TOPIC 1 BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY & SURVIVAL Give an example of a plant or animal with both a structural and behavioural adaptation What is the value of variation?

2 TOPIC 1 BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY & SURVIVAL Give an example of a plant or animal with both a structural and behavioural adaptation What is the value of variation? What are the seven groups and subgroups that are able to identify each species. Which is the biggest group? Which is the smallest? (Hint: Kings Play Chess On Fine Green Sand) What is the difference between a structural and a behavioural adaptation TOPIC 2 HABITAT & LIFESTYLE INTERDEPENDENCE Illustrate using the spruce tree illustration and briefly explain what warbler populations would be affected directly, if lightning hit the top part of the tree. Define and give an example of each of the following types of symbiotic relationships. Symbiotic Relationship Definition Example Commensalism Mutualism Parasitism

3 Explain the difference between the type of niche specialists and generalists have. Specialists: Generalists: Why is there little diversity and large populations in Northern Canada and high diversity with small populations in Central and South America? TOPIC 3 PASSING IT ON Complete the Venn diagram comparing sexual and asexual reproduction ASEXUAL Reproduction SEXUAL Reproduction Similarities Unique Features Unique Features

4 Complete the chart comparing asexual and sexual reproduction Method of Reproduction Advantages Disadvantages Asexual Reproduction Sexual Reproduction Complete the chart on asexual reproduction. Binary Fission Form Description Diagram Budding Spore Production Vegetative Reproduction

5 Label the following diagram of the flower. TOPIC 4 WEARING YOUR GENES Some characteristics are heritable but can also be affected by the environment. Explain how this is true for height in humans. Describe how the environment may affect variation in plants. Explain what mutations are and what causes them. What is the difference between a discrete and a continuous variation? What is a Punnett square and what is it used to show? What is the difference between a hybrid and a purebred?

6 TOPIC 5 - WHEN PLANS CHANGE 1. Chromosomes are found in the of the cell. 2. Since each chromosome is composed of DNA, a can be defined as a region of DNA that controls a hereditary characteristic. 3. Which nucleotides bond with each other (use the letters A,C,G,and T) Mitosis occurs in the body cells of multicellular organisms and is responsible for the growth and cellular repair of a multicellular organism. Meiosis occurs in the sex organs (testes and ovaries of an animal and stamen or pistil of a plant) of sexually reproducing organisms so that gametes can be produced prior to sexual reproduction. Complete the following table comparing chromosomes numbers in various species. Organism # of chromosomes in a body cell # of chromosomes in a gamete cabbage 9 black bear 58 human 46 peanut 17

Provide an example of an organism that uses this method of reproduction to

7 Study the following diagram. What process is outlined? What type of reproduction is this process associated with? Provide an example of an organism that uses this method of reproduction to produce offspring. Explain the process that this illustration demonstrates. Sperm cell Egg Cell Zygote Embryo Human

8 TOPIC 6 THE BEST SELECTION Benefits Artificial Selection Drawbacks Explain what occurs during each type of artificial selection. Artificial Selection What occurs cloning artificial insemination genetic engineering Natural Selection is Darwin found support for his Theory of Natural Selection on the islands. His theory can be summed up into 4 main points: TOPIC 7 THE 6 TH EXTINCTION

9 Explain the difference between extinction and extirpation. In what ways can extinction occur naturally? Describe what human factors are contributing to the increased rate of extinction currently being observed. How do zoos preserve biodiversity? TOPIC 8 PAINS & GAINS What are seed banks? Does natural selection result in variation, or does variation cause natural selection? Explain.
