Biological Diversity
3 types
- Between
- Among
- Within
Niche
The habits and habitat of an organism.
Species
Living things of the same kind that reproduce succesfully.The name of an animal, end of the dichotomous key.
Symbiosis
A relationship between to species.
- Mulualism - Both Benift
- Parasitism - One benifits, one is harmed
- Commensalism - One benifts, one is unharmed.
Variability
when a species improves its survival because it has better resistance against enviromental pressures.
Ecosystem
Where living and non-living things interact.
Biotic
Living
Abiotic
Non-living
Genus
One level up from the species.
Population
number of plants or animals in the ecosystem.
Community
Plants and animals in an ecosystem.
Taxonomy
grouping of oraganisms
Binary Fission
Cell division.
Budding
outgrowth of a parent becomes a new individual.
Spore Production
Dunna know
Vegatative Production
- Rhizomes
- Tubers
- Runners
- Plantlets
- Bulbs
- Corms
Gametes
Female and Male Sex Cells
Zygote
Formed when A male and a femal gamete join.
Viviparous
The development of an embryo occurs inside the female.
Oviparious
The development of an embryo occurs outside of the body such as an egg.
Plant Parts
- Stamen - Male Part - Pollen
- Pistil - Female Part
- Stigma - Top of Pistil
- Ovary - (f) eggs are produced
- Petals - the flower
- Pollination - The transfer of pollen from anther to stigma.
Hermaphrodites
Produce both sex cells (Sexual Reproduction)
Protogyny
The organism starts female then changes to male.
Female Sex Cell
Egg
Male Sex Cell
Sperm
Sexual Reproduction
Involves two sexes: Male and Female, which produce sex cells.
Asexual Reproduction
A single individual can produce an offspring without fertilization (sperm or egg)
Unicellular
Single-celled organism
DNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid
Nitrogeous Base
- Adenine
- Cytosine
- Thymine
- Guanine
Chromosome
Thread like structures of DNA, found in the nucleous of the cells. 46 - Dipliod 23 - hapliod
Chromatid
Half of chromosome. DNA
Gene
Hereditary unit on a chromosome, they can change and mutate. They control whether you have blue eys or brown or what color your hair is.
Allele
One of many possible forms of a gene. Everyone has two alleles, one from their mother another from their father.
- Dominant Allele
- Recessive Allele
Centromere
Connects the two chromatids to make the chromosome.
Hapliod
Half of a dipliod. 23 chromosomes.
Dipliod
Two hapliods. 46 chromosomes.
Heritable Trait
A trait the is able to be inherited.
Non-heritable Trait
A trait that is not able to be inherited.
Dominant Trait
A trait that 'overpowers' the other trait.
Recessive Trait
A trait that is 'Overpowered' by a Dominant trait.
Homozygous Dominant
Two of the same trait, both or one dominant.
Homozygous Recessive
Two of the same trait, both recessive.
Heterozygous
Two different traits, one dominant, one recessive.
Hybrid
A cross between two species.
Purebred
An offspring of two of the same species.
Incomplete Dominance
When both parents are shown in the offspring.
Genotype
The possibilities, and the combinations.
Phenotype
The outcome, black hair, blue eyes.
Mitosis Purpose
- Growth
- Development
- Repair
Meiosis Purpose
- Creation of Gametes
- Crossing Over
Mitosis Stages
- Interphase
- Prophase
- Metaphase
- Anaphase
- Telophase
Cytokinesis
The dividing of a cell. When the membrane.
Meiosis Stages
- Interphase
- Prophase I
- Metaphase I
- Anaphase I
- Telophase I
- Prophase II
- Metaphase II
- Anaphase II
- Telophase II
Centromeres Split
When the chromosomes split. Anaphase I - Mitosis
Anaphase I, II - Meiosis
Crossing Over
Meiosis - Prophase I
Chromosome Number
Mitosis - 2n of parent makes 2n of daughter.
Meiosis - 2n of parent makes n of daughter.
Mitosis Function
To make new cells for
- Growth
- Development
- Repair
Meiosis Function
- The creation of gametes
- Recombining of genetic information (crossing over)
Homogulous Pairing
Mitosis - Metaphase
Meiosis - Prophase
Number of Divisions
Mitosis - one
Meiosis - two
