BIO EOC REVIEW DAY 10

What is overfishing?

Back

Overfishing is the practice of catching fish at a rate faster than they can reproduce, leading to a decline in fish populations.

Front

How does overfishing affect ecosystem stability?

Back

Overfishing decreases the stability of the ecosystem by disrupting food chains, as it removes key species that other organisms depend on.

Front

What is a genotype?

Back

A genotype is the genetic constitution of an individual, represented by the alleles inherited from its parents.

Front

What does incomplete dominance mean in genetics?

Back

Incomplete dominance is a genetic situation in which one allele does not completely dominate another allele, resulting in a phenotype that is a blend of both.

Front

What is the expected phenotype ratio from a cross of two heterozygous snapdragons (Rr x Rr)?

Back

The expected phenotype ratio is 1 red: 2 pink: 1 white, meaning 50% of the offspring will be pink.

Front

What are non-native species?

Back

Non-native species are organisms that are introduced to a new environment where they do not naturally occur, often leading to ecological imbalances.

Front

Why might governments regulate the introduction of non-native insects?

Back

Governments may regulate non-native insects to prevent ecological disruption, as these insects may not have natural predators in the new environment.

Front

What is the importance of water for living organisms?

Back

Water is essential for life as it helps maintain a constant internal environment within cells and is involved in many biochemical processes.

Front

What property of water allows it to moderate temperature?

Back

The high specific heat capacity of water allows it to absorb and release heat without significant changes in temperature.

Front

What is a food chain?

Back

A food chain is a linear sequence of organisms through which nutrients and energy pass as one organism eats another.
