The phase where DNA replication occurs
Synthesis (s phase)
a movement of ions and other atomic or molecular substances across cell membranes without need of energy input

The legs of crocodiles and mice have similar bone structures and develop in a similar way. What type of structures are the leg bones?
What is a homologous structures
What is the function of the chloroplasts?
To perform photosynthesis in the cell
A biomolecule that serves as a fast source of energy?

Any inherited trait that increases an organism's chance of survival is known as this.
An adaptation
Organs of many animals are so reduced in size that they are merely traces of homologous organisms are known as this.
What are vestigial structures
This process produces four genetically unique cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as in the parent
meiosis
In which cell organelle does cellular respiration occur?
Mitochondria
process by which organisms break down glucose, without the use of oxygen, to create ATP
What is anaerobic cellular respiration
Sickle cell anemia is a recessive disease. If you cross two parents with the alleles Aa x Aa, what are the chances their children will have sickle cell anemia?
25%
Made of mostly phospholipid molecules embedded with proteins, this flexible boundary regulates what goes in or out of the cell
What is the plasma membrane (cell membrane)?
The reactants and products for photosynthesis
Reactants: Carbon Dioxide and Water (CO2 + H2O) Products: Glucose (sugar) and Oxygen (C6H12O6 + O2)
Define/Explain incomplete dominance
When both alleles are present they will mix to create a new phenotype/trait
Find the Amino Acids for the DNA strand.
TAC - AGT - CTC - CCC - GAA - ACC
DNA: TAC - AGT - CTC - CCC - GAA - ACT
RNA: AUG - UCA - GAG - GGG - CUU - UGA
Amino Acids: MET - Glu - Gly - Leu - Stop
Why must cells perform cellular respiration?
It provides cells with the energy they need to function.
