Question | Answer |
traits that are passed from parents to offspring because they are at least partially determined by genes | heredity |
created laws of inheritance - an austrian monk | Gregor Mendel |
the of segregation of characteristics - a pair of characteristics only can be represented in a gamete | law of inheritence - first law |
the law of independent assortment - if you had a genotype AaBb you would make four kinds of gametes: they would contain the cominations of either AB, Ab, aB, or ab. | laws of inheritance - second law |
a form of cell division in which one cell divides into two daugher cells, each of which has the same genetic content as the original cell | mitosis |
a form of cell division in which one diploid cell divides to produce four haploid daugher cells | meiosis |
the series fo changes that the members of a species undergo as they pass from the beginning of a given development stage to the inception of that same developmental stage in a subsequent generation | life cycles |
changes to the nucleotide sequence of the genetic material of an organism. | mutations |
a process by which the genetic information of an organism is changed in a stable manner, either in nature or experimentally by the use of chemicals or radiation | mutagenesis |
an evolved trait that makes organisms more suited to living and reproducing in their environments | adaptation |
organisms with heritable, advantageous traits leave more offspring than organisms with other traits, causing advantageous traits to become more common in populations over time | natural selection |
what Darwin called evolution | descent with modification |
heritable changes in living organisms over time | evolution |
evolution is also evident in living creatures themselves, in the form of a shared anatomy, shared patterns of development, and shared DNA sequences. in rocks - fossils | evidence of evolution |
