Mitosis/Meiosis
Place the following stages of mitosis in order:
-Metaphase
-Prophase
-Cytokinesis
-Telophase
-Interphase
-Anaphase
The stages of mitosis in order are:
1. Interphase
2. Prophase
3. Metaphase
4. Anaphase
5. Telophase
6. Cytokinesis
What are the 3 parts of a nucleotide?
Nitrogenous base, pentose sugar, and a phosphate group.
How do anatomical similarities support the theory of Evolution?
Anatomical similarities between organisms support the idea that organisms all evolved from a common ancestor.
What's the difference between biotic and abiotic factors?
Abiotic factors are non-living chemical and physical factors in the environment that affect ecosystems. While, biotic factors are living components of an ecosystem.
A cycle that's fueled by photosynthesis and transport, that exchanges carbon among the biosphere, pedosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere.
The Carbon Cycle
Which process makes somatic cells?
Mitosis
Name the two nitrogen bases in DNA and what they bond to
Adenine is paired to thymine and guanine is paired to cytosine
Explain geographic and reproductive isolation.
Geographic isolation is when biological populations of the same species become isolated from each other to the extent that it interferes with the geneflow. Reproductive isolation is where different species might live in the same area, but the properties of individuals prevent them from interbreeding.
Commensalism
This cycle is when nitrogen is converted to several chemical forms as it circulates among the atmosphere, terrestrial, and marine ecosystems.
The nitrogen cycle
This cell contains two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent
Diploid
What is the difference between genotype and phenotype?
The genotype is the set of genes an organism carries. The phenotype is all of the observable characteristics it has.
What can we infer from fossil records? Where do you find the oldest/youngest fossils?
What is known as a symbiotic relationship between species where one organism, the parasite, lives on or in the other organism, the host, causing the host some harm and is adapted to this way of life.
Parasitism
This is the level an organism lies on the food chain
Trophic level
Mitosis: 36 were made as a result at the end, with 36 as a result.
Meiosis: 9 were made as a result at the end, with 18 as a result.
Where is DNA found in a prokaryotic cell or eukaryotic cell?
In eukaryotic cells, DNA is found in the nucleus. In prokaryotic cells, DNA is found in the cytoplasm in areas of the cytoplasm called the nucleoid.
How are variations and natural selection related?
Genetic variation is essential for natural selection because natural selection can only increase or decrease the frequency of alleles that already exist in the population.
What is known as the ecological interaction between two or more species where each species has a net benefit.
Mutualism
This cycle consists of the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth.
The Water Cycle
This cell has a single set of unpaired chromosomes
Haploid
What's the difference between homozygous and heterozygous?
Homozygous means two copies of the same allele (either 2 dominants or 2 recessives), while heterozygous has one dominant and one recessive allele.
Explain descent with modification
The mutation of genes into other forms as a result of natural variation, occurring when the offspring's genetic information is first generated, rather than over a lifetime of mutation.
What role do decomposers play in the environment?
Decomposers break down dead organisms and recycle the nutrients.
