cells

Answer 1

Cellular complexity

Question 2

organisms undergo different stages, which
follow a systematic process from birth to maturity

Answer 2

growth and development

Question 3

• to ensure continuity of life, organisms undergo reproduction
  that pass traits from one generation to next.

Answer 3

reproduction

Question 4

all organisms are very sensitive to
different stimuli. This response refers to any movement to stimuli in the
organisms’ own volition.

Answer 4

Irritability/ Ability to response to stimuli

Question 5

environmental condition

Answer 5

. Homeostasis

some other measurement.

Answer 9

Question 10

can be directly observed or seen

Answer 10

direct evidence

Question 11

does not involve actual observation of evolution but
from which evolution may be inferred

Answer 11

indirect evidence

Question 12

is the study of the distribution of species on Earth in the past
and present, and how the distribution is affected by abiotic factors such as habitat,
climate and terrain. The field is divided into three disciplines of biogeography:
historical, ecological and conservation.

Answer 12

biogeography

Question 13

Historical biogeography is also called

Answer 13

paleobiogeography

Question 14

father of biogeography

Answer 14

Afred Russel Wallace

Question 15

h states that in undisturbed rock sequences the bottom
layers are older than the top layers

Answer 15

law of superposition

Question 16

provide solid evidence that organisms from the past are not the same
as those found today

Answer 16

fossil

Question 17

All living cells have the same basic ___________and use the same genetic code

Answer 17

DNA Structure

Question 18

Proteins produced from genes all come from the
same set of

Answer 18

amino acids

Question 19

evolved
from a common ancestor

Answer 19

homologous structure

Question 19

defined as similar biological structures or sequences
in different taxa, thus implies divergent evolution.

Answer 19

homology

function of embryos.

Answer 20

embryology

Question 20

Answer 20

hemoglobin

Question 21

is used to store oxygen

Answer 21

myoglobin

Question 21

is a source of new alleles in a population.

Answer 21

mutation

Question 21

a change in the DNA sequence of the gene

Answer 21

mutation

Question 21

All the places where species live is known as

Answer 21

species distribution

Question 22

the flow of
alleles in and out of a population resulting from the migration of individuals or
gametes.

Answer 22

gene flow

Question 23

effect of chance

Answer 23

genetic drift

Question 23

works by selecting for alleles that confer beneficial traits or behaviors, while
selecting against those for deleterious qualities

Answer 23

natural selection

Question 24

introduce new allele into a population

Answer 24

mutation

Question 25

stems from the chance occurrence that some individuals have
more offspring than others and results in changes in allele frequencies that are random
in direction.

Answer 25

genetic drift

Question 26

When individuals leave or join the population, allele frequencies can change
as a result of

Answer 26

gene flow
