| 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 |
Beef Production
