Gene Regulation
Central Dogma of Biology
DNA--RNA--Protein
These 5 things are reasons for allele/gene frequency changes in a population
Small Population, Non-random mating, mutations, gene flow, adaptations(natural selection)
Energy flow in ecosystems follows this rule for how much energy is passed up from one trophic level to the next
10% rule
These two things are added to pre-mRNA during RNA processing
5' Cap and Poly A Tail
An anatomical feature that doesn't seem to have a purpose in the current form of an organism
Vestigial Structure
Bacteria in the ground play an important role in this elemental cycle
Nitrogen Cycle
These proteins remove introns before ligase glues the remaining exons together
Spliceosomes
Convergent evolution is associated with these types of structures
Analogous Structures
An extremely important species that plays a crucial role in how an ecosystem functions
Keystone Species
This is where RNA Polymerase binds to, before initiating transcription
Promotor
Grouping organisms based on shared characteristics--can also be based on DNA/Morphology
Cladistics
Role, function, or boundaries of an organism that help it compete against other organisms
Niche
This protein must be used to create a DNA strand that lacks introns when transforming a prokaryotic plasmid/genome
Reverse Transcriptase
These prevent different species from mating and produce a zygote. An example is temporal isolation
Prezygotic Barriers
K-selected strategists usually follow this type of survivorship curve
Type 1
