All forms of asexual reproduction use _________________ to grow new cells and organisms.

In the diagram below, which part of the diagram represents the asexual reproduction part of the cycle?

process in sexual reproduction in which male and female reproductive cells join to form a new cell

the process whereby seeds or spores sprout and begin to grow

the process of producing offspring

When compared to organisms that utilize process A, organisms that utilize process B would most likely produce offspring with

One of the largest and oldest organisms on Earth is located in Fishlake National Forest in Utah. Pando is an 80,000-year-old grove of aspen trees that covers 100 acres. Although it looks like a forest, DNA analysis of several of the “trees” has confirmed it is really just one huge organism. Therefore, the “trees” must have been reproduced

A human cell that contains all of the information necessary for the growth and development of a complete organism is

Sexual reproduction requires _____ parent(s) and asexual reproduction requires ___ parent(s).

Mitosis (asexual reproduction) results in genetically _________ offspring.

What is mitosis used for in the body?

Bacteria (prokaryotic) organisms reproduce by

Meiosis results in genetically ____________ offspring.

A human sex cell (such as an egg cell or sperm cell) has just been made in meiosis. How many chromosomes should it have? (hint: a normal human body cell has 46 chromosomes).

The lion (Pantera leo) has 19 chromosomes in its gametes (sex cells). How many chromosomes are in its body cells?

The sugar glider (Petaurus breviceps) has 22 chromosomes in its body cell. How many chromosomes are in its gametes (sex cells)?

In meiosis, _________ occurs which rearranges the genes on the chromosomes.

Meiosis is responsible for creating what cells in organisms?

Clones have the exact same:

What is the best definition of animal adaptation?

True or false: All animals have adaptations that help them survive in their habitat.

Fill in the blanks: A _________ adaptation is the way an animal acts in order to help them survive.

The black bear’s primary diet is fruit, nuts, honey, and berries. However, they also like to eat fish and small mammals. Their long, sharp claws make it possible to climb trees in order to reach some of their food sources. Black bears also have an extremely good sense of smell. Their long nose allows them to smell up to 20 miles away. This is 100 times better than humans can smell. The black bear’s tongue is sticky allowing them to easily eat ants, berries, and nuts. Black bears also have extremely strong legs, allowing them to move rocks and other obstacles out of their way to get to their food. SELECT ONE EXAMPLE OF THE PHYSICAL ADAPTATIONS LISTED ABOVE.

I am a grey goose who loves to fly. Every fall when it starts to get cold, I fly south for the warmth. Once my home warms up, I know it is safe to go back home. What adaptation is this?

It is an example of an learned adaptation.

The Venus flytrap plant lives in soil with few nutrients. The plant absorbs nutrients by trapping insects inside its leaves.

The ability of the Venus flytrap to trap insects is an example of which of the following?

Adapatation are caused by

Which would be an adaptation useful in a cold biome?

Cattle egrets forage (feed) in fields among cattle. The egret gets easy access to flying insects stirred up by the cattle, and the cattle don't care if the egrets are there or not.

A tapeworm and a cat have this type of relationship.

Hummingbirds feed on nectar from flowers. The flowers are pollinated by hummingbirds as they move from flower to flower.

Which best describe parasitism?

Aphids are tiny insects that live on and eat the leaves of plants, removing vital nutrients from the plants.

Clown fish live among the deadly tentacles of the sea anemone and are protected by it. The clown fish eats food left over by the anemone keeping the area clean and also acts as “bait”.
