9th grade Biology Final Review
1
A random change in an organism's DNA that can lead to new traits, which may affect the organisms survival and reproduction.
2
The process by which organisms with traits that are better suited to their environment have a higher chance of surviving and reproducing, passing those advantageous traits to the next generation.
3
ability of an organism to survive, reproduce, and pass on its genes to the next generation
4
proportion of a specific allele (variant of a gene) within a population
5
population of beetles - two alleles for shell color - (B) dark shells, (b) light shells. Predators can see the light shell easier so they eat more of them. The beetles with recessive allele of dark shells have higher survival.
6
Organisms can evolve in a lifetime. true or false?
7
Bees carry pollen between red and yellow widlflowers on opposite sides of a river, resulting in orange flowers and increased genetic diversity. This is an example of which mechanism of evolution?
8
By chance only green frogs survive a harsh winter in a small pond, making green the only color in future generations.
9
A volcanic eruption only leaves blue-feathered birds alive, drastically reducing the populations genetic diversity.
10
A few lizards colonize a new island & their limited genes lead to unique traits in the population over time.

18
Root hairs are tiny ____ of root cells that help plants absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
19
Root hairs increase the __ ___ of the root allowing the plant to take in more resources efficiently.
20

23
What parts of a flower are the male gamete and organ?
24
What are the female parts of a flower?
25
Pollen from a flower's anther lands on the stigma of the same flower or another flower on the same plant
26
Pollen from one plant's flower is transferred to the stigma on a different plant of the same species.
27
Self-pollination happens with the same plant, often without external help. True of false

self-pollination results in
30
cross-pollinators have high genetic diversity because
