The observable traits of an organism.
What is a phenotype?
The scientist pair credited with discovering the double-helix structure of DNA
Who are Watson and Crick?
The scientist who wrote "On the Origin of Species."
Who is Charles Darwin?
Living parts of an ecosystem
What are biotic factors?
The long bone found in the upper leg
What is the femur?
A chart used to predict genetic outcomes.
What is a Punnett square?
The enzyme that unzips DNA during replication.
What is helicase?
The process where organisms better adapted to their environment survive and reproduce.
What is natural selection?
Organisms that make their own food
What are producers?
The cells responsible for building new bone.
What are osteoblasts?
The process that creates gametes with half the normal number of chromosomes.
What is meiosis?
The process of making RNA from DNA
What is transcription?
A random change in allele frequencies in a population.
What is genetic drift?
A relationship where one organism benefits and the other is harmed.
What is parasitism?
The maintenance of constant internal conditions despite changing external conditions
What is Homeostasis?
This blood type is known as the universal donor.
What is O negative?
The three main steps of translation are initiation, elongation, and this final step.
What is termination?
This effect occurs when a small group starts a new population with limited genetic diversity
What is the founder effect?
Excess nutrients in water can cause these harmful rapid algae growth events.
