A Punnett Square shows (a) of offspring (b) .
Genotype refers to the two (a) that control the phenotype of a trait
Ex: Eye Color
(b) - Homozygous (same) Dominant brown = 2 brown
(c) - Homozygous (same) recessive blue = 2 blue
(d) - Heterozygous (not same) = 1 brown + 1 blue
Phenotype refers to the (a) characteristics of an organism coded for by their (b) .
Alleles are different versions of a (a) (dominant and (b) )
Ex: Eye Color
B = (c) allele for Brown Eyes
(d) = Recessive allele for blue eyes
DNA mutations are random (a) in DNA that lead to a changes in (b) sequences that code for specific (c)
*Addition/Insertion = More bases
*Deletion = Fewer bases
*Substitution = Same number but different sequence (A, T, C, or G)
Evolution refers to the changes in (a) traits over time (thousands to millions of years), resulting in new (b) that are (c) for specific environments.
Survival of the (a) means that individuals that are better adapted to their (b) survive and pass on their (c) more successfully.
Natural selection occurs when (a) factors select for or against the (b) of an organism, determining their fitness for (c) .
A structural (a) is a physical feature with a specific (b) that contributes to the (c) of the organism.
A (a) ancestor is an ancestral (b) from which later species (c) .
A gene pool is all the (a) , including all the different (b) for each gene, that are present in a (c) at any one time.
The (a) system consists of Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, (b) .
(a) was the English natural scientist who formulated a theory of (b) by natural selection (1809-1882).
Fossils are the (a) remains of once-living (b) ; they are evidence for (c) .
A (a) structure is a structure that is present in an organism but (b) serves its original (c) .
(a) anatomy is the study of (b) and differences among (c) of living species.
(a) refers to the struggle between organisms to (b) in a habitat with (c) resources.
The (a) capacity is the (b) number of individuals of any population that an (c) can support.
A limiting factor is any (a) (living) or (b) (nonliving) factor that helps determine the (c) .
A behavioral (a) is an (b) behavior that helps an organism (c) .
Heritable traits are traits ( (a) ) that can be passed on (b) (DNA) from parent to (c) (child).
(a) pressures are the factors ( (b) or biotic) in an ecosystem which put pressure on an organism's (c) and increase (d) .
Fitness (for survival) refers to how well an organism can survive and (a) in its (b)
=> white fur in snow vs. black fur.
