Classification, Variation and Adaptation

?

1. Discontinuous variation

  • When no more of a particular species are alive anymore
  • Big variations that can be put into separate categories, such as eye colour
  • A section of DNA that contains information to make one protein
  • The way in which an organism is suited to the environment in which it lives

2. Adaptation

  • The chemical that contains information to make organisms
  • The shape of DNA found in the nucleus of a cell
  • The way in which an organism is suited to the environment in which it lives
  • Big variations that can be put into separate categories, such as eye colour

3. Inherited variation

  • A distinguishing quality or characteristic acquired from ones' ancestors that can be passed on to offspring
  • The range of different species in an area
  • When no more of a particular species are alive anymore
  • Gradual changes in a characteristic, such as height

4. Chromosome

  • Differences between individuals of the same species caused by genetic variation or envrionmental effects
  • A section of DNA that contains information to make one protei
  • A long string of DNA that contains thousands of genes (there are 46 in humans)
  • The range of different species in an area

5. Environmental variation

  • A distinguishing quality or characteristic acquired from a change in the environment and cannot be passed on to offspring
  • Gradual changes in a characteristic, such as height
  • The shape of DNA found in the nucleus of a cell
