| Complementary | Being complements of each other; acute angles that equal a right angle. |
| Diffusion | The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. |
| Mutation | A change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA |
| Conclusion | Inference; the necessary consequence of two or more propositions taken as premises. |
| Consecutive | Following one after another in line. |
| Natural Selection | Survival of the fittest. |
| Adhesion | Tendency of water molecules to stick to other polar substances. |
| Contradict | To imply the opposite or a denial |
| Correlation | A relation existing between mathematical or statistical variables which tends to vary |
| Density | A measure of a substance's mass per unit volume. |
| Solution | A mixture in which one substance dissolves in another. |
| Corresponding | Having or participating in the same relationship with regards to the same or like wholes. |
| Dependent | A mathematical variable whose value is determined by that of one or more other variables in a function. |
