Outcomes:

• Determine which mutations are favored by the selection agents of predators and food variety and which mutations are neutral.
• Describe which traits change the survivability of an organism in different environments.
• Experiment with environments which produce a stable population of bunnies, a population that dies out, and a population that takes over the world.
• Track genes through multiple generations.
• Compare how dominant and recessive genes get passed onto offspring.

This is a short tutorial on how to define and measure the perimeter of shapes

By the end of this course you will be able to:

1. Define the terms perimeter and area
2. Find the perimeter of any polygon
3. Find the perimeter and area of a trapezium, parallelogram, rectangle and square
4. Find the area of a triangle
5. Find the perimeter and area of a circle

Meiosis is a process that creates sex cells (gametes) with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. Meiosis has two stages: meiosis I and meiosis II. In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material (crossing over). In meiosis II, sister chromatids separate, creating four haploid cells.

How homologous chromosomes separate into two sets. Prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, and telophase I.

Skeletons support and protect our bodies. Bugs have exoskeletons outside their bodies, while humans have endoskeletons inside. Our bones are in axial (skull, ribcage, spine) and appendicular (arms, legs) groups. Bone marrow makes blood cells; more specifically, red marrow makes blood and yellow marrow stores fat.
