Genetics & Meiosis
These are pairs of chromosomes containing the same type of gene in same location but one is from the mother and one is from the father.
What are homologous chromosomes?
This virus has a geometric icosahedral capsid.
What is an adenovirus?
This occurs when enough people in a population are immune, reducing disease spread.
What is herd immunity?
This neurotransmitter reduces pain - opioids mimic its effects.
What are endorphins?
These small-scale evolutionary changes occur within a population over generations.
What is microevolution?
Alleles separating during gamete formation.
What is the Law of Segregation?
This virus looks like a robotic spider.
What is a bacteriophage?
A protein tag that tells the body their is a foreign thing inside the body.
What is an antigen?
This neurotransmitter regulates sleep, appetite, and mental stability - Hallucinogens will affect it.
What is seotonin?
Theorised large-scale evolutionary changes that may lead to new species or major groups.
What is macroevolution?
Genes are independent from from other traits.
What is the Law of Independent Assortment?
Bacteria develop this trait because not all bacteria are killed off by the antibiotic and the ones that survive pass down their gene.
What is antibiotic resistance?
This marks the foreign antigen for destruction and triggers the cascade of the primary immune response.
What is an antibody?
This neurotransmitter affects memory, learning, and reflexes and is affected by marijuana and nicotine.
What is acetylcholine?
Mechanism of evolution where organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.
A cross between homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive produces only this genotype.
What is homozygous genotype?
One way humans can reduce antibiotic resistance is by avoiding this common misuse.
What is taking antibiotics for viral infections?
Vaccines work by producing memory cells to remember the foreign antigen and to rapidly produce large amounts of antibodies.
What is the secondary immune response?
This invertebrate feature might include specialized feeding structures, unique body symmetry, or ecological roles.
What are examples of invertebrate adaptations?
Gene flow between groups stops, allowing for development of unique genetic, behavioral, or physical characteristics.
What is speciation?
A cross between Aa and aa produces these two genotypes
What are Aa and aa?
These three structures allow protists to move.
What are cilia, flagella, and pseudopods?
Alexander Fleming noticed that staph would not grow close to penicillium fungus on an agar plate.
How were antibiotics discovered?
This is a rapid change in electrical charge across a neuron’s membrane.
What is an action potential?
A classification method that groups organisms on most recent common ancestor based on physical and molecular characteristics.
What is cladistics?
