Cells
The powerhouse of the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
When both alleles can be observed in a phenotype.
What is co-dominance?
The complete collection of microorganisms in the human body's ecosystem.
What is the human microbiome?
These animals regulate their body temperature internally and are often called “warm-blooded.”
What are endotherms?
A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment.
What is an ecosystem
PMAT
What is the acronym for mitosis?
OR
What are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase?
The basic units of a DNA molecule, composed of a sugar, a phosphate, and one of 4 DNA bases.
What are nucleotides
A burst of evolutionary origins when most major animal body plans appeared in a relatively short period, recorded in the fossil record about 545 to 525 million years ago.
What is the Cambrian explosion?
This group of mammals lays eggs instead of giving live birth.
What are monotremes?
This type of viral infection immediately replicates the virus and causes the host cell to burst.
What is a lytic infection?
During this phase of interphase, DNA is replicated
What is the (S) synthesis phase?
In DNA, cytosine always pairs with this base.
What is guanine?
cell-to-cell communication within biofilms that determines whether there are enough cells to perform a task.
What is quorum sensing?
This type of competition occurs when organisms indirectly compete for the same limited resource.
What is exploitive competition?
This process uses sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen in plants.
This form of asexual reproduction is common in bacteria and creates two roughly equal daughter cells.
What is binary Fission
The recombination of genes in an offspring results in a genetic makeup that is different from that of its parents.
What is genetic recombination?
This plant hormone promotes stem elongation and is responsible for phototropism.
What is auxin?
The ecological rule states that no two species can occupy the same exact niche in the same habitat at the same time
What is competitive exclusion?
This evolutionary process occurs when one ancestral species rapidly evolves into many different species adapted to different environments.
What is adaptive radiation?
These are proteins that help package DNA.
What are histones?
The law states that the two alleles of a gene are separated during meiosis and end up in different gametes.
What is Mendel's law of segregation?
The process by which paramecia and some prokaryotes exchange genetic information.
What is conjugation?
This flexible rod-like structure supports the body in all chordates at some stage of development.
What is the notocord?
This organelle modifies, packages, and transports proteins after they leave the ribosomes.
What is the Golgi body?
