Flashcards for NZ NCEA Level 3 Biology, covering the three externally examined achievement standards: plant and animal responses to their external environment (91603), evolutionary processes leading to speciation (91605) and trends in human evolution (91606). Split into one subdeck per standard and then by topic. Delete or suspend any subdeck your course leaves out once the deck is yours.

Adding it gives you your own copy, with every subdeck below. Each card then comes back just before you would forget it, and every one you get right or wrong counts towards your mastery of its topic. You can delete or suspend the parts you are not studying once it is yours.

Some of its cards

  • Nastic response
    A plant's response to a stimulus whose direction of movement does not depend on the direction the stimulus comes from
  • The opening at the base of the skull through which the spinal cord passes
    Foramen magnum
  • A random change in an organism's DNA sequence
    Mutation
  • What feature of the hominin hand allows a precise grip between the thumb and fingertips?
    A fully opposable thumb
  • Give an advantage of the controlled use of fire for warmth.
    It let hominins survive in colder climates and during colder seasons
  • Biological clock
    An internal mechanism that lets an organism keep track of time and anticipate regular changes in its environment
  • Tropism
    A plant's directional growth response towards or away from a stimulus
  • Give an example of abstract thought in hominin cultural evolution, besides language.
    Symbolic art, such as painting or carving
  • A regular, often seasonal, movement of a population between two areas
    Migration
  • An interaction between individuals of the same species
    Intraspecific relationship
