Front

What is the genotype ratio when a homozygous dominant dog (BB) is crossed with a heterozygous dog (Bb)?

Back

50% BB and 50% Bb

Front

What type of environmental stress is caused by the use of pesticides and clear-cutting a forest?

Front

What is the process called that humans have used for centuries to create purebred animals?

Back

Selective breeding

Front

What is the primary function of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

Define homozygous. Give an example.

Back

Having two identical alleles for a trait; for example, BB or bb.

Front

Define heterozygous. Give an example.

Back

Having two different alleles for a trait; for example, Bb.

Front

What is the role of sunlight in photosynthesis?

Back

It provides the energy needed to convert CO2 and H2O into glucose.

Front

What is the difference between a food chain and a food web?

Back

A food chain is a linear sequence of organisms, while a food web is a complex network of interconnected food chains.
