Law of Dominance
Law of Segregation

Primary succession begins where there was no ecosystem and no soil such as
a severe storm
a volcanic eruption
an old farm is abandoned
a forest fire
What is a pioneer species?
Pioneer means first- so it must be the first thing to grow where nothing has grown before.
Pioneer means last -it's the last thing in an ecosystem
Pioneer has to do with covered wagons and traveling west during the 1800s.
What is a climax community?
An ecosystem that is just beginning to grow.
An ecosystem that is stable and mature and has reached the final stages of succession.
An ecosystem that is damaged by a forest fire.
An ecosystem that is damaged by a landslide.
Would occur after a wildfire, tornado or flood.
Primary Succession
Secondary Succession
Pioneer species would be weeds and grasses.

Secondary Succession
A grizzly bear survives because he is well-adapted to his environment. When he reproduces he passes on those traits to his offspring. this process is called
Natural Selection
Selective Breeding
Random mutations
Variations in a species
Where are hereditary traits stored in all organisms?
In the blood
In the brain
In the DNA
In the heart

Variations in the bacteria allowed some organisms to be less affected by the antibiotic?
Bacteria cannot be killed by antibiotics
You cannot cure a bacterial infection
Bacteria do not cause sicknesses

Which of the following is an example of natural selection?
