Genetics
Homozygous recessive
feature that freed reptiles from dependence on water for reproduction
What is amniotic egg?
statistical study of population changes over time: birth rates, death rates, and life expectancies
What is demography?
Fossil record, Homologous structures, Vestigial structures, Biogeography, Molecular Biology
What is evidence of evolution?
the plant vascular tissues
What are the phloem and xylem?
This term describes the genetic makeup of an organism when discussing genetics
What is genotype?
The archaebacteria domain was added to accomodate what type of "phile"
extremophiles
maximum amount of an organism that a habitat can handle without damaging the environment
What is carrying capacity?
These structures are a result of a common ancestor diverging and organisms adapting these structures for different uses in their environment
Homologous structures
Needle like leaves, cones, wind pollination
Gymnosperms
This structure of DNA exists when replication is complete and mitosis/meiosis is underway
Chromosome
This carbohydrate is present in the cell wall of fungi and the exoskeleton of insects and is one of the defining differences of fungi and plants
Chitin
This stage of ecological succession will include lichens and mosses to break down rock into simple compounds and soil deposits for more complex organisms to be able to take root.
Pioneer species
the movement of genes into or out of a population
What is gene flow? (or migration)
Ribose; Phosphate
This enzyme is not present in DNA and replaces Thymine during transcription
Uracil
Dear King Paramecium Cares Only For Green Spirulina
This is a pneumonic device to remember the order of classification. What is the order?
Domain-Kingdom-Phylum-Class-Order-Genus-Species
This type of growth is uninhibited by limiting factors and often is met with exceeding the carrying capacity of an ecosystem
Exponential growth
These structures are used less and less frequently by organisms and are losing function or disappearing from the population
Vestigial structures
The lobe in the cerebellum responsible for vision interpretation
Occipital
What is the flow of genetic information during protein synthesis (hint: 1,2,3)
DNA-RNA-PROTEIN
This is the binomial nomenclature for dogs
Canis Familiaris
This is an example of an apex predator found competing with other apex predators in an aquatic ecosystem
Orcas/Great White Sharks
An example of this would be the Amish community having an affinity for polydactyly
Founder effect
Enzyme that rebuilds DNA strands during replication and synthesis
Polymerase
