Synthesis (s phase)
a movement of ions and other atomic or molecular substances across cell membranes without need of energy input
What is passive transport
The splitting of the cytoplasm in cell division.
What is cytokinesis?
The phase in meiosis 1 where crossing over occurs.
What is prophase 1?
The central dogma of biology
The concept that organisms who are the best suited to their environment will be the most successful
What is natural selection
What simple molecules are the basic units of proteins?
What are amino acids
The organisms that have the most available energy in a food pyramid?
What are Producers?
The products of cellular respiration.
What are ATP, water, and carbon dioxide?
An example of this type of structure that Darwin used as evidence would be the legs of crocodiles and mice have similar bone structures and develop in a similar way.
What is a homologous structure?
what is in all cells?
cytoplasm and DNA
The body's first energy source. (quick energy)
What are carbohydrates?
What any inherited trait that increases an organism's chance of survival is known as
What is 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
TWhat is another name for the light independent reactions
Calvin Cycle
Process by which organisms break down glucose, without the use of oxygen, to create minimal ATP and lactic acid.
What is anaerobic cellular respiration?
The three organelles contained in a plant cell but not an animal cell
What are the Cell wall, central vacuole, and chloroplast?
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)?
CO2 + H2O —> C6H12O6 + O2
Define incomplete dominance
When both alleles are present they will mix to create a new phenotype/trait
DNA bases in the order of TAC transcribed to begin the reading of this genetic message.
What is the mRNA start codon?
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?
