Mutation
What are the small sections of DNA that code for traits called?
Genes
What do you call a trait/egenskaper that increases an organism’s chance of surviving, mating, and reproducing?
An adaptation
What did birds evolve from?
Dinosaurs
The name for this genotype: AA
Homozygous Dominant
The passing of genes/traits from one generation to another
Heredity
Why do humans have a pair of each chromosome?
You receive one of each chromosome from your mother and father.
What are the 4 aspects (parts) of evolution?
Heredity, Time, Variation, Natural Selection
How did the earth get oxygen?
From chloroplasts doing photosynthesis
Can two heterozygous parents have a homozygous recessive child? Explain
Yes, if both parents provide a copy of their lower case allele.
Differences in the genetic makeup and traits of individuals in a population
Variation
When a bunch of ______ are attached together they create a trait
What type of evidence for evolution is this?
Comparitive Anatomy
Put the following 4 things in order of evolution:
- amino acids
- DNA
- Proteins

amino acids, RNA, DNA, Proteins
A father does not have dimples, which is recessive. His wife has dimples, which is dominant. What is the probability of them having a child with dimples? Draw a Punnett square to explain your answer.
Father is rr, mother could be Rr or RR. If Rr, 75% chance, if RR, 100% chance of dimples
What is the name of the rule that explains that A-T form a bond, as well as C-G?
Complementary base pairing
What are the four types of evidence for evolution?
Fossil records (intermediate species), DNA Comparison, Comparative Anatomy, Embryos and Development
What were the four simple chemicals found in primitive (early) earth?
Water (H2O), Hydrogen Gas (H2), Nitrogen Gas (N2), Methane (CH4)
Brown eyes in humans are dominant to blue eyes. A brown-eyed man, whose mother was blue-eyed, marries a blue-eyed woman whose father had brown eyes. What is the probability that this couple will have a blue-eyed child?
50% chance of a blue eyed child.
Father: Must be Bb
Mother: Must be bb
Complete a Punnett square to cross Bb x bb, and there will be a 50% chance of bb (blue eyes).
