One form in which scientists arrange data to analyze results is a GRAPH ____ 7. Pieces of information gained through experimentation are called DATA ____ 8. A limitation of a physical model is that IT DOES NOT ACT LIKE THE THING THAT IT REPRESENTS ____ 9. What does a scientific law tell you? WHAT HAPPENS, BUT NOT WHY IT HAPPENS ____ 10. A model that an engineer uses to test a product design is called PROTOTYPE ____ 11. Give an example of a negative unintended consequence of cell phone technology.

THE IDENTITY OF THE ORGANISM ____ 19. What happened that made it necessary for scientists to add new domains and kingdoms? THEY DISCOVERED NEW ORGANISMS ____ 20. The eight levels of classification, from general to specific, are DOMAIN, KINGDOM, PHYLUM, CLASS, ORDER, FAMILY, GENUS, AND SPECIES ____ 21. What can you find out by working through a dichotomous key in order? THE NAME OF THE ORGANISM ____ 22. The scientific name for the common house cat is Felis domesticus. What is its specific name? domesticus ____ 23. What would scientists do if they discovered organisms that could not fit into any of the four kingdoms of the domain Eukarya? CREATE A NEW KINGDOM ____ 24. Scientists classify organisms by ARRANGING THEM INTO ORDERLY GROUPS ____ 25. The scientific name for the European white water lily is Nymphaea alba.

ESTIVATION ____ 29. When individuals with different inherited characteristics in a population reproduce, what is the result? GENETIC VARIATION ____ 30. List the four parts of natural selection? OVERPRODUCTION, GENETIC VARIATION, STRUGGLE TO SURVIVE, AND SUCCESSFUL REPRODUCTION ____ 31. When insecticide-resistant insects reproduce, what do they do? THEY ARE ABLE TO PASS THEIR INSECTICIDE RESISTANT GENE TO THEIR OFFSPRING. ____ 32. What may happen to populations that lose genetic variation? THEY BECOME MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO BIRTH DEFECTS AND DISEASE. ____ 33. What is the final part of the process of natural selection? SUCCESSFUL REPRODUCTION ____ 34. The process by which individuals that are better adapted to their environment survive and reproduce more successfully than less well-adapted individuals is called NATURAL SELECTION ____ 35. Which kind of behavior do animals use to protect themselves and their territories, food, mates, and offspring? DEFENSIVE BEHAVIOR ____ 36.
