A statement or conclusion that answers a scientific question or explains a phenomenon, which can be supported by evidence.
a) Claim
b) Predator-Prey
c) Protein Structure
d) Adaptation
Differences in DNA that can be passed from parents to offspring, leading to diversity within a species.
a) Inheritable genetic variations
b) Heredity
c) Abiotic Factors
d) Adaptation
The unique mix of genes that results from the process of meiosis, contributing to genetic diversity in offspring.
a) Genetic combinations
b) Homeostasis
c) Photosynthesis
d) Carbon Cycle
A type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes by half, resulting in the formation of gametes (sperm and eggs) and leading to genetic diversity.
a) Meiosis
b) Gene Expression
c) Biodiversity
d) Symbiosis
The process by which DNA is copied before cell division, during which errors can occur, leading to genetic variation.
a) Replication
b) Biodiversity
c) Evolution
d) Symbiosis
Mistakes in DNA replication that do not harm the organism and may result in new traits or variations within the population.
a) Viable errors
b) Protein Structure
c) Genotype
d) ATP
Changes in the DNA sequence that can occur naturally or due to environmental factors, which may lead to new traits or variations.
a) Mutations
b) Mutation
c) Cellular Respiration
d) Adaptation
External influences, such as radiation, chemicals, or viruses, that can cause mutations in DNA.
a) Environmental factors
b) Symbiosis
c) Genetic Variation
d) Chromosome
The direct manipulation of an organism's DNA using biotechnology to introduce, remove, or alter genetic material.
a) Genetic engineering
b) Protein Synthesis
c) DNA Replication
d) Human Impact
The use of living organisms or systems to develop or make products, including techniques that modify genes for specific purposes.
a) Biotechnology
b) Cell Division
c) Biosphere
d) Ecological Succession
Differences in traits among individuals within a population, resulting from genetic and environmental factors.
a) Variation
b) Evolution
c) Mutation
d) Chromosome
The steps in cell division that lead to the formation of gametes, contributing to genetic diversity in offspring.
a) Processes in meiosis
b) Osmosis
c) Protein Structure
d) Cell Membrane
Reasoned statements that use evidence to support or refute a scientific claim, often involving explanations of how processes lead to observed outcomes.
a) Arguments
b) DNA Replication
c) Biotic Factors
d) DNA Replication
