Matter & Chemistry Basics
This type of mixture is uniform throughout, like saltwater.
What is a homogeneous mixture?
Offspring from this type of reproduction are genetically identical to the parent.
What is asexual reproduction?
This type of behavior is inborn and performed correctly the first time.
What is an instinct?
This plant hormone speeds up cell growth and controls phototropism.
What is auxin?
This event marked the beginning of revelation when Angel Jibreel first came to the Prophet ﷺ.
What is the Revelation in the Cave of Hira?
This process is used to find the volume of irregular objects.
What is water displacement?
These are different forms of the same gene.
What are alleles?
Male peacocks spreading their feathers is an example of this reproductive behavior.
What is courtship?
Roots growing downward due to gravity is an example of this tropism.
What is positive gravitropism?
This early group of Muslims migrated to a Christian kingdom ruled by a just king to escape persecution.
What is the First Migration to Abyssinia?
According to this law, temperature ↑ → volume ↑.
What is Charles’s Law?
A trait controlled by more than one gene, such as skin color or height.
What is polygenic inheritance?
In this mating system, one male mates with multiple females.
What is polygyny?
This process describes animals undergoing major body changes, like a butterfly’s life cycle.
What is metamorphosis?
This year—marked by the deaths of Khadijah (RA) and Abu Talib—is known in the Seerah as what?
What is the Year of Sorrow?
A reaction where two or more substances combine into one (A + B → AB).
What is a synthesis reaction?
In this inheritance pattern, both alleles are expressed without blending, such as roan cattle.
What is codominance?
This survival curve is associated with species with high parental care, like elephants.
What is Type I?
Name one internal and one external factor that affects animal growth.
What are examples like genes or hormones (internal) and nutrition, disease, or space (external)?
This miraculous journey took the Prophet ﷺ from Makkah to Jerusalem, then through the heavens.
What is Al-Israa wal-Mi’raj
Name two ways to separate mixtures and explain why they work.
What are methods such as filtration (separates by particle size), magnetism (separates magnetic components), or evaporation (separates dissolved solids by removing the solvent)?
how fertilization occurs in nonvascular plants (like mosses)
Sperm swim through water to reach the egg,
Fertilization forms a sporophyte that grows from the gametophyte?
Explain how territoriality increases reproductive success.
What is: defending a territory limits competition, providing better access to mates and resources?
Compare external egg development vs. internal placental development in animals.
External eggs develop outside the mother, using nutrients from the yolk (fish, reptiles, birds).
Placental development happens inside the mother; nutrients and oxygen come through the placenta (mammals).
Name the two pledges in which the people of Yathrib (Medina) secretly met with the Prophet ﷺ and agreed to support him, ultimately leading to the Hijrah.
