Cell Energy
Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration work together to transform energy from ________ to _________.
Solar / chemical (ATP)
Transfer RNA, or tRNA, is capable of carrying these important molecules, which are the basic building blocks of proteins.
Amino Acids
During Mitosis, chromosomes are lined up along the equator of the cell. This phase is called...
Metaphase
This term is used to describe a version of a gene.
Allele
Which type of physical evidence of evolution is the most universal?
Comparative Biochemistry (DNA and Proteins)
In cellular respiration, the electron transport chain is powered by energy from the oxidation of electron carriers. In photosynthesis, the electron transport chain is powered by sunlight exciting electrons in...
chlorophyll
Due to the antiparallel nature of DNA, the leading strand will be the side in which the DNA polymerase moves (toward / away from) the replication fork.
Toward
A chromosome can be X-shaped or line-shaped. If it is X-shaped, then it is made of two _____________ connected at the centromere.
sister chromatids
3/16
Exterminators spray poisons to kill insect pests. A species of termite has evolved a resistance to the poisons. They are not affected by the poisons. This is a result of what type of selection?
Natural Selection
product / reactant
A point mutation that results in an amino acid change is called a...
Missense Mutation
Before any cell division process, DNA will get replicated. How many times is DNA replicated before mitosis AND how many times is DNA replicated before meiosis?
1 / 1
If a mother who is heterozygous for Type B blood and a father who is heterozygous for Type B blood have a baby, what are the odds that the baby will be homozygous for Type B blood?
25%
In a lake, guppies are eaten by the pike fish. The larger the guppy, the more difficulty it has escaping its pike fish predator. Over time, this will result in which type of selection (directional, stabilizing, or disruptive)?
Directional Selection
What is the full name of ATP?
Adenosine Triphosphate
What is the name of the enzyme that both separates DNA strands and adds RNA nucleotides during the process of transcription?
RNA Polymerase
A mistake in cell division that can result in gametes with an extra chromosome or a missing chromosome, is called...
Nondisjunction
An X-linked trait will affect males and females differently. If a condition is X-linked dominant, will it be more likely to show up amongst males or females?
males
Certain large snakes actually have tiny hind-leg bones (spurs) buried in their muscles, a nod to their lizard-like ancestors. What term can be used to describe these spurs?
Vestigial Structures
When protons move through the ATP synthase and promote the production of ATP, the protons are moving via this type of cell transport.
Diffusion (passive transport)
The three bases of tRNA that are complementary to bases of mRNA are called...
anticodon
While humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes in a diploid cell, dogs have 39 pairs of chromosomes in a diploid cell. How many autosomes does a dog have in a typical diploid cell?
76
Red flowers are dominant to white flowers. If there are 356 red flowers in a population of 500, then the frequency of red flowered individuals can be represented in Hardy-Weinberg-speak as...
p2+2pq
Humans and octopuses are both highly intelligent organisms. They both developed intelligent brains, but their brains are structured wildly differently. Humans have brains with bilateral symmetry, and octopuses have brains with radial symmetry. A human brain and an octopus brain are considered __________ structures.
