Approximately how old is the Earth?
What is 4.5 to 4.6 BILLION years old?
Where are all your genes found? This is the code for all your traits.
What is in the DNA?
*Which is in the nucleus of the cell.
What does GMO stand for?
What is genetically modified organism?
What is 1 parent organism?
What was the name of the supercontinent that was mentioned in the continental drift theory?
What is PANGEA?
True or False: Plate tectonic theory proved Continental Drift theory false and replaced it.
*The theory of continental drift explains why similar fossils were found on different continents. The Plate Tectonic theory better explains how continents were able to move.
What are HOMOZYGOUS alleles?
What is two of the same alleles?
mm or MM
True or False: Selective breeding cannot be used to improve the traits of crops.
What is False?
Selective breeding can combine traits to produce higher quality crops. There are many ways this can be done.
What cells undergo mitosis? *Don't be specific.*
What is body cells?
Give ANY example of a piece of QUANTITATIVE data.
Answers vary. Numerical value included.
What is the Law of Superposition and how does it help geologist?
What is that older rocks are found below younger rocks. Geologist use this to date rocks.
*HOWEVER it DOES NOT give an exact date like radioactive dating does.
If two homozygous dominant parents produce offspring, what percent chance is there for having a heterozygous offspring?
What is 0%?
True or False: GE salmon breeding with Native/Natural salmon causes concern for the environment.
What is True?
Organisms that reproduce asexually, go through which type of cell process?
What is mitosis?
When is Ms. Farmer's birthday?
What is August 4th baby!!!!!!?
Name the three steps it takes to solve for radioactive decay. HINT: Radioactive dating gives more exact dating using half lives.
What is
- What percent of the element is known.
- How many half lives result from that percentage.
-Multiply the number of half-lives that is by the know half life.
When creating a Punnett square, all four squares contained "Ff". One parent had an allele pair "ff". What was the allele pair of the second parent?
What is FF?
Which of he following could NOT be genetically modified?
-a disease
-a piece of mulch
-an egg cell
-bacteria
What is a piece of mulch?
*Each of the other options had living cells. Mulch is an inorganic compound meaning it is not alive.
Which cell process gives us genetic variation?
What is meiosis?
Which variable in an experiment is the one you change?
What is the independent variable?
If there are fossils from 30 million years ago that resemble camels, lizards and coyotes, what would the climate of the Earth be at that time?
HINT: What were the summers like, winters like, spring and fall too.
What is very dry and warm climate? What is not a lot of changes in seasons (warm winters, low precipitation in spring, etc.)?
What is each parent carried a recessive allele?
What type of animal was first cloned? To receive points for this question you need:
-animal species
-the animals name
-number of tries it took
What is a sheep named Dolly which took 276 tries?
What is the end goal for DNA that has gone through mitosis?
What is an exact duplicate of DNA?
What is the difference between a scientific theory and scientific law?1 Give an example of each2 and what they mean3. YOU NEED ALL OF THOSE TO GET THE POINTS
