osmosis

xylem

leaves

The amount of water in the measuring cylinder

length of the leafy shoot

amount of oil
 as the temperature increases the amount of water decreases

the rate of transpiration increases as the the temperature increases/rises

proteins and DNA organized into genes.

the nucleus and the sperm fuse together and form a fertilized egg cell

X = egg cell Y = sperm cell

Every egg has an X sex chromosome; a sperm can have either

an X or a Y sex chromosome
 variation

the cats look different because of there genes.

 pulse oximeters

how fast they run

the length of the track

stopwatch

4.

yes

the changing abundances of these fossils through time can tell us weather a

change in the environment or climate was gradual or abrupt

 By studying fossils, scientists can learn how much (or how little) organisms have

changed as lifedeveloped on Earth. There are gaps inthe fossil record because

many early forms of life were soft-bodied, which means that they have left few

traces behind.
