Experimental Design
Located on the Y axis
What is the dependent variable?
The best way to determine the evolutionary relationship amongst living organisms.
What are DNA sequences?
Protein or RNA molecule that functions to lower the activation energy of a reaction.
What are enzymes?
All cells have four things: cytoplasm, membrane, DNA/RNA and this
What are ribosomes?
Cells placed in this solution may burst due to osmotic pressure.
What is a hypotonic solution?
What is the control group?
Adaptation + Time
What is natural selection?
Composed of alpha helices and beta sheets bound by hydrogen bonds.
What are secondary protein structures?
Eukaryotes possess these complex structures that may hold DNA or even create other molecules.
What are membrane-bound organelles?
DNA synthesis occurs in only one direction due to DNA Pol III only being able to add to this end of a nucleotide.
What is the 3' end?
Group that is tested.
What is the experimental group?
Divergent evolution and allopatric separation lead to this.
What is speciation?
Molecule composed three distinct parts that are responsible for information dispersion to offspring.
What are nucleotides?
Today's Daily Double!
This structure may be found in abundance in liver cells due to its detoxification function.
What is smooth ER?
5' ATC TGC 3' is the complementary end to this strand. (You must signify the end with 5' and 3')
What is 3' GCA GAT 5'
Today's Daily Double!
These variables don't change.
What are controlled variables?
Drastic reduction in allele frequencies of a population.
What is a bottleneck?
Molecule that has 20 distinct side groups.
What are amino acids?
Osmosis is a special condition of this form of transport.
What is facilitated diffusion?
These occur in different concentrations throughout the cell cycle and control the progression of the cycle.
What are cyclins?
What is a line graph?
Selection against an allele in a population that leads to changing allele frequency and thus evolution of the population.
What is genetic drift?
Biological molecule composed of a nucleoside not directly used for heredity.
What is ATP?
These structures have long evolutionary history in eukaryotes. They have prokaryotic ribosomes and prokaryotic DNA.
What are mitochondria and chloroplasts?
These are kept relatively constant throughout the cell cycle and require another protein to be activated.
What are Cyclin-dependent kinases?
