This lab simulates Darwin's observations of finches on the Galapagos Islands to demonstrate how they adapted to different food sources through beak variations. Students are assigned random beaks and must collect seeds on different islands within time limits, facing increased competition. Those who average over 13 seeds progress to subsequent rounds with harder conditions, representing how traits increase survival and reproduction, while less successful traits die out. The goal is to illustrate how finches evolved different beaks from a common ancestor through natural selection based on their environment.

2) A Punnett square is used to predict outcomes of crosses between heterozygous parents for a trait.
3) A dihybrid cross examines inheritance of two traits simultaneously by crossing F1 offspring differing in two traits.
Asexual reproduction in animals
This document summarizes various modes of asexual and sexual reproduction in animals. It discusses asexual reproduction methods like fission, budding, fragmentation, and parthenogenesis. Sexual reproduction requires the fusion of male and female gametes. Fertilization can occur externally or internally. The document also covers sequential hermaphroditism and describes genetically modified organisms and the central dogma of molecular biology.
Darwin and-his-theory
This document provides an overview of key concepts in evolution including:
1. Evolution is the change in populations over time through natural selection and common descent. Microevolution refers to changes within populations while macroevolution creates and eliminates species.
2. Darwin's voyage on the Beagle and observations of variations within populations and the struggle for existence led him to develop his theory of evolution by natural selection.
3. Evidence for evolution includes the fossil record, comparative anatomy, embryology, and molecular biology which show conservation and diversification of genes matching evolutionary relationships.
Sexual reproduction in animals
This document summarizes animal reproduction, including the two types - asexual and sexual reproduction. It describes the reproductive organs of males and females, the three phases of sexual reproduction which are production of gametes, fertilization either externally or internally, and development of the zygote either inside an egg or inside the mother's body. The reproductive organs, phases and types of development are outlined in detail.
Population interactions and special species types
This document discusses four main types of population interactions: predator-prey, herbivory, competition, and symbiosis. It also defines four special species types: dominant species, nonnative species, keystone species, and ecosystem engineers. Examples are provided for each type of population interaction and special species. Key concepts are underlined and vocabulary defined in green.
Types of evolution notes
There are three main types of evolution:
1. Coevolution occurs when two species evolve together due to their close relationship, such as flowers and pollinating insects.
2. Divergent evolution happens when species with a common ancestor become more different and evolve into separate species, often in different environments like the finches of the Galapagos Islands.
3. Convergent evolution is when species with different ancestors evolve similar traits for the same environment, like dolphins and fish developing flippers for swimming.
Speciation prezygotic and postzygotic
This document discusses several topics related to speciation and the evolution of new species:
1. It defines speciation as the development of a new species and examines different species concepts, barriers to reproduction between species, and modes of speciation such as allopatric and sympatric speciation.
2. It explores mechanisms that can lead to reproductive isolation between populations like prezygotic barriers like habitat isolation and postzygotic barriers like hybrid sterility.
3. It discusses examples of allopatric speciation driven by geographic barriers and sympatric speciation driven by mechanisms like polyploidy, habitat differentiation, and sexual selection.
Ecological relationship
This document discusses different types of ecological relationships between organisms including competition, predation, herbivory, and symbiosis. Competition occurs when organisms require the same limited resources. Predation is when one organism feeds on another. Herbivory describes a primary consumer feeding on a producer or another consumer. Symbiosis refers to long-term interactions where at least one organism benefits, and can be mutualism, commensalism, or parasitism.

Similarities in embryonic development and DNA across species also provide evidence that organisms share a common ancestry.
Ionic and Covalent bond
Chemical bonds form through different types of attractions between atoms. Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, creating oppositely charged ions that are attracted to each other. Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons equally. Ionic bonds are generally stronger than covalent bonds because more energy is required to overcome the electrostatic forces between ions.
SCIENCE7: Asexual and Sexual Reproduction
This document discusses asexual and sexual reproduction. It begins by defining the two types of reproduction and their key differences. Asexual reproduction involves one parent and produces genetically identical offspring, while sexual reproduction involves two parents and produces offspring with genetic variation. The document then explains various types of asexual reproduction, including binary fission, budding, regeneration, and vegetative propagation. It also covers the process of sexual reproduction, including fertilization. Key differences between asexual and sexual reproduction are outlined such as number of parents involved, genetic makeup of offspring, use of gametes, and relative rates of reproduction. Students are then given questions to test their understanding of the concepts.
Common ancestors
This document contains notes from a science class on evolution and common ancestry. It includes definitions of key terms like inheritable vs. acquired traits, common ancestors, and evidence that indicates common ancestry.

