Gregor Mendel conducted experiments with pea plants in the 1840s to understand inheritance of traits. He found that traits are inherited in distinct units (now called genes) and that some traits (alleles) are dominant over others. Through his experiments with pea plants over multiple generations, Mendel discovered his Laws of Inheritance - the Law of Dominance, the Law of Segregation, and the Law of Independent Assortment. These laws describe how traits are passed from parents to offspring.

The document discusses the key discoveries in DNA structure and replication. Frederick Griffith and Oswald Avery discovered that DNA, not protein, was the genetic material. Hershey and Chase showed that viruses inject DNA, not proteins, into bacteria. Chargaff determined DNA had equal ratios of bases and a double helix structure. Franklin discovered DNA was a helix, and Watson and Crick used this evidence to propose the double helix model of DNA structure. DNA consists of nucleotides with nitrogen bases that pair according to rules. Replication involves unwinding DNA with helicase, and polymerase adding nucleotides to copy the strands.
The document provides evidence from multiple sources supporting the theory of evolution by natural selection, including the fossil record, anatomical record, molecular record, and artificial selection. It describes how each line of evidence, such as homologous and vestigial structures, comparative embryology, DNA and protein comparisons, and examples of selective breeding, provides independent lines of confirmation that organisms are descended from common ancestors and have evolved over time.
The document contains questions from various biology bell quizzes covering topics like DNA, RNA, cells, genetics, evolution, and ecology. The quizzes assess students' understanding of key concepts through short answer and multiple choice questions testing their knowledge of topics such as the differences between DNA and RNA, stages of mitosis and meiosis, natural selection, and biomes. The document serves as a study guide for students by providing examples of the types of questions that may appear on biology exams.
The Grand Canyon separates two populations of squirrels, the Albert and Kaibab squirrels. The canyon acts as a geographic barrier that has led to allopatric speciation as the squirrel populations evolved independently on either side over time with limited gene flow between them.

Gregor Mendel conducted experiments with pea plants in the 1840s to understand inheritance of traits. He found that pea plants bred true for traits over generations, and that when he crossed plants with contrasting traits, one trait was dominant in the first generation offspring. In subsequent generations, the recessive trait re-emerged in a ratio of 1 in 4 offspring. His experiments led him to propose that factors (now called genes) are inherited independently and traits are inherited following rules of dominance and segregation.
Meiosis is necessary for sexual reproduction in most plants and animals. It results in the production of gametes or sex cells with half the normal number of chromosomes. This ensures that fertility can occur when gametes from two individuals fuse, restoring the full chromosome number. Meiosis involves two rounds of division that separate homologous chromosome pairs and then sister chromatids, resulting in four haploid cells from each original diploid cell.
This document provides instructions for modeling the process of meiosis using yarn and index cards. Students will cut yarn into pieces to represent chromosomes and tape them to index cards to demonstrate the stages of meiosis. They will label each card and arrange them to show the full process, including genetic segregation and crossing over. After building the model, students will explain meiosis to a classmate and have their classmate do the same. They will then answer questions about the results of each meiotic division and how meiosis leads to genetic variation.
Meiosis is a cell division process that produces gametes necessary for sexual reproduction. It results in four haploid cells from one original diploid cell. This is important as it ensures the zygote formed during fertilization is diploid. Meiosis involves two divisions, Meiosis I and Meiosis II. In Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair and may exchange genetic material before separating. Meiosis II is similar to mitosis, separating sister chromatids. Meiosis occurs in the gonads, creating sperm and egg cells with half the normal chromosome number to restore diploidy upon fertilization.
The cell cycle of normal chicken stomach cells takes longer than cancerous chicken stomach cells, with interphase lasting 120 minutes for normal cells compared to 16 minutes for cancerous cells. Each phase of mitosis is also shortened for cancerous cells, such as prophase taking 60 minutes for normal cells and only 15 minutes for cancerous cells.
The document provides a list of Latin prefixes and their definitions to be added to a vocabulary sheet. It then instructs students to match each prefix to its definition. As an assignment, students are asked to write a poem, song, or lyrics explaining how the prefixes relate to the stages of mitosis and the cell cycle. The prefixes are: inter (between), pro (earlier than), meta (later than), ana (upward or backward), and telo (ending).
The document provides a list of Latin prefixes - inter, pro, meta, ana, and telo - and their definitions. It then asks students to write a poem, song, or lyric explaining how these prefixes relate to the stages of mitosis and the cell cycle based on their meanings. Specifically, that "inter" refers to the time between cell division, "pro" refers to the early stage of mitosis, "meta" refers to the later stage of mitosis, "ana" refers to the sister chromatids pulling apart, and "telo" refers to the end of mitosis.
The document discusses cell reproduction through mitosis and its stages. It describes the stages of interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. During interphase, the cell grows and duplicates its DNA. In prophase, the nuclear envelope breaks down and spindle fibers form. In metaphase, chromosomes align in the center. In anaphase, chromosomes separate. In telophase, new nuclear envelopes form around separated chromosomes. Cytokinesis then divides the cell into two daughter cells.
