A desert plant called Kalanchoe can reproduce, either with sexual reproduction through flowers, or asexually by budding off miniature leaf and root clusters from its leaves. When buds are produced, they land on the ground, take root, and grow, genetically identical to the original. If budding is used for several years, a large area may be covered with these descendents from the same original plant. The resulting population of plants will

A species that is so important to its community (such as the sea otter) that their removal can dismantle a food web is termed a_________ species.

When two or more species depend on the same limited resource for survival,_________ occurs.

The starting point of a gene on the DNA where the RNA polymerase binds is called the

Mendel kept detailed records of the genetic traits of parent plants and their offspring plants. Among observations, he found that some traits were not expressed, whenever one particular allele was present. These masked traits can be referred to as

An example of a haploid cell is a

The survival of most organisms is immediately threatened if they live at the site of a catastrophic forest fire, volcanic eruption, or dust storm. These events, however, can launch soot, ash, or dust into different levels of the atmosphere, measurably lowering available sunlight at locations thousands of miles from the site. The _________ are most quickly and strongly impacted at these distances, with lack of growth and reproduction.
