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