Big Idea 3

9. Flock, herd, or schooling: This flock of flamingos stand in groups while they rest near their water source.

14. Mimicry; This is an example of mullerian mimicry in that this poisonous frog mimics other poisonous frogs to multiply their chance of dangerous reputation in the eyes of predators.

13. Mimicry (Batesian): This is an example of batesion mimicry because this non-poisonous frog mimics poisonous frogs in order to be considered dangerous by predators without actually being a real threat.

17. Phenotype: This berry trait is an example of a phenotype, something controlled by genes that we can actually see and observe.

18. Pollinator: Lemurs like this have been known from time to time to pollinate certain flowering plants.

20. Seed Dispersal Method: This interesting collection of plant components has an abundance of seeds in it. Interestingly enough, it seems it has been partially chewed by some organism. It has moved seeds from the plants location.

21. Tropism: This is a prime example of tropism, the movement towards or away from a stimulus such as light, heat, or most probable in this case, wind.

15. Mitosis: This lizard is constantly going through mitosis, duplicating its cells and stimulating growth.

6. Haploid: This plant is a haploid because it lacks a set of chromosomes from a mother and a father and is simply a duplication of a gamete.

1. Diploid: This plant is a haploid because it has a set of chromosomes from a mother and a father an is a 2n organisms.
