Reproduction
In this basic process, molecules naturally move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until they are spread out evenly
What is diffusion
Which is the genotype? Tt or tall
What is Tt?
The most basic unit of life
What is a cell?
In this process, individuals with traits that help them survive and reproduce are more likely to pass those traits on to the next generation
What is natural selection?
Offspring inherit characteristics from parents. If one offspring inherited a mixed set of alleles, this description would be used.
What is heterozygous?
A group of similar organs performing a necessary function for a multicellular organism
What is an organ system?
A polar bear's white fur or a bird's hollow bones are examples of this—a inherited trait that helps an organism survive in its specific environment. What is natural selection?
What is an adaptation?
True or False Most fungi reproduce asexually, sexually, and by budding.
What is true?
This system removes liquid wastes from the body by filtering the blood in the kidneys.
What is the urinary/excretory system?
While the chloroplast handles photosynthesis, this organelle is responsible for cellular respiration, where it breaks down nutrients to create energy for the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
Two homozygous dominant organisms had offspring. Describe the chances that their offspring would have the recessive trait.
What is 0% (none)?
All together the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries work to distribute the blood throughout the body. Therefore as a group, they make up a(n) _____________.
What is an organ system?
The placement of preserved organisms in different layers of rock formation that gives evidence to support the theory of evolution is known as ___________.
What is the fossil record?
Hormones needed by the body to carry out various functions are produced by this body system; examples organs include the pituitary and the pancreas
What is the endocrine system?
What is the main function of the chloroplasts in plant cells?
What is to produce glucose?
In a species of butterflies, green wing color is dominant over white. Two heterozygous green wing butterflies mated. Describe the chances their offspring will have white wings.
What is 1 out of 4 (25%)?
A set of cells in a gland all produce the same toxin. These cells make up a ________.
What is a tissue?
The basis for the modern theory of evolution was proposed by __________.
Who is Charles Darwin?
This type of reproduction results in the MOST diverse organisms because offspring share characteristics of both parents
What is sexual reproduction?
These two systems work together to remove gaseous wastes from the body.
What are the circulatory and respiratory systems?
While plants use a chemical reaction to create C6H12O6, animal cells use this oxygen-consuming process to break that formula down into usable energy, CO2, and water.
What is cellular respiration?
Diseases such as sickle cell anemia and cystic fibrosis can be passed from parents to offspring. Those affected with such illnesses inherit this kind of allele from BOTH parents.
What is recessive?
Sexual reproduction is possible because of the different reproductive systems in males and females. Ovaries in females and testes in males are known as _______.
What are organs?
A human's arm, a cat's leg, and a whale's flipper all share a similar bone structure; scientists call these 'this' type of structures, proving they shared a common ancestor.
What are homologous structures?
