I have completed the vocabulary for this unit and I have studied it.
I have completed the online Science Focus practice quizzes for this unit.
I have reviewed my Topic 1-2 and 3-5 tests.
I have taken the practice Biodiversity test on the Quest aplus site and taken the
Science Focus online quizzes.
I have studied the notes for each topic in this chapter (posted on the Cochrane
High website).
Why is there such a variety in the shape of the beaks of the different finches
Darwin identified on the Galapagos?
What is the formula to calculate the diversity index?
Which ecosystem has the most diversity – Ecosystem A with a diversity index =
0.74 or Ecosytem B with a diversity index of 0.47?
Why?
Why is an area with a high diversity index healthier than an area with a low
diversity index?
I can identify adaptations as structural or behavioral. Two examples of
structural adaptations are _____________________, ______________________. Two
examples of behavioral adaptations are __________________________________ ,
________________________________________.
What is symbiosis? Explain and give an example of the 3 types of symbiosis.
Why do the ecosystems in the Canadian north have relatively low diversity?
Why can the warblers shown on page 18 coexist in the same tree?
What is the difference between a broad and narrow niche? A specialist has a
______________________niche. A generalist has a ______________________ niche.
Draw the Earth and show the pattern of where we find countries with the most,
medium, and least biological diversity. Explain why we see this pattern.
What are the male reproductive parts of a flower and their functions?
What are the female reproductive parts of a flower and their functions?
What is the difference between external and internal fertilization?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?
What is the difference between sexual and asexual reproduction? What are the
advantages and disadvantages of each?
Describe the 4 types of asexual reproduction and name the organisms that use
each type.
Describe the 4 types of sexual reproduction.
What are the advantages of spores?
I know that bacterial conjugation transfers genetic material, but does not result
in the development of new cells. How does bacterial conjugation transfer
genetic material?
What is the difference between pollination and fertilization in plants?
What is the difference between continuous and discrete variation? Give 2

examples of each.
Your friend says that if a trait has a high frequency in a population it has to be
dominant. Is this is true or false. Defend your answer!
What is polydactyly? Is it a dominant or a recessive trait?
What is a mutagen? What does a mutagen do? Give 2 examples of a mutagen.
How can a child have blue eyes even if both of his parents have brown eyes and
we know that brown eyes is a dominant trait?
Give an example of 2 traits that can be affected by both heredity and the
environment.
Make a Punnett Square of the offspring of two parents, one of which has 2
dominant genes for brown eyes and one that is a hybrid for brown eyes. What
will the offspring look like?
Make a Punnett Square that would have 75% of the offspring have brown eyes,
and 25% of the offspring have blue eyes.
Why are studies of identical twins are important in the study of heredity?
Study the table we made to compare meiosis and mitosis. Show the differences
between meiosis and mitosis using labeled diagrams.
Human body cells have ______ chromosomes and ________ pairs of chromosomes.
Human sex cells (gametes) have __________ chromosomes and ________ pairs of
chromosomes
What is DNA? What is it’s function?
Draw a labeled diagram that shows the parts of the DNA molecule (nucleotide,
nitrogen bases, gene and which nitrogen base always pair together).
When a gene is read it codes for a __________________________.
Explain the theory of natural selection. Who figured out this theory?
Summarize in words or a diagram the story of the peppered moth (pg. 65 Did
You Know) and how human activity influenced natural selection by causing
changes in the environment.
Which animal is the most abundant on Earth (mammals. birds, insects, reptiles,
birds, fish, mollusks (clams, mussels)?
Explain what competition is and how it affects the survival of species.
What is the difference between natural and artificial selection. Give an example
of each. What is genetic engineering? Give an example.
List at least 4 ways humans are protecting biological diversity.
