Diploid: Diploid refers to two sets of chromosome per somatic cell in an organism. All multicellular organisms are made up of somatic cells that are diploid, such as this horse.
Ethylene: Ehtylene is a hormone in plants that causes them to become ripe, as shown in this photo.
Eukaryote: Eukaryote is used to describe any cell in an organism that contains a nucleus with DNA. Most animals such as this cow are eukaryotic.
Flock, Herd, or Schooling: When animals gather together and travel, they are said to be flocking, such as these fish at the Nimbus Fish Hatchery.
Behavior: Behavior generally refers to any action an organism does. In this picture, the ducks are behaving in a manner in which they are swimming close to each other.
Herbivory Responses: An herbivory response is a plant's response to a trend of being consumed by herbivores. They make adaptations, such as thorns (shown above), to keep herbivores away.
Mitosis: Mitosis is the splitting of somatic cells in multicellular organisms. Birds utilize this process for their somatic cells.
Pollinator: A pollinator is any organism that helps catalyze the sexual life cycle of plants. Bees help carry pollen from plant to plant to continue the sexual life cycle.
Seed Dispersal Method: Any way of moving seeds is referred to as a seed dispersal method. In this photo, the seeds can be moved by strong winds.
Phenotype: A phenotype is any physical characteristic that results from the genotype. In this photo, the phenotype of the plant's color resulted from its genotype.
