Cell structure & Function
This organelle is known as the “powerhouse” of the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
These are different forms of the same gene.
What are alleles?
He is considered the father of evolution.
Who is Charles Darwin?
All populations living in the same area make up this level of organization.
What is a community?
These are the building blocks of proteins.
What are amino acids?
This structure controls what enters and exits the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
This trait reappeared in the F2 generation of Mendel’s pea plants.
What is the recessive trait?
This is the process where individuals with advantageous traits survive and reproduce more successfully.
What is natural selection?
These organisms produce energy-rich compounds using sunlight.
What are producers or autotrophs?
This macromolecule includes enzymes.
What are proteins?
It is the main structural difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
What is the presence of a nucleus in eukaryotes?
This is the expected genotypic ratio in a monohybrid heterozygous cross.
What is 1:2:1?
This molecular evidence compares protein sequences between species.
What is amino acid (or DNA) sequence comparison?
This process describes how ecosystems recover after a disturbance, such as a fire or flood.
What is ecological succession?
This enzyme builds the new strand during DNA replication.
What is DNA polymerase?
These are two differences between plant and animal cells.
What are the presence of a cell wall and chloroplasts in plant cells?
These two inheritance patterns result in a blend or a combination of traits.
What are incomplete dominance and codominance?
This is a random change in allele frequencies due to chance events.
What is genetic drift?
This type of ecological succession starts with bare rock and no soil.
What is primary succession?
These are the correct DNA base-pairing rules.
What are A-T and C-G?
This structural feature of the rough ER helps it perform its function.
What are ribosomes attached to its surface?
This is the probability that two heterozygous parents will have a child with a recessive disorder.
What is 25%?
This equation (p² + 2pq + q² = 1) is used to track allele frequencies in a population.
What is the Hardy-Weinberg equation?
This rule states that only a fraction of energy passes to the next trophic level.
What is the 10% rule?
This process involves RNA polymerase making a complementary mRNA strand from DNA.
What is transcription?
