Question
Answer
show states that all living things come from other living things.  
🗑
show living things arise from nonliving things in a process  
🗑
radiometric dating   show
🗑
isotopes   show
🗑
mass number   show
🗑
show the disintegration of an unstable atomic nucleus into one or more different nuclides, accompanied by the emission of radiation, the nuclear capture or ejection of electrons, or fission  
🗑
radioactive isotopes   show
🗑
show the length of time it takes for one-half of any size sample of an isotopeto decay to a stable form  
🗑
microspheres   show
🗑
show collections of droplets that are composed of molecules of different types, including lipids, amido acids and sugars  
🗑
show an RNA molecule that can act as a catalysst and promote a specific chemical reaction. Thomas Cech used this  
🗑
archaea   show
🗑
chemosynthesis   show
🗑
show a bacterium that can carry out photosynthesis, such as a blue-green alga  
🗑
show a gas molecule that is made up of three oxygen atoms  
🗑
show a mutually beneficial relationship in which one organism lives within another  
🗑
show the development of new types of organisms from preexisting types of organisms over tim. Modern scientists define it as a heritable change in the characteristics within a population from one generation to the next.  
🗑

🗑
natural selection   show
🗑
show more offspring can be produced than can survive to maturity  
🗑
genetic variation   show
🗑
show individuals must compete with each other  
🗑

🗑
show its age compared to that of another fossils by referring to the geologic time scale and to records of known fossils  
🗑
show the numeric age of an object or event, often stated in years before the present, as established by an absolute-dating process, such as radiometric dating  
🗑
show the study of the locations of organisms around the world  
🗑
show anatomical structures that occur in different species and that originated by heredity from a structure in the most recent common ancestor of the species  
🗑
analogous structures   show
🗑
show a structure in an organism that is reduced in size and function and that may have been complete and functional in the organism's ancestors  
🗑
show the relationships by ancestry amonng groups of organsims  
🗑
show the process by which different species evolve similar traits  
🗑
show a process in which the descendants of a single ancestor diversify into species tha teach fit different parts of the environment  
🗑
adaptive readiation   show
🗑
artificial selection   show
🗑
show when two or more species have evolved adaptations to each other's influence  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
