Genetics
What is the difference between Mitosis and Meiosis?
Mitosis is asexual reproduction and Meiosis is sexual reproduction.
What provides support and protection outside the cell membrane?
Cell wall
What are the 3 pillars of sustainability?
Social, Economic, and Environmental
Explain natural selection?
What is the method to estimate the population of a mobile species within one area?
Mark and recapture.
What is tRNA used in?
Translation
Part of cell that controls what enters and exits the cell.
What effect is urbanization having on sustainability?
It is causing a lot of deforestation and habitat loss which is not sustainable.
True or False: An individual organism can directly change a trait to better survive in an environment.
False
Explain the process of photosynthesis (Products/Reactants)
It takes in light, CO2, and water
It releases O2 and glucose.
What is the difference between homozygous and heterozygous? Give an example
Homozygous is two of the same allele (FF or ff) and heterozygous is two different alleles (Ff)
The Cell Theory
What role do humans play in sustainability?
Humans using cars, littering, pollution are causing several environmental factors to be hurt which is not sustainable.
What are the requirements for evolution to occur.
Natural selection led to adaptation by favoring the variation of a certain species with the more favorable feature to survive and reproduce
Explain the process of cellular respiration (Products/Reactants)
It takes in O2, glucose
It releases CO2, water, and ATP
_____ is DNA to DNA
_____ is DNA to mRNA
_____ is mRNA to tRNA
1) Replication
2) Transcription
3) Translation
What is the major difference between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes.
Prokaryotes are not surrounded by a membrane and the Eukaryotes are surrounded by a membrane.
What is the difference between Phytoplankton and Zooplankton?
Phytoplankton is a producer and Zooplankton is a consumer.
Formation of new species in course of evolution
Speciation
What three things do plants use nitrogen to build?

If the parent alleles are Pp and Pp then what is the percent chance the recessive trait showing?
25%
What organelle contains digestive enzymes and is responsible for breaking down cellular waste and debris?
Lysosome
A company is creating a product for the economy and creating them in factories which burn of fossil fuels. Which pillar of sustainability does this negatively effect?
Environmental
How do humans affect social behavior of other organisms, causing evolution.
Human activities alter the environments in which the animals live, which changes the social behaviors and causes adaptations that lead to evolution.
What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
Whatever goes in for photosynthesis, goes out for cellular respiration. What ever go out for photosynthesis, goes in for cellular respiration.
