Evolution
100
The passing of characteristics to offspring.
What is heredity?
100
Cross with one trait.

100
Code for all proteins made in body

100
To copy using the same DNA language of nitrogen bases
What is the definition of “transcribe?”
100
Mimicry and Camouflage
What are two structural adaptations that provide evidence of evolution?
200
Was the "Father of Genetics", began first studies of heredity.
Who was Gregor Mendel?
200
Cross with two traits at the same time.
What is a dihybrid cross?
200
Basically everything
What do proteins accomplish in an organism?
200
To take from DNA language of bases to create a different "amino acid" language
What is the definition of “translate?”
200
Change in metabolic process
What does physiological adaptation mean?
300
Portions of DNA that determine traits.
What are genes?
300
It is a quick way to find genotypes in upcoming generations.

300
Deoxyribonucleic Acid
What does DNA stand for?
300
List of linkages between nucleotide triplets and the amino acids they code.
What is the genetic code?
300
Structure similar between organism due to a common ancestor
What is a homologous structure?
400
Combining gametes from parents with different traits.
What does it mean to cross two organisms?
400
An individual that is a double heterozygote.
What is a dihybrid?
400
Thymine, Adenine, Guanine, and Cytosine
What are the four bases in DNA?
400
Coiled up DNA
What is a chromosome?
400
When organisms randomly survive longer than others and pass on their genes
What is genetic drift?
500
A dominant trait is the trait that will always expressed if at least one dominant allele is present.
What does the rule of dominance state?
500
Genes for different traits are inherited independently from each other
What is the law of independent assortment?
500
Single strand, Ribose sugar, and contains no thymine but uracil instead.
What are three characteristics of RNA?
500
Incorrect number of chromosomes.
What causes most chromosomal abnormalities?
