Which of the following describes a boreal forest? A biome occurring at high northern latitudes that is dominated by conifers that can withstand the long, cold winters
A blome in tropical regions where rain falls seasonally and broad-leaved trees dominate
A blome dominated by broad-leaved trees that flower and grow in warm seasons, Inen drop their leaves and become
dormant during cold winters
A biome dominated by a multilayered forest that occurs where warm temperatures and continual rains allow plant
growth year-round

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.

State officials are considering constructing a road through a forested wilderness area. this action will likely affect the forest ecosystem in various ways. part a: predict how the construction of a road could negatively affect plants and animals in that ecosystem. (3 points) part b: describe one way that the construction of a road could have a positive impact of the forest ecosystem. (1 point)
