Macromolecules and Organelles
This organelle is responsible for synthesizing proteins, often found in the cytoplasm or on the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
What is... ribosomes?
The phase in the cell cycle in which DNA replicates.
What is... S phase?
Where does transcription take place in a eukaryotic cell?
What is.... nucleus?
The biological name for physical trait.
What is... phenotype?
A symbiotic relationship where both organisms are both benefiting.
What is... mutualism?
These biomolecule(s) (protein, carbs, lipids, or nucleic acids) contain nitrogen.
What is.. proteins and nucleic acids?
This is the name of the signaling molecule that binds to receptors in order to initiate the signal transduction pathway.
What is... ligand?
The name of the group on amino acids that determine the special properties of amino acids.
What is... R groups?
In x-linked recessive disorders, are individuals with XX (female) or XY (male) more prone to getting the disorder? Why?
must answer why
What is... XY (male) because they only have one X
The mechanism of evolution that is all about adapting, surviving, and reproducing.
mechanisms: genetic drift, non-random mating, mutations, gene flow, and natural selection.
What is... natural selection?
A scientist could not synthesize this biomolecule because they did not have phosphorus in the growth medium.
What is... nucleic acids?
These kinds of cells can develop if p53 is damaged and the cell cycle goes unregulated.
What is... cancerous cells or tumors?
What is... environmental factors?
If both parents are heterozygous, the probability that the recessive trait will appear in the offspring is
What is.... 25%
What does q2 represent in the hardy-weinberg equilibrium?
What is... (homozygous) recessive genotype
These bonds cause cohesion between water molecules and allow them to bond together.
What is... hydrogen bonds?
In this phase, spindle fibers attach to chromosomes and pull them evenly apart.
What is.... anaphase?
What is the mRNA strand made from the following DNA template?
TAC GGA TAC CCA
What is...
AUG CCU AUG GGU
If one parent is homozygous dominant and the other is heterozygous, the probability that the dominant trait will appear in the offspring is
What is... 100%
remember homozygous dominant and heterozygous genotypes will give the dominant trait
Out of all of the evidence for evolution, what is the most accurate form?
(evidence: structural, embryological, DNA, geographical, fossils)
What is... DNA evidence?
These two organelles both have their own DNA, serves as evidence that eukaryotes evolved from prokaryotic cells.
What is... mitochondria and chloroplast?
Name of the protein that help regulate and ensure the progression of the cell cycle.
What is... CDK or Cyclins?
Answer BOTH parts
1. Name of the process that turns DNA into mRNA.
2. Name of the process that turns mRNA into proteins.
What is...
1. transcription (DNA -> mRNA)
2. translation (mRNA -> proteins)
If the calculated value (x2) is larger than the critical (p) value, do we accept or reject the null hypothesis?
What is.. reject?
The x2 needs to be smaller than p-value in order to accept.
What's the connection between biodiversity and ecosystem stability?
The more biodiversity present, the more stable the ecosystem is.
OR
The less biodiversity present, the less stable the ecosystem is.
