Evolution & Ecology
This process explains how heat-tolerant corals became more common due to environmental pressure.
➡️ What is natural selection?
These base pairs require more energy to separate due to having three hydrogen bonds.
➡️ What are guanine-cytosine pairs?
This molecule is embedded in the plasma membrane and helps regulate fluidity.
➡️ What is cholesterol?
The variable measured in response to nitrogen and phosphorus levels in eutrophication studies.
(I will show you the graph)
➡️ What is chlorophyll a concentration?
The process amylase uses to break down polymers by adding water.
➡️ What is hydrolysis?
This explains why guard squirrels risk their lives to warn relatives.
➡️ What is kin selection?
Occurs when mRNA is translated while still being transcribed.
*You do not know this one, so I will explain
➡️ What is coupled transcription and translation (in prokaryotes)?
Small nonpolar molecules cross membranes using this process.
➡️ What is simple diffusion?
Used to determine if observed vs expected data differ significantly.
➡️ What is a chi-square test?
Variable intentionally changed in an experiment.
➡️ What is the independent variable?
Similarity between sugar gliders and flying squirrels despite genetic differences.
➡️ What is convergent evolution?
A mutation causing a shorter protein most likely introduced this.
➡️ What is a premature stop codon?
Organelle membranes where light reactions occur.
➡️ What are thylakoid membranes?
(lumen is also acceptable)
Condition when allele frequencies remain constant over generations.
➡️ What is Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
Conclusion when chi-square value is less than critical value.
➡️ What is fail to reject the null hypothesis?
Why Cavendish bananas (or any species) are vulnerable to disease.
➡️ What is low genetic diversity?
RNA molecules that form part of ribosome structure.
➡️ What is rRNA?
Function of membrane projections in kidney cells.
➡️ What is increased surface area for exchange?
Crossing AaBbCc × AaBbCc, probability of aabbcc offspring.
➡️ What is 1/64?
Role wolves played in Yellowstone ecosystem recovery.
➡️ What is a keystone species?
Mechanism cells use to stop gene expression when protein levels are high.
➡️ What is repression via regulatory proteins?
Why glucose requires a transport protein.
➡️ What is it is large and polar?
Inheritance pattern of protoporphyria shown in pedigree.
(I will show you the pedigree)
➡️ What is X-linked dominant inheritance?
