Question | Answer |
Genetics | the study of inheritance of traits |
taxonomy | giving things a new name/classifying |
evolution | changing to adapt to an enviorment |
ecology | organisms as they live in their environment |
paleontology | study of fossils |
cytology | study of cells |
eutomology | study of insects |
physiology | study of the organs doing work |
morphology | study of outside organs |
anatomy | study of organs |
mammalogy | animals |
ornithology | study of birds |
herpetology | study of reptiles and amphibians |
ichthyology | study of fish |
monera | ex: bacterium, #Cells: unicellular, mode feeding: heterotrophic, mode of reproduction: asexual, type of cells: proka |
protista | ex: amoeba, paramecium #Cells: unicellular, mode feeding: heterotrophic, mode of reproduction: asexual, type of cells: eukaryotic |
Fungi | ex: , #Cells: , mode feeding: , mode of reproduction: , type of cells: |
plantae | ex: sunflower, #Cells:uni , mode feeding: hetero , mode of reproduction: asexual , type of cells: eukaryotic |
animalia | ex: pig , #Cells:multi , mode feeding: hetero , mode of reproduction: sexual , type of cells:eukaryotic |
n1 | number of animals initially captured and marked |
n2 | number of animals subsequently captured |
n3 | number of recaptures that were marked |
what are the five assumptions that would cause the method to fail if they were not true | 1. may catch same organism
2. organisms will avoid traps
3. conditions expected to be constant but have no control over
4. assume organisms don't die
5.assume organisms don't migrate |
Where were fossils usually found? | -sedimentary rocks formed near water
-igneous rock near volcanoes
-metamorphic rocks created by pressure |
homologous organs | same organs different use
ex: birds wings, insect wings |
analogous organs | same use different organs
ex: birds wing, insect wing |
embryos | time of life between zygo and fetus |
implications of phylogeny | see more common traits in Embryos than adults |
what are vestigial organs | organs that are wasting away along time from lack of use |
geography | distribution of resources and how we use them |
biogeography | animals and their resources |
divergent evolution | two similar species become different over time |
convergent evolution | unrelated organisms acquire or evolve similar structures as an adaptation to particular environmental conditions. |
