Q

If the gazelle population increases

What happens to the Lions population?

A

It increase as well because it has more food to eat which means that it can survive for longer

Q

Why do trees change in the season?

A

Trees change in the season because of photo synthesis. In the winter there is no need for leafs as they do not have enough sunlight.

Q

How do animals adapt in the winter?

A

Animals adapt in the winter from hibernation, migration,grow thicker fur,camouflage and storing food to help them survive through the winter.

Q

What does inherited mean?

A

Inherited means passing traits from parents to their child through genes. These traits, like eye color, hair type, and height, come from DNA and cannot be changed.

Q

What is interspecific variation?

A

Interspecific variation is the differences between different species. For example, cats 🐱 and dogs 🐶 have different fur, sizes, and sounds because they are different species.

Q

what is intraspecific variation

A

Intraspecific variation is the differences within the same species. For example, humans 👩👦 have different hair colors, heights, and eye colors, even though they are all the same species.

21
Q

Characteristics that are inherited are usually . . .

A

Discontinuous

22
Q

How many chromosomes does a human have?

A

46 chromosomes or 23 pairs

23
Q

What do DNA give you?

A

Gives you characterisitcs

24
Q

What are genes?

A

Genes are a small section of DNA that contains a specific bit of information

25
What is the name for a section of DNA that codes for a characteristics?
Gene
26
What do we mean by evolution?
Evolution is when changes occur over millions of years.
27
True or false? Enviromental get passed down your gene
False
28
Explain natural selection?
Natural selection is how animals and plants adapt to their environment over time. The strongest or best-adapted survive and pass their traits to their young. For example, fast cheetahs 🐆 catch more food and have babies that are also fast. This helps the species survive!
29
State the resource that the insects use logs fo?
Habitat
30
Except for Habitat what is another resource that helps animals to survive
Food Water Mates
31
Explain why plants don't compete for food?
They make there own food and this is called photosynthesis.
32
State one resource that plants compete for that animals don't compete for?
Minerals Sunlight
33
Name the cell component that stores genetic material
Nucleus
34
Name the chemical that contains all the information needed to make an organism
DNA
35
Describe the difference between a gene and a chromosome
A gene is a small part of DNA that controls traits but a chromosome is a larger structure containing many of genes which is normally coiled.
36
Describe how genetic material is passed from parents to their child
Parents pass DNA to their child, carrying traits like eye and hair colour. Each parent gives 23 chromosomes, making 46 in total. These chromosomes contain genes, which determine how a child looks and grows.
37
state one piece of evidence which proves hat dinosaurs existed?
Fossils
38
State what it meant by extinction?
Extinction means when there is no more of that species living in the world
39
State and explain two reasons that could cause an organism to become extinct
Habitat Camouflage Climate change Deforastation
40
Describe the role of gene banks in helping to prevent extinctions
Holds DNA and they preserve genes for indagered species
41
Explain why body mass is an example of continuous variation
Body mass is an example of continuous variation because it changes gradually and has many possible values. People can have any weight, not just fixed categories. It is affected by genes and lifestyle, like diet and exercise.
42
Explain how the variation in students body mass is called?
The variation in students' body mass is called continuous variation because it changes gradually and has many possible values, not just set categories. It is influenced by genes and environment (like diet and exercise).
43
Explain the process of natural selection and the role it plays in the evolution of species.
Variation Better suited to enviroment will live for longer and reproduce Passing on genes Over many generations the species will have favourable species.
44
What is biodiversity loss
Biodiversity loss means fewer animals, plants, and insects in nature. This happens because of cutting down trees, pollution, and climate change. It can harm the planet and all living things.
45
Describe at least 3 causes of biodiversity loss and say why are we doing those things
Deforestation 🌳➡️🏗️ – Cutting down trees to make space for farms, cities, and roads destroys animal and plant habitats. Pollution 🛢️💨 – Chemicals from factories, cars, and plastic waste harm animals, water, and the air we breathe. Climate Change 🌡️🔥 – Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas) makes the Earth hotter, changing habitats and making it hard for some animals to survive.
46
What can we do to reduce this biodiversity loss
Planting trees 🌳 to replace lost forests. Reducing pollution 🚯 by recycling and using less plastic. Using clean energy 💡 like solar and wind instead of burning fossil fuels. Protecting wildlife 🦁 by creating nature reserves and stopping habitat destruction. Using land wisely 🏡 to save natural areas for animals and plants
