6. Continuous variation

  • A section of DNA that contains information to make one protein
  • A distinct mark, feature or property of an individual or population
  • Gradual changes in a characteristic, such as height
  • The shape of DNA found in the nucleus of a cell

7. Gene

  • A section of DNA that contains information to make one protein
  • Big variations that can be put into separate categories, such as eye colour
  • A distinguishing quality or characteristic acquired from ones' ancestors that can be passed on to offspring
  • When no more of a particular species are alive anymore

8. Biodiversity

  • When no more of a particular species are alive anymore
  • Differences between individuals of the same species caused by genetic variation or envrionmental effects
  • The range of different species in an area
  • A long string of DNA that contains thousands of genes (there are 46 in humans)

9. 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

10. Inherited variation

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

11. 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

12. DNA

  • A long string of DNA that contains thousands of genes (there are 46 in humans)
  • The chemical that contains information to make organisms
  • The shape of DNA found in the nucleus of a cell
  • The range of different species in an area

13. Variation

  • A long string of DNA that contains thousands of genes (there are 46 in humans)
  • A distinct mark, feature or property of an individual or population
  • Differences between individuals of the same species caused by genetic variation or envrionmental effects
  • A distinguishing quality or characteristic acquired from ones' ancestors that can be passed on to offspring

14. Double helix

  • A distinguishing quality or characteristic acquired from ones' ancestors that can be passed on to offspring
  • A distinguishing quality or characteristic acquired from a change in the environment and cannot be passed on to offspring
  • 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
