A science investigation is a piece of work done into finding out how changing a certain variable affects another variable as a result. It involves lots of different sections built together.
One possibility could be a car which doesn't start. The hypothesis could be that the car doesn't start because the battery is dead. The experiment would be to change the battery or to charge the battery and then check whether the car starts or not. If it starts, the problem was due to the battery, and the hypothesis is accepted.
One example of how applied science has had a direct effect on daily life is the presence of vaccines. Vaccines to prevent diseases such polio, measles, tetanus, and even influenza affect daily life by contributing to individual and societal health.
During a lab when you are using dangerous chemicals that could splash in your eyes
During your walk, you may begin to perspire, which cools your body and helps your body to maintain a constant internal temperature. You might also become thirsty and pause long enough for a cool drink, which will help to restore the water lost during perspiration.
Researchers can approach biology from the smallest to the largest, and everything in between. For instance, an ecologist may study a population of individuals, the population's community, the community's ecosystem, and the ecosystem's part in the biosphere. When studying an individual organism, a biologist could examine the cell and its organelles, the tissues that the cells make up, the organs and their respective organ systems, and the sum total—the organism itself.

Topics that fall inside the area of biological study include how diseases affect human bodies, how pollution impacts a species' habitat, and how plants respond to their environments. Topics that fall outside of biology (the "study of life") include how metamorphic rock is formed and how planetary orbits function.
behavior that an animal is NOT born knowing how to do and must be taught
Regions of Gene code for large molecule
hidden gene in offspring; only shows if offspring receives a recessive trait from both parents
Both traits are equally dominant so offspring show both traits
Austrailian monk that investigated inherited traits in peas by studying the parent plants
Having two identical alleles for a particular gene
born knowing how to do without being taught such as feeding, migrating, hibernating, blinking, swallowing, and building a nest or burrowing
characteristics that are passed from parents to offspring
Type of anaerobic respiration used by organisms such as yeast that use glycolysis to make 2 ATP and ethyl alcohol
Traits that are carried on the X chromosome. Disorders are more common in males since they only have one X chromosome.
An organism's genetic makeup, or allele combinations.
Converting glucose into ATP without the presence of oxygen.
