Big Idea 3

41. Diploid- a cell that contains two full sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.  This egg has the entire necessary DNA to be an organism.

42. Ethylene- a hydrocarbon gas that is flammable, it is found in most things human use a fuel (coal, gas, and crude oil). This gas tank uses oil to power this car.

43. Gamete- a sex(haploid) cell that is mature enough to merge with a gamete of the opposite sex to form a zygote.  These two halves of potatoes are half of what it takes to make a whole potato, so each half is like a gamete, since a gamete has only half the amount of parental DNA.

44. Genetically modified organism- an organism who's genetic material has been altered due to genetic engineering. This blood orange has been genetically modified to become this large.

45. Mimicry (Batesian)- an organism that isn't dangerous, but resembles something that is dangerous so it's not eaten.  The hot sauce on the left is made of ghost peppers, which would be the dangerous animal, but the one on the right isn’t spicy at all, which would be the one that is mimicking because they are both hot sauces, but only one is dangerous.

46. Mitosis- cell division that occurs in every cell, but sex cells, daughter cells have the same amount and type of genetic material as the parents.  This insect is in a cocoon, where cell division is taking place.

47. Phenotype- the external characteristics that are observable because of an organisms genetic makeup.  All fuji apples have the same greenish reddish tint like this one does.

48. Pollinator- an organism, usually an insect that transports pollen from one plant to another, therefore fertilizing the plants. This yellow bell was pollinated by a pollinator, such as a bee.

49. Seed dispersal method- the way that the parental plant can spread its progeny since plants have no mobility. These seed pods carry the seed when they are carried by the wind.

50. Tropism- the way a plant positions itself in regard to a stimulus, usually the sun.  This arum apulum is leaning to the left, which is where the window and therefore where the sun is.
