8th SCI Ch. 2 Vocabulary Review

However genetic traits change, the changes lead to the process of ___________________________.

Genetic traits can also be changed by selective ______________________.

Genetic traits can be changed by natural ______________________.

The production of several species from an ancestral species is called ADAPTIVE RADIATION.

PUNNETT developed genetic principles by experimenting with pea plants.

Genetic traits are formed by genes and _______________ together (creating the phenotype)

MUTATION occurs when the last individual of a species dies (E.G., when the last dinosaur died.)

A ______________________ is part of the DNA code on a chromosome.

Organisms that are better-adapted to their environment thrive and increase. This is?

The "type" word that refers to an organism's genes--its entire genetic code from its parents!

The Theory of ________ explains the change in the genetics of a species over time. (Bonus)

What are the three main ways the environment can affect traits? (3 correct!)

A(n) ADAPTIVE RADIATION is an organism with 2 different alleles for the same trait.

The appearance of an organism can be different depending on its ENVIRONMENT.

Another difference between "heredity" and "genetics" is that heredity is ______________________

All of the features an organism inherits from its parents are called its ___________________?

Which kind of allele shows itself in the phenotype whenever it is present? (Even by itself?)

Name two important things Mendel discovered with his pea plant experiments:

A boy mates male and female rabbits with fluffy tails to get fluffier rabbits. This is _______

The difference between "genetics" and "heredity" is that genetics is ________________________.

Name two living environmental factors that impact evolution.

The "type" word for the traits an organism "shows," which come from genotype plus environment.

A __________________ square shows how two parents' alleles cross in their offspring.

Name two NON-living environmental factors that impact evolution.

Genetic ___________ are formed by genes and the environment together.

Each parent passes only one GENE for a trait to its offspring.

What word means "the science that studies heredity?"

Organisms that are BETTER ADAPTED to environment survive/reproduce faster than others can.

Or, genetic traits can be changed by _______________________. (Like the X-Men.)