Unit 2 excretion and osmoregulation
Marine bony fish maintain osmotic balance by drinking seawater and excreting salts to counteract water loss, while freshwater fish excrete large volumes of dilute urine and absorb salts through their gills. The kidneys play a key role in osmoregulation and excretion for humans and other animals by filtering waste from the blood into urine via nephrons, and reabsorbing useful solutes while regulating water and electrolyte levels through hormones like ADH and aldosterone.
Properties of Water Presentation
Water is made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom in a polar covalent bond. This polarity allows water molecules to form hydrogen bonds with up to four neighboring molecules. These hydrogen bonds give water its unique properties including high surface tension, heat capacity, and ability to moderate temperatures. Water's properties like cohesion, density maximum at 4°C, and solvent abilities support life by transporting nutrients in plants, stabilizing ecosystems, and allowing biochemical reactions to occur.

Asexual Reproduction in Animals (Quick Review)
Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that involves only one parent where the offspring are genetically identical clones. It occurs through several methods including binary fission, budding, regeneration, parthenogenesis, and cloning. The common forms are binary fission where a single parent divides into two identical offspring, budding where new individuals bud off from the parent, and regeneration where a lost body part regrows into a whole new individual.
Levels of organization
1. The document discusses the different levels of biological organization from atoms to the biosphere.
2. It provides descriptions and examples for each level, from the smallest levels of atoms and molecules, to organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms, populations, communities, ecosystems, biomes, and the biosphere.
3. The levels of organization show how simple structures combine to form more complex living things, with implications that harm at one level can affect higher levels of organization.
Genotype and phenotype
The document discusses the differences between genotype and phenotype. Genotype refers to how genes code for a specific trait, using capital letters for dominant traits and lowercase for recessive traits. Phenotype refers to the outward appearance or expression of a trait. Some examples provided are that genotype could be TT for a purebred dominant tall pea plant, while phenotype looks at the actual observed trait of being tall. The key difference is that genotype deals with gene code, while phenotype deals with observable characteristics and traits.
Genetic Disorders due to Error in Meiosis
This document summarizes several genetic disorders caused by abnormalities in human chromosomes, including trisomies where there is an extra chromosome (such as Trisomy 13, 18, and 21), Turner Syndrome where there is missing X chromosome, and some of the common symptoms and facial features of each condition. It also discusses that genetic disorders affect almost 6% of births worldwide annually and that while many have no known cause, some may result from nondisjunction during meiosis where chromosomes do not separate properly.
Photosynthesis
This document discusses photosynthesis in plants. It begins by stating the objectives of understanding the structures, raw materials, and products of photosynthesis. It then describes where photosynthesis takes place inside the chloroplasts in plant leaves. The two stages of photosynthesis are explained as the light-dependent reaction which uses light to produce ATP and NADPH, and the light-independent Calvin cycle which uses those products to fix carbon dioxide into glucose in the chloroplast stroma. Key terms involved in the process are also defined.
Igcse bio orientation ppt
The International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) is an internationally recognized qualification offered by Cambridge Assessment International Education. The document provides information about the IGCSE Biology 0610 syllabus, which covers topics such as cell biology, organization of the organism, biological processes, ecology, and human influences. The syllabus aims to develop an understanding of scientific skills and biological facts, as well as an understanding of the technological world.
Kingdom plantae
This document discusses the classification of plants. It divides plants into two main groups: non-vascular plants (bryophytes) and vascular plants (tracheophytes). Non-vascular plants lack specialized tissues for transporting water and nutrients. They are small and need wet environments. Vascular plants have tissues like xylem and phloem that allow transport of water and nutrients. They are further divided into gymnosperms, which produce naked seeds, and angiosperms, which produce flowers and fruits containing seeds. Key groups discussed include ferns, conifers like pine trees, and flowering plants.
Non-Mendellian genetics
This document discusses several non-Mendelian patterns of inheritance including lack of dominance where the heterozygous phenotype differs from the homozygous phenotypes, multiple alleles where a single gene can have more than two alleles, pleiotropy where a single gene influences multiple traits, lethal genes which cause death, sex-linked inheritance determined by genes on sex chromosomes, gene interactions between two or more genes, complementary genes which act together to determine a trait, epistasis where one gene inhibits another, polygenic inheritance where multiple genes influence a trait, and pedigree analysis to trace traits within a family.
Sexual reproduction in animals ppt
Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes to produce offspring that contain a mix of characteristics from both parents. This allows for more variations in offspring, which is advantageous for species survival when environmental conditions change. Variations in offspring increase the chance that some will possess traits making them resistant to new threats. Sexual reproduction requires contributions from both sexes through their different gametes - sperm from males and eggs from females.
Cellular respiration introduction for 9th grade biology
Cellular respiration is the process cells use to release energy stored in glucose and store it in ATP. It occurs in three main stages:
1. Glycolysis breaks glucose into pyruvate, producing 2 ATP.
2. The citric acid cycle in the mitochondria further breaks down pyruvate, producing more ATP, CO2, and electron carriers.
3. The electron transport chain uses oxygen to generate most of the cell's ATP through oxidative phosphorylation as electrons are passed through protein complexes, producing up to 36 ATP per glucose molecule.
Populaiton growth and carrying capacity cer
The document defines and provides examples of different types of symbiotic relationships:
- Commensalism is a relationship where one organism benefits without affecting the other, like barnacles on a whale.
- Mutualism benefits both organisms, such as birds eating pests off a rhino's back.
- Parasitism benefits one organism while harming the other, for example ticks on a dog.
Biology - Part D Regents Review - Beaks of the Finches
This document summarizes a lab activity simulating natural selection through competition for food among bird species with varying beak traits. Students represent finches with different tool beaks and compete to remove seeds. Those best adapted to the initial seed type survive round one. Losers migrate and compete where seed types differ. Increased competition in later rounds eliminates more groups until the best adapted beak for each seed type remains, demonstrating natural selection.
Biologoy Lab Report
1. The document describes a lab experiment that demonstrates natural selection and evolution using colored twinkles ("prey") and student predators.
2. When the lights were turned off in an orange-lit environment, the brown twinkles were least noticeable and were picked least by predators, while green twinkles stood out most and were eliminated first.
3. Over multiple generations, the percentage of brown twinkles increased as they were most adapted to the environment, while colorful twinkles decreased and went extinct, demonstrating natural selection.

