Genetics
The process that allows a cell to divide into two identical daughter cells
What is Mitosis?
The letters that represent the DNA sequence
What is the Genotype?
A mechanism of evolution
The process of humans choosing which organisms reproduce to pass on specific traits
What is Artificial Selection?
the remains or impression of a prehistoric organism preserved in petrified form or as a mold or cast in rock.
What is a Fossil?
The process in which a single cell divides twice to form four haploid daughter cells.
What is Meiosis?
The traits inherited from the parents
What is the Phenotype?
The seasonal movement of animals from one habitat to another in search of food, better conditions, or reproductive needs.
What is Migration?
A plant, animal or microbe in which one or more changes have been made to the genome, typically using high-tech genetic engineering, in an attempt to alter the characteristics of an organism.
What is a GMO?
Preserved remains of organisms
What are Body fossils?
The type of cell division that produces gametes
What is Meiosis?
The same inherited genes from your parent. (AA,aa)
What is Homozygous?
A permanent change in the DNA sequence of an organism.
The practice of breeding organisms with desired traits to create offspring with those same trait
What is Selective Breeding?
Evidence of past life, like burrows or footprints
What are trace fossils?
The cell's "Control Center"
Having two different versions of the same gene (Bb,bB)
What is Heterozygous?
The change in frequency of an existing gene variant in the population due to random chance.
What is Genetic Drift?
A technique that uses a genes to treat, prevent or cure a disease or medical disorder.
What is Gene Therapy?
Sediment layers are formed in order of formation so that the layer at the bottom is oldest and the top layer is youngest.
What is law of superposition?
The Powerhouse of the cell
What is the Mitochondria?
A trait that is expressed only when the Genotype is homozygous
The process by which the heritable characteristics of a population of organisms change over successive generations
What is Evolve?
A biological process that creates a genetic copy of a cell, tissue, or organism.
What is Cloning?
the actual age of a rock or fossil, measured in years, determined using methods like radiometric dating, which analyzes the decay of radioactive elements.
What is the absolute age of rocks and fossils?
