lac operon
A way that a mutation can decrease protein binding activity
taking away polar contacts
changes in hydrophilic/hydrophobic
steric clashes
changes in charge
species of low abundance but great significance to the ecosystem
keystone species
A class of computational models for simulating the actions of autonomous agents with to assess their effects on the system as a whole
what is the Agent Based Model
parasites that live outside their hosts
what are ectoparasites
A promotes function of, induces, creates, or increases B
What is the ---> symbol on a diagram
adults can drink milk is through the evolution of
lactose persistence
the way that nurses and foragers delegate tasks
based on the social context/what needs to get done
the number of people that need to be immunized in a population
pc / critical immunization threshold
stat. test that analyzes cause and effect
what is linear regression
the domestication of cows in europe and africa
when the ecosystem is disrupted because of a trophic level being disturbed
what is a trophic cascade
transcription factor that binds to enhancers (per/tim heterodimer) to drive transcription
Clk/Cyc
impact of a longer infection rate on an SIR model
increases the proportion of the infected population and slightly prolongs the disease’s persistence
the type of feedback that Maintains equilibrium/balance
speed of circadian rhythm if mutation messes up Dbt
what the ideal SIR model looks like
how parasites become insecticide resistant
Mutations occur at random → selective pressure, survival of the fittest
the lac operon is this specific type of operon
inducible operon
ocean acidification's impact on one ecological hierarchy
Ocean acidification hurts the organismal success of sea urchins, which is beneficial for kelp and other lower trophic level species
name a process/intervention/behavior that can increase/decrease stocks
Births, Vaccines, Drugs, Death
name an example of an external stimuli that influences transcription