Living Environment Lab Review
This document contains a review of a lab on beaks of finches and Darwin's theory of natural selection. It discusses how different beak sizes allowed finches to access different food sources on the Galapagos Islands. Offspring of better adapted parents were more likely to inherit advantageous traits that increased chances of survival and reproduction. The lab involved using different tools to simulate beak shapes trying to access different seeds. Data was more accurate when multiple trials were averaged. All finches shared a common ancestor which is why they have similarities.
Biology Lab
The document summarizes a student's biology research project investigating the effect of light exposure on mung bean germination. The student designed an experiment with five light exposure conditions (0, 2, 4, 6, 8 hours per day) and tracked germination rates over 72 hours. Results showed that mung beans receiving 8 hours of light germinated the fastest, with a statistically significant difference from the no light condition. However, differences between other light intervals were not statistically significant. The student concluded that increased light exposure facilitated faster germination by warming the beans and stimulating enzymes.

Seeds contain stored energy to help young plants grow. They reproduce plants and can travel via wind, water, or animals. Seeds have three main parts - a seed coat, cotyledons which provide food, and a small embryo plant. Monocots have one cotyledon while dicots have two. Germination involves water soaking the seed coat, the coat splitting, and the root and shoot emerging to become a new plant using energy from the cotyledons.

Managing pollination to avoid unwanted cross-pollination is important, which can be done through isolation, barriers, or timing. For most vegetables, seeds are obtained after the fruit or pod ripens fully. Seeds must then be dried and stored properly. When saving seed, it is best to start with open-pollinated varieties and select the healthiest plants over generations to adapt the variety to local conditions. The number of plants needed varies by vegetable, from one for self-pollinators to over 100 for outbreeding crops to maintain genetic diversity.

Seed Saving ~ sprg.info
Seed saving involves managing pollination to maintain genetic diversity and produce consistent results when saving seeds. It requires skills like starting plants from seed and selecting the best plants for reproduction. For most vegetables, pollen must transfer from the male to female parts to produce seeds. Cross-pollination can be avoided through isolation, barriers, or timing. The number of plants needed varies by vegetable, from one plant for self-pollinators to over 100 for corn to preserve diversity. Proper drying and storage allows seeds to be planted in future seasons.

The document is the July 2016 newsletter of the Coffs Harbour Garden Club. It provides information on upcoming meetings and events for the club in July and August, including a launch for the Spring Garden Competition, guest speakers on bromeliads and floral art demonstrations. It also includes the flower of the month, gardening tips for July and answers to a gardening quiz from the previous month's meeting. The president's message discusses some of the health benefits of gardening.
The Fascination of Plants
This document discusses the importance and complexity of plants. It notes that plants are more than objects for human use, are responsible for atmospheric composition and mass extinctions, and are the basis for all life. While humans have altered most of the planet's terrain, plants can communicate, defend themselves, and change their environment without needing humans. The document advocates learning about local native plant communities and their relationships with other species. It suggests gardening with native plants to support biodiversity and providing habitat for insects and birds.
The Fascination of (Native) Plants
Gardeners need to understand the scope of plant extinction and how all native animals depend on the evolved species of a given landscape. They need to see the garden more as a habitat than a collection of alien plant "pets". Growing efforts need to consider the food and shelter value of plants to birds and the insects they eat. Features the work of Doug Tallamy and the Habitat Network.

