Biology is the science of living things, from a single cell to a whole ecosystem. Every organism is built from cells and shaped by genes, the instructions passed from parent to offspring. Over long spans of time, small changes called mutations feed evolution, helping a species survive through adaptation to its habitat. This puzzle gathers eleven words that run through nearly every biology lesson.
The phrase word find turns up about as often as word search, so treat these 11 biology words as whichever you prefer.
Frequently asked questions
What is a mutation in this biology word search?
A MUTATION is a change in a gene. Some do nothing, but others create variation that EVOLUTION can act on over many generations.
How is biology different from a general science puzzle?
Biology focuses only on living things, so the answers center on the CELL, the GENE, and the SPECIES rather than physics or chemistry.
