Unit 1: Nature of Science
A tentative scientific explanation to a problem
What is a Hypothesis?
The chemical formal for water.
What is H2O?
This organelle is the control center of the cell and contains the DNA.
What is the Nucleus?
This term describes the physical traits a person exhibits.
What is Phenotype?
The complementary DNA strand for: ATC
What is TAG?
A well-documented description of how the natural world works
What is a Law?
When water sticks to itself.
What is cohesion?
This organelle is the site of cellular respiration and energy production.
What is the Mitochondria?
This term describes the genes and alleles a person contains.
What is Genotype?
The mRNA for the DNA strand: ATC
What is UAG?
A well-supported explanation of how the natural world works
What is a Theory?
Fatty Acids make up this macromolecule.
What are Lipids?
A simple cell with no membrane bound organelles.
What is Prokaryote?
Blood type is controlled by multiple alleles (IA, IB, i). An individual that has the genotype IAIB expresses both the A and B antigen phenotypes on their blood cells. This is a specific type of dominance.
What is codominance?
The process of changing DNA to mRNA
What is Transcription?
A researcher wants to know how temperature will impact plant height growth. This is the independent variable.
What is Temperature?
The monomer of proteins.
What are amino acids?
This organelle transports materials from the golgi to be released out of the cell.
What is vesicle?
These parent genotypes produce offspring in the classic 9:3:3:1 ratio.
What is heterozygous for both traits?
The process of using mRNA to get Amino Acids.
What is Translation?
A researcher wants to know how temperature will impact plant height growth. This is the dependent variable.
What is plant height?
A carbohydrate with TWO sugar rings.
What is disaccharide?
Water and Oxygen are the waste products of this chemical reaction.
What is photosynthesis?
The alleles G, g determine the color of peas on a pea plant.
If we cross a plant that is heterozygous for green peas with a plant that has yellow peas. This is the probability of having an offspring with yellow peas.
What is 50%?
The process that includes Transcription and Translation.
What is Protein Synthesis?
