100
A possible answer to a scientific question; usually presents the independent and dependent variable and the relationship between them.
Hypothesis
100
These simple molecules form the basis of all proteins
amino acids
100
The 4 bases found in DNA.
A, T, G & C
100
describe the alleles present for a characteristic and are always described using letters e.g. Bb, bb, BB
Genotypes
100
The process that occurs during meiosis I that leads to genetic variation in the resulting daughter cells
Crossing over
200
This RNA is transcribed from a section of DNA and later leaves the nucleus in order to be translated into an amino acid chain.
mRNA
200
This is the equation for...
6CO2 + 6H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Photosynthesis
200
genetically pre-programmed. With repeated exposure to the same pathogen, the body responds in exactly the same way.
Innate immune response
200
What is missing from Koch Postulates?
- The same micro-organism must be present in every diseased host.
- The microorganism must be isolated and cultured in the laboratory and accurately described and recorded.
- The microorganism must be able to be isolated from the second host and cultured and identified as the same as the original species.
When a sample of the pure culture is inoculated into a healthy host, this host must develop the same symptoms as the original host.
200
When both alleles are present they will mix to create a new phenotype/trait
Incomplete dominance
300
This process produces four genetically unique cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as in the parent
Meiosis
300
a process where organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce more successfully
Natural Selection
300
generates offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent.
Asexual reproduction
300
the response of the system is to increase or reinforce the initial change
positive feedback
300
The process in which genetic instructions in mRNA are "read" to synthesize a protein with the help of tRNA.
Translation
400
Ribosomes read the mRNA and hook the correct amino acid (then a protein is made after folding)
Translation
400
a loss of genetic variation that happens when a new population is started by a very small number of individuals from a larger parent population
The founder effect
400
Another term for heterozygous characteristics
Hybrid
400
a random permanent change in the DNA sequence of an organism.
Mutation
400
a heritable trait that enhances an organism's survival and reproduction in its environment
Adaptation
500
An organic compound consisting of one or more long chains of amino acids connected by peptide bonds and has a distinct and varied three-dimensional (3D) structure.
Protein
500
proteins made in response to antigens.
Antibodies
500
alleles that do not show up in the physical appearance of an organism unless there are two of them present
Recessive
500
Sickle cell anemia is a recessive disease. If you cross two parents with the alleles Aa x Aa, what are their children's chances of having sickle cell anemia?
