Diversity
This word refers to our classification system of all organisms
taxonomy (accept binomial nomenclature)
He wrote "On the Origin of Species", the foundation of evolutionary biology
Charles Darwin
It's the site of diffusion of gases and nutrients in the circulatory system
capillaries
He is credited as the 'Father of Inheritance'
Gregor Mendel
This structure in a seed will eventually grow into the root system of a plant
The radicle
This phylum contains insects, lobsters and crabs
Arthropoda
This record shows evolution of species by looking at remains burried in ancient rock. Older rocks have fewer and simpler species.
The fossil record (accept archaeology)
This is the largest blood vessel carrying deoxygenated blood.
The Vena Cava
This process involves the variation and separation of maternal and paternal chromosomes to either side of the cell in Anaphase I of meiosis.
Random (Independent) Assortment
These are the three components of the carpel
The stigma, style, and ovary
These are the four kingdoms that contain eukaryotic organisms
Protists, Fungi, Animalia and Plantae
These types of structures have no common ancestor, but share a common function, due to convergent evolution. Example: A humans hand and a lobsters claw.
Analogous structure
Secreted by the stomach and the pancreas, these two enzymes digest protein.
pepsin and trypsin
This structure is formed when two homologous chromosomes pair up in Metaphase I of meiosis
A tetrad (homologous chromosome pairs)
If you observe scattered vascular bundles in the cross section of a stem, you are looking at this type of plant
Monocot
It's the phylum and symmetry of jellyfish (need both)
cnidarians / radial symmetry
[not true] in giraffes , short necks lead to an inability to reach leaves on trees, but necks that are too long can't support the giraffes head.... what type of selection will this lead to?
Stabilizing selection
This is located between the left atria and left ventricle
The Mitral (Bicuspid) valve
This disorder can be diagnosed using a karyotype, and involves monosomy of the X chromosome
Turner syndrome
These are responsible for opening and closing stoma to allow gas exchange in plant leaves
guard cells
It's the class of organism that is multicellular, heterotrophic, motile, bilaterally symmetrical, viviparous, and placental.
mammalia
The type of speciation that occurs without geographic separation. In example, Neanderthals and Humans which coexisted for over 2000 years.
Sympatric speciation
You can find this value with a sphygmomanometer
Blood pressure
In tacos, hard shells (H) are dominant to soft shells (h), and guacamole (G) is dominant to salsa (g). On Taco Tuesday, two tacos (both HhGg) are crossed... if you eat 16 of their baby tacos, how many should have soft shells and guacamole?
3
This type of tissue is found in roots and shoots, and contains many cells undergoing rapid mitosis
meristematic tissue
