100
This term describes the physical appearance or observable traits of an organism, determined by its genetic makeup.
What is a phenotype
100
This process involves the synthesis of RNA using a DNA template.
What is transcription?
100
This term refers to the contribution an individual makes to the gene pool of the next generation relative to others
What is evolutionary fitness
100
This term describes a symbiotic relationship where one organism benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed.
What is commensalism?
100
This statistical value measures the amount of variation or dispersion in a set of data values
What is standard deviation?
200
If a pea plant is heterozygous for purple flowers (Pp), this is the probability that its offspring will have white flowers (pp) when self-pollinated.
What is 25% or 1/4
200
In prokaryotes, this "switch" is a segment of DNA that controls the access of RNA polymerase to the genes in an operon.
What is an operator?
200
This type of selection favors individuals at both extremes of a phenotypic range over intermediate phenotypes.
What is disruptive/diversifying selection?
200
This is the maximum population size that a particular environment can sustain.
What is carrying capacity (K)?
200
You use this statistical test to determine if there is a significant difference between observed and expected data.
What is the Chi-Square test?
300
This type of inheritance occurs when two different alleles are both fully expressed in the phenotype, such as in AB blood types.
What is codominance?
300
These non-coding sequences are removed from a pre-mRNA molecule during RNA processing in eukaryotes
What are introns?
300
This condition of a population occurs when allelic frequencies remain constant from generation to generation (no evolution).
What is Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium?
300
In this type of population growth, the per capita rate of increase approaches zero as the population size nears the carrying capacity.
What is logistic growth?
300
This formula, is used to calculate this specific type of growth.
What is the logistic growth rate?
400
These types of genes are located on the same chromosome and tend to be inherited together unless crossing over occurs
What are linked genes
400
his regulatory protein binds to the operator to block transcription of the operon.
What is a repressor?
400
This phenomenon occurs when a small group of individuals becomes isolated from a larger population and establishes a new population with a different gene pool.
What is the founder effect
400
Only about this percentage of energy is typically transferred from one trophic level to the next.
What is 10%?
400
When calculating Standard Error of the Mean 
you divide the standard deviation by this value.
What is the square root of the sample size?
sqrt(n)
500
n a Chi-Square test for a monohybrid cross with an expected 3:1 ratio and 100 total offspring, this is the Expected (e) value for the recessive phenotype.
What is 25?
500
This mechanism allows a single gene to encode for multiple different proteins by joining different combinations of exons.
What is alternative RNA splicing?
500
According to the Hardy-Weinberg equation, if the frequency of the recessive phenotype (q2) is 0.09, this is the frequency of the dominant allele (p).
What is 0.7? Note: q = 0.3,$p + q = 1
500
These organisms are essential to an ecosystem because they occupy a niche that maintains the community's structure, and their removal would cause the ecosystem to collapse.
What is a keystone species?
500
In a Chi-Square test, if your calculated value is greater than the critical value at $p=0.05$, you must do this to your null hypothesis.
What is reject the null hypothesis