The document summarizes an experiment conducted by a biology class to determine if the inheritance of anthocyanin (purple pigment) in Brassica Rapa follows Mendel's laws of inheritance. The class hypothesized that anthocyanin would be inherited as a dominant trait in a 3:1 ratio. The results were inconclusive, as the class data found a green trait to be dominant while combined data found purple to be dominant. Errors in planting, pollination and counting led to inconsistent results, preventing the class from supporting or refuting their hypothesis. Future experiments need more active involvement to limit errors and reach a clear conclusion.
Reproduction in organism NCERT Question and Answer by mohanbio2013
1. Reproduction, both sexual and asexual, is essential for continuity of life on Earth and evolution.
2. Sexual reproduction introduces genetic variation which allows offspring to better adapt to the environment, whereas asexual reproduction produces clones of the parent.
3. Vegetative reproduction, like runners and rhizomes, is a form of asexual reproduction where new plants are produced from fragments of the parent plant.
Breeding Techniques for Vegetables
The document discusses various plant breeding techniques used by amateur plant breeders, including selection, inbreeding to fix desirable genes, making F1 hybrids, using F2 generations, outcrossing, backcrossing, and introducing new mutations. It provides examples of how to apply these techniques to develop new plant varieties through several generations of self-pollination and selection. The goal is to breed plants with specific desirable traits while maintaining all other traits of the original variety.

Food Chains & Webs
This document discusses food chains and food webs, which show how energy moves through an ecosystem. A food chain represents a single path of energy transfer between organisms, such as from berries to rabbits to foxes. A food web shows multiple interconnected food chains and is more complex, illustrating all the different ways energy can move between producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and decomposers in an ecosystem. Arrows are used to indicate the flow of energy from one organism to another. Examples of both food chains and webs are provided.
Acids And Bases
Acids have a low pH below 7 and turn litmus paper red, while bases have a high pH above 7 and turn litmus paper blue. Common acids include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid found in stomach acid and some cleaners. Bases like bleach and those in toothpaste are often used to clean around the home. Water is neutral with a pH of 7, while indicators like litmus paper and universal indicator can test if a substance is an acid or base by changing color.
Characteristics Of Living Things
The document outlines the six key characteristics that define living things: 1) cells/organization, 2) energy transformation, 3) reproduction, 4) growth, 5) response to the environment, and 6) adaptation/evolution. It provides examples to illustrate each characteristic, such as cells forming tissues and organs, metabolism powering life processes, asexual and sexual reproduction, mitosis allowing single-celled and multicellular growth, homeostasis and behavior as responses, and evolution resulting in genetic adaptations over generations.
Photosynthesis Ppt
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to produce oxygen and glucose, which provides energy and food for the plant's growth. It occurs in leaves, and requires light, carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis produces oxygen that humans and other animals breathe and glucose that is stored in plants and provides their energy and food.
Hormones & Reproduction
Hormones are chemical messengers released by endocrine glands that cause changes in other parts of the body. The endocrine system works with the nervous system to maintain homeostasis through negative feedback loops. Key glands include the pituitary, thyroid, pancreas, ovaries and testes. Hormones regulate important bodily functions like growth, reproduction, metabolism, and temperature control.
Mitosis Slides
Plant cells undergo mitosis in root tips. The stages of mitosis include interphase, prophase where chromosomes condense, metaphase where chromosomes align in the center, anaphase where chromosomes are pulled to opposite poles, and telophase where cytokinesis occurs and the cell divides into two daughter cells. An image shows an allium root tip with the meristematic region where cell division through mitosis is actively taking place.
Photosynthesis
The document discusses photosynthesis and how plants use it to produce energy and food. Photosynthesis has two main processes - the energy reactions that use sunlight to produce ATP and the sugar reactions that use ATP and carbon dioxide from the air to produce sugars. It requires sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water and produces oxygen as a byproduct. The chloroplasts in plant cells are where photosynthesis takes place.
15respiration2007
Cellular respiration is the process by which organisms harvest chemical energy from food to produce ATP in mitochondria using oxygen. Glucose and oxygen are broken down to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP. Mitochondria contain enzymes and oxygen that allow them to act as the "furnace" to make ATP from fuels like carbohydrates and fats. If oxygen is missing, fermentation can partially generate ATP from glucose through processes like alcohol or lactic acid fermentation.
Cellular Respiration
Cellular respiration is the process that releases energy from glucose into usable ATP. It occurs in the mitochondria of all cells in all organisms. Cellular respiration and photosynthesis have opposing jobs, reactants and products, but both occur in plant and animal cells, with cellular respiration occurring constantly and photosynthesis occurring during daylight hours.
