Q

adaptive radiation

A

diversification between species like birds beaks

17
Q

artificial selection is

A

process by which humans select good traits

18
Q

monoculture is

A

cultivation of a single crop in a givin area

19
Q

what parts make up the sides of the ladder

A

sugar and phosphate

20
Q

how are the terms nucleotide genes chromatin- and chromosome related

A

Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA, which forms genes that are organized into chromatin, and chromatin further condenses to form chromosomes during cell division.

21
Q

what is the connection between DNA RNA and protein

A

RNA and DNA are connected through the central dogma of molecular biology DNA is transcribed to RNA which is then transcribed into protein

22
Q

what are mutagens when do they occur during cell division

A

mutagens are changes in a sequence occurring during cell replication

23
Q

what r some ex of mutagens, and what are they

A

radiation chemicals viruses are agents that can cause mutagens

24
Q

how does selective advantage help an organism live better

A

Selective advantage helps an organism survive and reproduce better in its environment

25
what is natural selection
process where organisms with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce like dark and light frogs
26
what is meant by this statement, "Natural selection is situational"
means that the traits favoured by natural selection depends on environmental conditions at the given time
27
how does speciation occur during adaptive radiation
when a single ancestral species diversifies into multiple new species
28
examples of a carcinogen
UV rays, tobacco
29
some examples of artificial selection done by humans
breeding dogs with specific traits, developing crops, selectively breeding livestock for increased meat or milk production
