| Father of Evolution | Charles Darwin |
| survival of the fittest or best adaptated survive to reproduce | Natural Selection |
| When a farmer picks the best crops or animals to breed in order to get offspring with the wanted characteristics | Artificial Selection |
| When one species evolves or changes into more than one species | Speciation |
| When a physical barrier separates two organisms and they eventually evolve into two species (one type of speciation) | Geographic Isolation |
| When two organisms are separated due to the time the organism mates, which eventually will result in the evolution of two species (one type of speciation) | Reproductive Isolation |
| Two types of speciation | Reproductive and Geographic Isolation |
| Compares the embryos of two organisms to see how genetically similar they are | Embryology |
| Compares the structure of organisms to compare the similiarities | Anatomy |
| Compares the chemical makeup of two organsims to see similarities | Biochemistry |
| Same structure, different function | Homologous Structure |
| same function, different structure | Analogous Structure |
| Structure inherited from the parents of the offspring, but often unused | Vestigial Structure |
| Type of structure that is seen when comparing a bird wing and a bee wing | Analogous structure |
| Type of structure that is seen when comparing a whale fin to a human arm | Homologous Structure |
| Type of structure defined by the human appendix, a hipbone on a snake, or eyes on a blind mole rat | Vestigial Structure |
| When examining a fossil record, where is the oldest fossil | the bottom of the sample |
| List the levels of classification from BROAD to SPECIFIC | Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species |
| In the levels of classification, what is the level that comes right after class | Order |
| In the levels of classification, which to levels are used in binomial nomenclatures? | Genus and Species |
| In the levels of classification, what are the two levels that are used in the scientific name? | Genus and species |
| In a scientific name, which part come first? | Genus |
| In the scientific name, what must be done to the genus part? | First, capitalized, underline or italized. It can also be abbreviated to one letter. |
| When writing the species portion of the scientific name, what do you need to remember? | Second word, lower case. |
| If two organisms have the same order, what other levels are classification are the same? | Everything before it (Class, Phylum, Kingdom |
| A type of cell that does NOT contain a true nucleus | Prokaryotic Cell |
| All the kingdoms that have prokaryotic cells | Eubacteria and Archaebacteria |
| Type of cell that has a true nucleus and organelles | Eukaryotic |
| All the kingdoms that are eukaryotic | Everything but bacteria ( Fungus, Protist, Plants, Animals) |
| Name of an organims that has the ability to produce its own food | Autotroph |
| Type of organism that can not make its own food, it must comsume food for nutrients | Heterotroph |
| All the kingdoms that can be heterotrophic | Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Fungus, Protist, Animals |
| How many words are there in binomial nomenclature? | Two |
| What is the first word in the scientific name? | Genus |
| What is the second part to the scientific name? | Species |
| What is the Genus name of an orgnaism whoes scientific name is Meleca hornis | Meleca |
| Two main parts of most viruses | Core and capsid |
| Part of a virus that is usually made of protein | Capsid |
| Is a virus living or nonliving? | Nonliving, it must have a host to replicate |
| What do viruses lack that make them nonliving? | They cannot reproduce on their own, they must have a host |
| a cell which the virus uses to replicate | host cell |
| What is the first two steps of both the lytic and lysogentic cycles of viruses | attach and inject nucleic acid |
| injection of a weakend form of a virus that causes your body to produce antibodies to form immunity | vaccination |
| Medications that can be used to treat a bacterial infection | antibiotics |
| Variable in an experimant that the experimentor has control over | independent |
| Variable that the experimentor is looking for, the result of the experiment | Dependent |
| How do you know how well an antibiotic is working when growing bacteria in a petri dish? | The larger the clear zone around the antibiotic disk, the less bacteria growth |
| Name of organisms that break down dead organic matter | Decomposer |
| Purpose of bacteria living on the roots of plants to take nitrogen from the atmosphere and change it into a form that the plant can absorb | Nitrogen Fixation |
| Kingdom of bacteria that can live in exterme environments | Archaebacteria |
| Kingdom of bacteria that live in common environments | Eubacteria |
| Four advantages of bacteria ( How are they helpful?) | Decomposers, Food production, Medicine production, and Nitrogen Fixation |
| Living environment of most protist | Moist or watery |
| Type of protist that uses a pseudopod to move ( a pseudopod is a false foot) | Ameoba |
| Type of protist that uses cilia to move | Paramecium |
| Long, whip-like appendage on some organisms that help them move | Flagella |
| Short, hair-like projections used by some organisms to move | Cilia or pillus |
| Type of protist that uses a flagella to move | Euglena |
| List some examples of Fungus | Mushrooms, puffball, atheletes foot, yeast |
| How do fungus get their food? | Heterotrophs that uses enzymes to breakdown the food and then absorb it |
