The cards Question What is reproduction? Tap to flip Answer The process that creates new individuals of a species. Question In biology, what does it mean to inherit a feature? Tap to flip Answer To have the feature passed on from parent to offspring. Question What is DNA? Tap to flip Answer The molecule that stores genetic information. Question What is variation? Tap to flip Answer Differences between individuals within a species. Question When organisms reproduce, what kind of offspring do they make? Tap to flip Answer Offspring of the same kind (the same species) as themselves. Question Why do offspring look similar to their parents and to one another? Tap to flip Answer They inherit features from both parents. Question How are some features passed from parents to offspring? Tap to flip Answer Through DNA passed on during reproduction. Question Besides inheritance, what can cause or change some of an organism's features? Tap to flip Answer Its lifestyle and environment. Question Are offspring usually identical to their parents or to one another? Tap to flip Answer No. There is usually variation, so they are not usually identical. Question Do boys inherit features only from their father? Tap to flip Answer No. Offspring inherit characteristics from both parents. Question Which are greater: differences between species or differences within a species? Tap to flip Answer Differences between species. Question In biology, what is an organism's environment? Tap to flip Answer The external space around the organism that influences it. Question In biology, what is lifestyle? Tap to flip Answer The choices an individual makes about how they live their life. Question Do all members of a species look exactly the same? Tap to flip Answer No. Members of the same species vary in their features. Question What is discontinuous variation? Tap to flip Answer Variation that is categorical: divided into particular categories. Question What is continuous variation? Tap to flip Answer Variation that can take any one of many values over a continuous range. Question In measuring variation, what is a value? Tap to flip Answer A number generated by a measurement, such as a measurement of mass or length. Question What type of graph is used to display discontinuous data? Tap to flip Answer A bar chart. Question In a bar chart, do the columns touch? Tap to flip Answer No. The columns are of equal width and do not touch. Question In a bar chart, what does the height of each column represent? Tap to flip Answer The tally or frequency for that category: how many times it was observed. Question What usually causes discontinuous variation? Tap to flip Answer Usually only genetics; it is not affected by environment or lifestyle. Question Which two types of graph can display continuous data? Tap to flip Answer A histogram or a line graph. Question What is a histogram? Tap to flip Answer A graph showing continuous data grouped into ranges and plotted as columns that touch. Question What is a line graph? Tap to flip Answer A graph showing continuous data plotted as points joined with a line. Question What usually influences continuous variation? Tap to flip Answer Many factors, including genetics, the environment and lifestyle.

How this deck was checked On 2026-11-02, every card was compared with its source: the lessons of Oak National Academy, a public body funded by England's Department for Education that publishes lessons for the national curriculum. Because the cards come from those lessons, no second source was sought. The comparison was done automatically, not by a teacher, so a card can still be wrong. Flash Feed is not affiliated with any source named here.
