DNA Structure/Replication
This nitrogenous base pairs with thymine in DNA.
What is A/adenine?
In a bacterial cell, a metabolic enzyme is produced when a new sugar is present in the cell's environment due to the action of this type of operon.
What is an inducible operon?
In the Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium equation, this variable is used to represent the frequency of the recessive allele in the population.
What is q?
In this level of ecological study, one can learn about how different species in a habitat interact with one another?
What is community ecology?
This Chicago restaurant is credited with the invention of deep dish style pizza.
What is Pizzeria Uno?
This chemist is credited with discovering the base pairing rule in DNA.
Who is Edwin Chargaff?
The gene for the production of crystallin, a photoreactive protein, is permanently inactivated in cells belonging to all internal tissues due to this gene silencing process.
What is methylation?
This famous evolutionary theorist's ideas have been mostly debunked, due to modern genetic evidence refuting the plausibility of his Principle of Use and Disuse.
Who is Jean Baptiste LaMarck?
In this type of community interaction, at least one species in the relationship is dependent on the other for its survival or reproduction.
What is symbiosis?
"The Fastest Two Minutes in Sports" is the colloquial name for this race event that takes place on the first Saturday in May.
What is the Kentucky Derby?
What is the S phase?
During post-transcriptional processing, eukaryotic cells modify the pre-mRNA transcript. When this part of the process is done, unnecessary segments of the transcript are edited out of the final copy.
What is alternative splicing/intron removal?
New species are formed through this type of selection process in which humans selectively breed organisms for desired traits.
What is artificial selection?
When limiting factors affect a population, logistic growth can take place, which is limited at this value.
What was the name given to the NFL scandal in which the New England Patriots were accused of manipulating the air pressure in their footballs during the AFC Championship game?
What is Deflate-Gate?
This strand of DNA is running in the 3' --> 5' direction behind the replication fork.
What is the leading strand?
A polypeptide contains 40 amino acids, so at least this many nucleotides were present in its genetic code.
What is 123?
Anytime it can be shown that the frequency of alleles in a population changes from generation to generation, this has occurred.
What is evolution?
When an apex predator is removed from an ecosystem, all other species and resources are impacted in this type of top-down unbalance.
Three of Jim Carrey's blockbuster movies, The Mask, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, and Dumb and Dumber, were all released in this year.
What is 1994?
After DNA was replicated in a test tube, it features one complete/whole strand and several small fragments. This is likely because this enzyme was not added to the test tube.
What is ligase?
In this type of translational mutation, a single DNA nucleotide was mistakenly deleted, causing the codon triplet pattern to be altered for the rest of the transcript.
What is a frameshift mutation?
In order for a population to remain in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium, five qualifications must be met. There must be no mutation, no migration, large population size, random mating, and no...?
What is natural selection?
Toxins ingested by organisms at low trophic levels are not metabolized, and therefore increase in concentration as they are passed through successive feeding relationships in this ecosystem phenomenon.
What is biomagnification?
Elements belonging to group 17 on the periodic table are commonly referred to by this term, which comes from a Greek root word for "salt-producing"?
What are halogens?
