Main Idea 3

Eukaryote- Any organism whose cells have a nucleus and other bound organelles. This is a bunny which is a multi-cellular eukaryotic organism since its cells have a nucleus and bound organelles.

Phenotype- Visible characteristics of an organism as a result of its genotype. This is an unattached earlobe which is a phenotype of a certain genotype which allows the dominant trait of the unattached earlobe.

Pollinator- An agents that carries pollen from one flower to another. This is a bee which carries pollen on its hairs, thus pollinating many plants and making it a pollinator.

Seed Dispersal Method- The movement of seeds away from the parent plant. This is blackberry bush which has the blackberry which has the seeds within. An animal would come and eat the blackberry thus carrying the seeds until the point when the animal defecates. The feces would carry the seeds and thus the plant would grow in a different location.

Behavior- Reactions of organisms to internal and external stimuli. This Yorkshire terrier responds to the treat behind the camera and does the trick in order to receive the treat.

Tropism- Turning or bending away from a stimulus as a negative response. This is a pin which when it pokes someone, they will back away a response to the pain. This is tropism in response to the prick of the pin.

     

      Genetically Modified Organism- Also known as a GMO, an organism whose characteristics have been altered using genetic engineering. Corn is one of the most common GMOs which have been engineered to be resistant to pests.

Herbivory Responses- An adaptation a plant takes on in order to prolong survival. This is a Pink Betty which has adapted to have poisonous leaves in order to prevent animals from eating its leaves as a herbivory response to predators.

Evidence of Different Alleles-Differentiation of characteristics on one trait. This is blood. Due to different alleles, people will have different blood types depending on their parent's blood types and sets of alleles.
