Weather Systems 1
It holds the ozone layer, which protects us from harmfull rays from the sun
What is the Stratosphere?
This swirling cone of wind breaks windows and lifts up cars.
What is a tornado?
This is where our our bodies push blood around the body.
What is the Circulatory System?
This organelle holds all our DNA
What is the nucleus?
The name for the physical appearance of an organism.
What is a phenotype?
Lower-case letters (i.e. aa or gg) denote this kind of allele
What is a recessive allele?
The combination of these two systems is what causes wind.
What are High and Low Pressure systems?
This can flood and damage homes due to strong winds and rain usually starting in the ocean and moving towards coastline cities.
What is a Hurricane?
This is a collection of cells inside an organ that together serve a similar function.
What is a tissue?
Cells use this organelle to engage in photosynthesis.
What is chloroplast?
A genotype with one dominant and one recessive allele.
What is a heterozygous genotype?
If a parent with the genotype aa has three kids, how many of them will have at least 1 recessive alle?
How many is three?
This is a system caused by air swirling downward and can cause storms to form.
Low pressure system
The layer where most meteors burn up when approaching the Earth.
What is the Mesosphere?
Many organs together combine to create this.
What is an organ system?
In this cell, our body breaks down sugar into ATP, which gives us energy.
What is the mitochondria?
An allele that masks another allele
What is a dominant allele?
What is 50%?
This system is most commonly associated with cool, dry air.
What is a low-pressure system?
The atmospheric layer in which we live.
What is the exosphere?
Your brain is an example of this structure in your body.
What is an organ?
This organelle is similar to a vesicle, but it stores water instead of various other materials.
What is a vacuole?
Brown eyes are an example of this kind of trait.
What is a dominant trait?
If brown eyes (B) are dominant while blue eyes (b) are recessive, then these are the odds that a blue eyed and brown eyed parent will have brown-eyed children.
*double points possible*
How does one choose between 100% and 75%?
For a tornado to form, you typically need this this kind of system at the base
What is a warm, high-pressure system?
Gasses that heat our atmosphere, which are given off by fossil fuels
What are greenhouse gasses?
From least to most complex, these are the five levels of organizing our bodies' structures.
(Hint: the third one is organ.)
What are cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and organisms?
To enter the cell, water must pass through this semipermeable membrane.
What is the cell membrane?
Parents who both have a recessive phenotype must have a child with this kind of phenotype.
What is recessive?
If yellow peas (Y) are dominant to green peas (y), and curly peas (C) are dominant to straight ones (c), then these are the odds that [straight green pea] and a [heterozygous yellow curly pea] would have a straight green child.
What is 25%?
