Cell Cycle
The division of the nucleus.
mitosis
A process by which some organism reproduce by through mitosis and a new organism grows off of the parent organism.
budding
Lactic acid fermentation
all living things come from preexisting cell was discovered by ________________________.
Rudolf Virchow
Organisms that are better suited environment because of an adaptation will have more reproductive success and demonstrate descent with modification
natural selection
A period of growth and check to see if the cell is ready to copy DNA
G1 or gap 1
A process used by plants where a new plant grows from the original plant.
vegetative propagation
A process that uses oxygen to break down glucose and releases ATP.
aerobic cellular respiration
What is smaller than a bacteria, causes disease and has nucleic acid wrapped in a capsid?
virus
When natural selection favors the medium or average individual in a population.
stabilizing selection
A period in the cell cycle where DNA is replicated.
S phase
A process used by bacteria, where the parent cell divides to form two identical cells.
Binary fission
A process that breaks down glucose in the absence of oxygen and produces a small amount of ATP (2 ATP).
anaerobic respiration
The structure is capable of reproducing on its own, has nucleic acid, responds to the environment, maintains homeostasis, and uses energy.
cell
Features in different species that have similar functions but the internal structures are different; gives evidence of convergent evolution
analogous structures
Checks to make sure that the DNA was copied correctly and that the cell is the correct size to divide. (must include the word check point.)
G2 checkpoint
The regrowth of a body part (like an arm on a starfish) through mitosis is known as ___________.
A process that happens in plants some microorganism that breaks down glucose to form ethanol, Carbon dioxide a small amount of energy.
alcoholic fermentation
Some scientist believe that the first cell was ____________
anaerobic heterotrophic prokaryote
geographic isolation
List the steps of the cell cycle in order.
G1, S, G2, Mitosis (M) and cytokinesis
The growth of a new organism from a piece of the parent organism is sometimes called regeneration but it has another name of ________________.
fragmentation
A gas that causes bread to rise as a product of yeast breaking down glucose.
alcoholic fermentation
A theory on how the mitochondria and the chloroplast came to be part of the cell.
endosymbiotic theory
Similarities in the order of nucleotides of DNA and RNA or in the order of amino acids of proteins that may indicate common ancestry of an organism
Gene and Protein homolgy
