Front 3

Dominant generation

In alternation of generations, the generation that occupies the largest portion of the lifecycle

Front 4

Undifferentiated cells

Back 4

Cells that have not specialized in any particular function

Front 5

Xylem

Back 5

A vascular tissue that carries substances upward in a plant

Front 6

Cohesion

Back 6

The phenomenon that occurs when individual molecules are so strongly attracted to each other that they tend to stay together, even when exposed to tension

Front 7

Nastic Movement

Back 7

Movement in a plant caused by changes in turgor pressure

Front 8

Perfect flowers

Back 8

flowers with both stamens and carpels

Front 9

Phototropisma

Back 9

a growth response to light

Front 10

Anadromous

Back 10

A lifecycle in which creatures are hatched in fresh water, migrate to salt water as adults, and then go back to fresh water in order to reproduce.

Front 11

Medulla oblongata

Back 11

The lobes that coordinate vital functions, such as those of the circulatory and respiratory systems, and transport signals from the brain to the spinal cord

Front 12

Notochord

Back 12

A rod of tough, flexible material that runs the length of a creature's body, providing the majority of its support.

Front 13

Optic lobes

Back 13

The regions of the brain that receive signals from the receptors in the eyes

Front 14

Viviparous development

Back 14

Development that occurs inside the female, allowing the offspring to gain nutrients and vital substances for the mother through a placenta

Front 15

Ovoviviparous development

Back 15

Development that occurs in an egg that is hatched inside the female's body
