Parents/Guardian –


I have reviewed my child’s activities and homework for the
week of 2/18/- 2/22/08.
I understand that is important for me to make sure that my
child is studying to be prepared for the Quiz on Tuesday
2/26/08, and has completed all assignments this week.

I understand if my child needs to retake a quiz that the
original quiz with corrected answers, signed by a parent,
must be turned in when the quiz is retaken on Wednesday
at lunch or Tuesday after school.

Significant problems have arisen in regards to students’
chewing gum and depositing the gum under the lab tables
instead of the garbage can at the door. Like the no tardies
½ hour detention policy, a student chewing gum in class will
receive a ½ detention notice that if not served will require
a parent/teacher/student/administrator conference. No
other notice will be given.

Vocabulary words Matching (9 – 18):
_____ Gene Pool
A. generally, a group of organisms living close to one another that interbreed
with one another and do not breed with other similar groups.
_____ Evolution
B. similar because of convergent evolution, and not because of common
ancestry, may have a similar function but a different structure.
_____ Population
C. physical appearance of an organism
_____ Artificial
Selection
D. adaptations some animals use as protection from predators by using colors
and markings to look like another animal.
_____ Mutation
E. all of the genes in a population. Any genes that could wind up in the same
individual through sexual reproduction.
_____ Analogous
structures
F. A process in which some individuals have genetically-based traits that
improve survival or reproduction and thus have more offspring surviving to
reproductive age than other individuals.
_____ Natural
selection
G. a change in a DNA sequence, usually occurring because of errors in
replication or repair.
_____ Phenotype
H. inherited from a common ancestor, may have a similar structure but
different function.
_____ Mimicry
I. changes in gene frequency in a population from one generation to the next.
_____ Homologous
structures
J. a process in which humans consciously select for or against particular
features in organisms.
