A possible answer to a scientific question; it must be falsifiable and testable.
Hypothesis
These simple molecules form the basis of all proteins
amino acids
The 4 nitrogen bases found in DNA.
A, T, G & C
An organism that makes its own food.
Autotroph/Producer
The process that occurs during meiosis I that leads to genetic variation in the resulting daughter cells
Crossing over
This RNA is transcribed from a section of DNA and later leaves the nucleus in order to be translated into an amino acid chain.
mRNA
This is the equation for...
6CO2 + 6H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Photosynthesis
How much energy makes it to each consecutive trophic level in a food chain?
10%
Type of organism relationship where one species benefits but the other is unaffected
Commensalism
When both alleles are present they will mix to create a new phenotype/trait
Incomplete dominance
This process produces four genetically unique cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as in the parent
Meiosis
a process where organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce more successfully
Natural Selection
an organism that breaks down dead plants and animals and their waste products, returning vital nutrients to the ecosystem
Decomposer
Give the acronym and definition for remembering which variables belong on which axes of a graph
DRY MIX
Dependent Manipulated
Responding Independent
Y-axis X-axis
The process in which genetic instructions in mRNA are "read" to synthesize a protein with the help of tRNA.
Translation
Give the 3 products of aerobic cellular respiration
CO2, H2O & ATP
the maximum population size of a species that a particular environment can sustainably support, given the available resources like food, water, and habitat
Carrying capacity
Water molecules, and DNA base pairs, have attractive forces to one another and are held together by these types of weaker bonds
Hydrogen bonds
a random permanent change in the DNA sequence of an organism.
Mutation
a heritable trait that enhances an organism's survival and reproduction in its environment
Adaptation
Name at least 4 of the kingdoms of life
Archaea, Bacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia
What is the function of enzymes, in general, in the body?
Speed up chemical reactions
Name at least 4 things needed to be classified as a living thing.
Reproduce
Made of cells
Homeostasis
Use energy
Respond to environment
Grow and develop
Evolve
DNA
Sickle cell anemia is a recessive disease. If you cross two parents with the alleles Aa x Aa, what are their children's chances of having sickle cell anemia?
