Please, this BIOLOGY question is A LOT of points on my test. Thank you. Species of crocodiles alive today are much smaller than in previous eras of the earth. An early theory as to why crocodiles became smaller was centered around limited food availability, a newer theory now suggests climate temperatures could be an important factor. For this problem, we will examine the food scarcity theory.

Explain how crocodiles might have changed over time based on the theory that there was limited food availability. Include in your explanation of change how Natural Selection may have played a role, including all four requirements of Natural Selection (Variation, Heritability, Overproduction, Reproductive Advantage)

What process allows for the development of haploid sex cells? mitosis meiosis fertilization pollination

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.
