What are genotypes and phenotypes?
genotypes=letter combinations
phenotypes=physical traits
What does embryology support about organisms?
They might share a common ancestor
What are some examples of recharging and discharging the water table?
recharging=anything that adds to the water table
discharging=anything that removes from the water table
What are the names of the four eras and what happened at each one?
Precambrian=basic life
Paleozoic=Pangea formed
Mesozoic=dinosaurs
Cenozoic=Large mammals and humans
If you increase the wavelength, what happens to the frequency?
frequency decreases
What is mean if the letters are dominant and recessive?
What does it mean if something is homozygous and heterozygous?
dominant=capital letter
recessive=lowercase letter
homozygous=letters same
heterozygous=letters different
What is speciation and give me a example of how it can happen for organisms?
answers will vary
What is an aquifer and watershed?
If precipitation is greater than evaporation is that beneficial or harmful to groundwater?
aquifer=body of rock that can store ground water
Watershed=area of land that is drained by a river system
-Beneficial
Where can you find convection currents in the Earth?
What process forms new crust?
What is it called when the heavy plate goes down and the lighter plate goes up when the plates collide?
Mantle
Seafloor Spreading
Subduction
What are the colors of visible light in order of weakest energy to greatest energy?

25%
What is homologous, analogous, and vestigial structures?
homologous=same structure different function
analogous=different structure same function
vestigial=structure that has lost function
Give me the 5 types of renewable and 4 types of nonrenewable resources.
renewable=solar,wind,water,geothermal,biomass
nonrenewable=coal,oil,natural gas, and nuclear
Difference between relative and absolute age dating.
If something is cutting into a rock layer, which is younger the rock layer or the thing doing the cutting?
relative=youngest on top and oldest on bottom
absolute=exact age
Layer doing the cutting

fission,budding,regeneration/fragmentation,vegetative reproduction,cloning
How many chromosomes do you start and end with in mitosis and meiosis?
mitosis=46 to 46
meiosis=46 to 23
What is the difference between constructive and destructive forces?
Which force or both forces are erosion, deposition, volcano, weathering, and water
constructive=building
destructive=breaking
erosion=both; water=both; deposition=constructive; volcano=constructive; weathering=destructive
How does each of the 5 rock type forms?
How do each of the plate boundaries move and give me an example of each?
igneous=heating and cooling
magma=melting
metamorphic=heat and pressure
sedimentary=compaction and cementation
sediments=weathering and erosion
convergent=together;mountains
divergent=away;volcanos
transform=slide past;earthquakes
What is a mechanical and electromagnetic wave?
Which one needs a medium?
Give me an example of each.
mechanical=needs a medium and moves perpendicular/right angles
electromagnetic=no medium needed and moves parallel
How many cells does mitosis and meiosis start and end with? What are the 4 phases of these cell divisions?
Mitosis=1 to 2
Meiosis=1 to 4
PMAT=Prophase,Metaphase,Anaphase,Telophase
