Review - Semester 2 Final

Passing on Traits

100

This is the physical trait seen in the organism.

What is the phenotype?

200

The genotype for the true-breeding dominant round trait in pea plants would be this.

What is homozygous dominant (RR)?

300

For a recessive genetic disorder, this is the probability that a homozygous dominant mom and a heterozygous dad will produce a child with the disorder.

What is 0%?

400

In a pedigree, this indicates that an organism shows the trait.

What is a shaded in square or circle?

500

For a recessive genetic disorder, this is the probability the offspring of two heterozygous parents will be carriers of the trait. 

What is 50%

Synthesizing Proteins

100

These are the nitrogenous bases of DNA.

What are guanine, cytosine, thymine, and adenine?

200

AUG was transcribed from this DNA sequence.

What is TAC?

300

This amino acid is coded from UCA.

What is SER?

400

This is the process when DNA is convered to mRNA.

What is transcription?

500

This is the location of translation.

What is the ribosome?

Energy!!

100

The arrows in a food web always point to this.

What is the predator (consuming the energy)?

200

Glucose produced in photosynthesis is converted to this usable form of energy.

What is ATP?

300

Where is most energy stored in an ATP molecule?

What is in the phosphate bonds?

400

What happens when an ATP molecule loses a phosopate?

What is it turns into ADP?

500

What are the products of photosynthesis?

What are glucose and oxygen?

Cells Replicate and Divide

100

In this process, exact copies (with the same genetic information) of the parent cells are made. 

What is mitosis?

200

During this phase of the cell cycle, DNA is replicated. 

What is the S phase?

300

What kinds of cells does meiosis create?

What are gametes (egg and sperm)?

400

DNA replication is considered this because the two strands of DNA separate and one strand is used as a template to build a new strand.

What is semi-conservative?

500

These types of cells divide so rapidly that the cell doesn't spend much time in interphase.

What are cancer cells?

All Things Evolution

100

This process is the mechanism for evolution.  It allows the most fit organisms to survive and pass on their traits.

What is natural selection?

200

Who is the father of natural selection?

Who is Charles Darwin?

300

This is when there is a rapid change in the environment which causes quick speciation of organisms living in that environment.

What is punctuated equilibrium?

400

This type of structure is present but no longer used by an organism.

What is a vestigial structure?

500

In a phylogenetic tree, this represents where species diverged or is the branching point.

What is a node?
