After food is digested in the stomach, it moves on to this organ, which absorbs food molecules into the bloodstream.
What is the small intestine?
100
In this example tree, this species is equally related to the minke and humpback whales, but is more closely related to sheep and goats.
What is the cow?
100
An organism that must get its energy by eating other organisms is called this
What is a consumer?
100
If flowers have this type of inheritance, then a red parent and a white parent would produce pink offspring.
What is incomplete dominance?
100
An alpha helix or beta sheet would be an example of this level of protein structure
What is secondary structure?
100
The name of this guy
Who is Reggie?
200
This structure covers the opening to the larynx when swallowing food into the esophagus.
What is the epiglottis?
200
In comparative anatomy, the presence of these types of structures may indicate convergent evolution.
What are analogous structures?
200
Most of the energy at any trophic level is used for movement, reproduction, and metabolism, but this amount is passed on to the next trophic level
What is 10%?
200
In a cross between two parents who are heterozygous, this is the percent likelihood that they will have a child with the dominant phenotype.
What is 75%?
200
When making mRNA from DNA, C is paired up with G and A is paired up with this nitrogen base
What is U?
200
Chirp chirp! This is where Mrs. Eudy went to college.
Where is Ball State University?
300
These are the small air sacs in the lungs where oxygen can diffuse into the bloodstream.
What are alveoli?
300
Homologous structures and similar gene sequences can be evidence for this pattern of evolution
What is divergent evolution?
300
This idea says that when there are pollutants in an ecosystem, organisms at the highest trophic level will have the greatest concentration of pollution in their bodies.
What is biomagnification?
300
In humans, one gene has 3 possible alleles. The specific combination of these determines if the person is blood type A, B, AB, or O. This is an example of this type of inheritance.
What is multiple alleles?
300
This process, which can be caused by extreme heat or acidity, can misshape an enzyme, causing it to lose its function.
What is protein denaturation?
300
Gross! This Adventure teacher HATES these invasive beetles, which look like ladybugs.
Who is Mrs. Summers?
400
These two organs make up the central nervous system
What is the brain and spinal cord?
400
In a population, the frequency of the recessive allele is 0.4. Based on this information, this is the frequency of homozygous dominant.
What is 0.36?
400
These are living or nonliving components of ecosystems which can raise or lower the carrying capacity.
What are limiting factors?
400
This type of inheritance is shown in the pedigree
What is autosomal dominant?
400
These types of mutations cause a frameshift mutation, which really dramatically changes the resulting protein
What is an insertion or deletion mutation?
400
These two Adventure teachers both love pizza with pepperoni and mushroom
Who are Miss K and Mrs. Flamion?
500
The right side of the heart pumps blood towards this organ.
What are the lungs?
500
These are the four requirements for natural selection
1. Overproduction (not all survive)
2. Variation in the population
3. Inheritance of variation
4. Differential survival / reproduction (due to variation)
500
This type of organism is particularly important in primary succession, but may be less important in secondary succession (one example is a lichen).
What is a pioneer species?
500
These are Mendel's three laws of inheritance.
1. Dominance
2. Segregation
3. Independent Assortment
500
This process occurs at the ribosome, and converts mRNA to an amino acid sequence.
What is translation?
500
Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace was first released in theaters on the same night that this Adventure teacher was born.
Who is Miss K?
