- 2. A population that grows without limit
- 4. Study of the form of living things
- 6. The process by which cells use oxygen to break down glucose and release energy (ATP).Theory, A well tested scientific explanation supported by lots of evidence.
- 7. Mechanism of evolution that occurs when random change in the allele frequency happens in the population
- 10. A species whose presence or absence shows the health of an environment.
- 18. Evolutionary history of a species
- 19. The factor that is measured in an experiment.
- 22. When there are no changes in the allele frequencies in a population over time, and thus evolution is not occurring
- 24. A process that does not require oxygen.
- 27. Balance between Earth’s resources, human needs, and the needs of other species
- 32. The number of individuals of a species living in a specific area.
- 35. Mechanism of evolution caused by the movement of genes into or out of a population
- 36. When a body of water becomes overly enriched with nutrients, causing excessive algae growth
- 37. The movement of a particular form of matter through the living and nonliving parts of an ecosystem
- 38. The process by which new species form over time.
- 39. The role or job an organism has in its ecosystem, including how it gets food and interacts with other organisms.
- 40. Data that is measured in numbers (example: temperature, height, time).
- 41. A process cells use to release energy from food without oxygen.
- 42. 2name naming system by Carolus Linnaeus that names organisms after their Genus species
Down
- 1. Study of embryo development
- 3. Study of the geographic distribution of plants and animals
- 5. Greater impact on a more dense population
- 8. Small scale evolution affecting a single population
- 9. A factor that stays the same during an experiment.
- 11. Measure of the number of organisms living in a defined area
- 12. A type of divergent evolution occurring on a small scale over a shorter period of time
- 13. Data that is described using words (example: color, texture, smell).
- 14. Species that exist only in one geographic region
- 15. The factor that is changed in an experiment.
- 16. Impact is independent of population density, therefore the same impact on more dense and less dense populations
- 17. A process that requires oxygen.
- 20. When one prokaryote ended up inside another and both organisms thrived
- 21. A measure of how well an organism can survive in its environment
- 23. A feature that allows an organism to better survive in its environment
- 25. Mechanism of evolution that favors traits that potentially decrease survival, but increase likelihood of reproduction
- 26. A graphic representation of mortality patterns, showing the number of individuals in a population that can be expected to survive to any specific age
- 28. Mechanism of evolution where organisms with the “best” traits are favored and thus live longer and reproduce more, causing changes in the population over time so that the fittest survive
- 29. A testable prediction or educated guess based on observations.
- 30. A population that grows quickly at first but levels off at the carrying capacity due to limited resources
- 31. Nonfunctional genes
- 33. Study of chemical processes in living things
- 34. The combined alleles of all individuals in a population
