Closely examine each fossil then complete the table to record your observations which should include these details: Predicted kingdom: classify the fossil based on whether it shows the characteristics of a plant animal or fungi.

Physical characteristics: note the shape pattern any other physical features of the fossils.

Predictions about its environment: based on the features of the fossil what type of environment of the organism live in? was it aquatic organisms or land organisms? Did it require hot or cold climate?

Similar living organisms try to identify present organism that resembles your fossil what characteristics to the two orgasm share? What characteristics are different?

Match the types of competition to their descriptions.

Chapter 11.1 & 11.2 notes section 11.1 1. every living thing has a set of ? inherited from its parents. 2. after becoming a ? , mendel spent several years studying ? and mathematics at the university of vienna. 3. during sexual reproduction, male and female reproductive cells join, a process known as ? . 4. pea flowers are normally ? , which means that sperm cells in pollen fertilize the egg cells in the ? flowers. 5. when mendel crossed plants with ? characters for the same trait, the resulting offspring had only one of the characters. 6. a ? is a specific characteristic, such as seed color or plant height, that varies from one individual to another. 7. filius and filia are the latin words for ? and ? . 8. the offspring of crosses between parents with different traits are called ? . 9.to mendel's surprise, all of the offspring had the character of only ? of the parents. 10. mendel's first conclusion was that biological inheritance is determined by ? that are ? from one generation to the next. 11. scientist calls the chemical factors that determine traits ? . 12. mendel's second conclusion is the ? . 13. the principle of dominance states that some alleles are ? and others are ? . 14. when mendel allowed the f1 plants to reproduce by self-pollination the traits controlled by ? alleles reappeared in about ? of the f2 plants in each cross.
