Why is the scientific method bad? It is oversimplified, it implies that an experiment
can answer a research question. Science isn't
linear. It implies science is an independent effort,
no creativity or imagination, and it ignores
technology and society
What is a theory? Theories are broad explanations. They are
supported by lines o evidence, with no
contradictory evidence. Therefore the
evolutionary theory isn't just a "theory"
Why don't community analysis and You get peer revisions and discuss with
feedback insure the accuracy of colleagues. During these discussions, you can
scientific information? come up with new ideas and build theories
, What are (6) examples that all living 1. have organized structures made of at least one
things must do? cell
2. respond to stimuli
3.reproduce, even through adaptions by natural
selection
4. Grow and develop
5. Maintain Homeostasis
6. Process energy
What is a Prokaryotic cell? Has a cell membrane but no nucleus, and no
mitochondria
What is a Eukaryotic cell? Has a cell membrane, nucleus, and mitochondria.
Eukaryotic cells are also larger than Prokaryotic
What are examples of Prokaryotes? Bacteria or Archaea
What are examples of Eukaryotes? Animals and Plants
What is a mutation? Mutation, or microevolution, is a change in DNA
sequence caused by errors in DNA replication or
mutagens, which can be environmental factors
like UV radiation. It must be a sperm or an egg to
be passed on. Some consequences could be
there is no change in phenotype, beneficial, or
increase fitness or negative, decrease fitness
What occurs during natural There is first genetic variation of the population.
selection? Then differential reproduction, then hereditary
difference, then change across generations in
gene pools, phenotypes, and population's fitness.
(Biological fitness is the degree to which an
individual can reproduce and have its genes
represented in the next generations)
