3. What are the intended benefits of cell phones?

4. What is the 4th classification level when they are listed from most general to most specific?

Tarantulas defend themselves by flicking hairs into the eyes of their predators. In a population of tarantulas, a few tarantulas do not have these hairs. Why are the tarantulas that have these hairs more likely to produce offspring than the hairless tarantulas are?

A. Tarantulas that have the hairs will be better able to defend themselves.

B. Tarantulas that have the hairs will blend in with their environment.

C. The egg sacs of tarantulas that have the hairs are larger and produce more offspring.

D. Tarantulas that have the hairs will attract more mates.

What are the 3 methods of

investigation?

Cell phones may distract drivers and cause them to wreck, the communication

towers can take away from the beauty of a landscape, and kids aren’t able to spell correctly due to the reliance on T-9 and spell

checks

When 2 organisms create an offspring

What is sexual reproduction?

When fertilization occurs outside the

body

What is external fertilization?

The method of fertilization that humans use in

reproduction

What is internal fertilization?

Many offspring are created in a small amount of time and the organism doesn’t

have to depend on any other organism

What are the positives of asexual

reproduction?

Amphibians and some fish

What organisms use external fertilization?

A behavior that is known at birth, for

example a baby crying when they are born

What is an innate behavior?

A characteristic that improves an

individual’s ability to survive and reproduce.

What is adaptation?

1.Separation

2.Adaptation

3.Division

What are the 3 steps of

speciation?

the process when individuals that are better

adapted to their environment survive and reproduce more

successfully than less adapted individuals

What is natural selection?

1.Overpopulation

2.Genetic Variation

3.Struggle to survive

4.Successful Reproduction

What are the 4 steps to natural

selection?

The differences in living organisms

What is biodiversity?

the approximate of objects in rock layers

determined by comparing whether the surrounding

rock layers are younger or older

What is relative age?

Developing new medicines,

maintains stable ecosystems, and more beautiful

Why is biodiversity important?

A group of life forms that live together in a balanced and stable

community

What is an ecosystem?

Hardened Earth that forms layers in which fossils can be found
