Evolution
This mechanism of evolution occurs when individuals with favorable traits survive and reproduce more successfully than others
Natural Selection
This organelle is known as the "powerhouse of the cell" because it produces ATP through cellular respiration
Mitochondria
What is the equation for Photosynthesis
CO2+H2O ->C6H12O6 +O2
This technique separates DNA fragments by size using an electric current and a gel matrix
Gel electrophoresis
This molecule carries genetic info and is shaped like a double helix
DNA
This scientist proposed the theory of evolution by natural selection after observing finches in the Galapagos Islands
Charles Darwin
This selectively permeable structure controls what enters and leaves the cell
Plasma Membrane
What is the equation for Cellular Respiration
C6H12O6+O2->CO2+H2O
This laboratory method is used to rapidly make millions of copies of a DNA segment
PCR
Who is the AP Biology teacher with glasses who posts on Youtube
Mr. Anderson
In a population at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, name at least three conditions that must be met to prevent evolution from occurring
No mutation, Random mating, No natural selection, extremely large population size and no gene flow
Ribosomes attached to this organelle help synthesize proteins that will be exported from the cell
Rough ER
During photosynthesis, these reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes and produce ATP and NADPH
Light-Dependent reactions
These enzymes cut DNA at specific nucleotide sequences and are often called "molecular scissors"
Restriction enzymes
These tiny openings on plant leaves that allow gas exchange
Stomate
This evolutionary mechanism occurs when allele frequencies change due to random chances, especially in small populations
Genetic Drift
This transport process moves water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of high-water concentration to low-water concentrations
Osmosis
This molecule acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain of cellular respiration
Oxygen
This type of organism has had its DNA altered through genetic engineering
Genetically modified organisms
This phase of mitosis is when sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell
Anaphase
Structures that share a common ancestry but may have different functions in different species are called these
Homologous Structures
These membrane-bound sacs contain digestive enzymes used to break down waste material and worn-out cell parts
Lysosomes
This cycle takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast and uses carbon dioxide to build sugars
Calvin Cycle
This biotechnology tool uses a guide RNA and the Cas9 enzyme to edit genes at precise locations
CRISPR
This scientist is known for discovering the basic laws of inheritance through pea plant experiments
Gregor Mendel
