Across
  1. 2. Make up the second level and are herbivors that eat the producers
  2. 4. Organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on their sucessful genes
  3. 5. When DNA molecules exchange genetic information and increase genetic variabiltiy
  4. 7. Happens when a climax community is impacted by a disturbance
  5. 8. The movement of genes into or out of a population
  6. 11. The growth and development phase of the cell (G1, S, G2)
  7. 18. When the genetic code of an organism's DNA or RNA changes
  8. 19. Location of the "blue print" that determines the structure of your bones as you develop
  9. 22. The "father of genetics" who was the first to study the patterns of inheritance and experimented using pea plants
  10. 23. division of the cytoplasm
  11. 24. The person who discovered evolution
  12. 26. Two identical cells created when the parent cell divides
  13. 30. The stage where the cell starts to pinch and the nuclear membrane reforms
  14. 31. breeding Darwing inferred that evolution must happen because of this
  15. 34. One
  16. 35. The loss of genetic variety that occurs after an outside force destroys most of the population
  17. 36. The role an organism plays in community
  18. 38. The passing of traits or characteristics from parent to offspring
  19. 39. Two
  20. 41. Changes in gene pool caused by a small population migrating to a new area
Down
  1. 1. Process of making egg cells and sperm cells
  2. 3. Eat Primary consumers
  3. 6. A mass of cancer cells
  4. 9. Mating based on traits, accessibility,or behaviors
  5. 10. Favors opposite extremes of the populations
  6. 12. Caused by uncontrolled cellular division
  7. 13. Branch of biology that studies heredity
  8. 14. The division of body cells to make more of the same kind of cell
  9. 15. Favors one extreme of the population
  10. 16. The creation of a community in an area where no soil initially exists, such as bare rocks formed from a lava flow
  11. 17. The fusion of egg and sperm to produce a new organism
  12. 20. The stage where chromosmes/sister chromatids are pulled apart
  13. 21. Make up the first level and are organisms that make their own food
  14. 25. Discovered the structure of DNA
  15. 27. The birth to life and finally the divison of the cell
  16. 28. The study of naming, describing, and classifying organisms
  17. 29. Gradual change in a species overtime.
  18. 32. The original cell inside an organism
  19. 33. When two traits are mixed together
  20. 34. The stage where chromosomes line up in the middle
  21. 37. Favors the average of the population
  22. 40. The stage where chromosomes coil up and condense and the nuclear membrane disappears
