9554955481	Tetrapod	Vertebrates that had limbs and can move on land (evolution)	0
9555013369	Oxidation	undergo or cause to undergo a reaction in which electrons are lost to another species (cells)	1
9555296565	Intravenous	existing or taking place within, or administered into, a vein or veins (cells)	2
9645795429	Dehydration Synthesis	(Cells) Condensation reaction where molecules are connected by loss of a water molecule.	3
9645803215	hydrolysis	(Cells) Reaction where water split into two hydrogens and one oxygen; this breaks a polymer.	4
9645818842	Innate Immunity	recognition of traits shared by broad rnages of pathogen, using a small set of receptors ex. skin (genetics)	5
9645833463	Adaptive Immunity	recognition of traits specific to particular pathogens ex. antibodies (genetics)	6
9645851894	artificial selection	Humans modifying species for desired traits through selective breeding (genetics)	7
9645862633	vestigial structures	Are little or no importance to organism, but remain from an ancestor (evolution)	8
9645875563	sexual recombination	Crossing over and shuffling of genes during meiosis (genetics)	9
9645886487	founder effect	When a small number of individuals colonize a new area; the new gene pool is not reflective of original population (genetics)	10
