Chapter 1: Evolution, Themes of Biology and Scientific Inquiry

Eukaryotic

________ is a "true nucleus / "have a true nucleus and has organelles.

Unequal Reproductive Success

________- some individuals will leave MORE offspring than others.

Natural selection

________- "pick /choose by environment who survives.

Evolution

________ is the process of change that has transformed life on Earth.

Hypothesis

________ is an educated guess, testable.

chain

Each ________ is made up of building blocks called nucleotides which are A, G, C, and T.

Form

________ fits function "is the shape of something is going to determine what is does, and if you figure out what it does, you figure out what it looks like.

Darwin

________ said that an ancestral species can give rise to two or more descendant species which is illustrated in a treelike diagram.

Humans

________ over 150 years burned fossil fuels that released carbon dioxide which lead to global warming and is one aspect of climate change.

Protist

________ are algae, amoeba, paramecium.

Prokaryotic

________ is the "before nucleus / "lack a nucleus (Bacteria and Archaea), simpler and smaller with no organelles.

zygote

Fertilized egg is called a(n) ________.

DNA molecule

________ is in the form of a double helix.

DNA

________ is copied into RNA by a process called transcription.

Ecosystems

________ are living and non- living things.

Cells

________ have a membrane that pick and choose which materials enter and exit.

C

The sequence of the A, G, ________, T nucleotides are instructions to building a protein.

Bacteria & Archaea

________ (Prokaryote), and Eukarya (Eukaryote) are the three domains of life.

dependent variable

The ________ is the thing that is being measured.

Adaptation

________ is a trait to help survive /reproduce.

Plants

________ are producers.

Protists

________ are eukaryotes that are not plant /animal or fungus.

Humans

________ contain 23 pairs of chromosome, with a total of 46 chromosomes.

Darwin

________ observed population differences in their traits which many seem to be heritable (passed down)

Cells

________ contain chromosomes which contains DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)

Cell

________ is the simplest living thing.

Example

The color of the beach mouse has come to be well adapted to its local background

Example

If something can fly, it would have wings

The Cell

An Organisms Basic Unit of Structure and Function

Producers

convert sunlight  into food (chemical energy)

"Descent with modification"

change over time/generations

"Natural selection"

pick/choose by environment who survives

Example

(birds) beak, feathers, wings, claws, no teeth, lay eggs

Example

(birds) mobility, environment, color, shape, size

Unequal Reproductive Success

some individuals will leave MORE offspring than others

Example

Bat wings are an example of adaption
