
Three main parts of a plant.
What are roots, stems, leaves?
Explain the three types of symmetry.
Asymmetry means no symmetry. Bilateral symmetry is that can be divided in two equal halves. Radial symmetry can be divided in several halves.
Two main types of muscle.
What is involuntary and voluntary?
Define genotype and phenotype.
What is genotype is the letters representing genes and phenotype is the physical representation of the genes?
Explain how we know bacteria was not harmful when it was created by God.
When God completed creation he said "It is good" Death and sickness are a result of the Fall.
Define angiosperm. Give an example.
What is seed bearing vascular plant with fully covered seeds that produces flowers? Example - apple tree
How are marsupials and monotremes different from other mammals? Give examples of each.
Marsupials carry their young in a pouch to develop. - Koala, kangaroo, oppossum. Monotremes lay eggs. echidna, platypus.
Three types of blood vessels and their functions.
What is artery - carry blood Away from the heart, vein - returns blood to heart and capillary - connects arteries to veins?
Explain the difference between natural selection and genetic drift.
Define Active virus.
Virus that uses host cell to reproduce then burst and infect other host cells
Define gymnosperm.
What is seed bearing vascular plant that with partially covered seeds and produces cones?
Define cephalization.
Process that pushes food through the alimentary canal.
What is peristalsis?
