Clownfish live within the protective tentacles of the sea anemone and in return it cleans and protects the anemone.  What type of relationship would this be?

Mutualism

100

Describe genotype and phenotype

Genotype is the genetic code and phenotype is the physical traits of the genetic code

200

The grouping of cells that contain DNA, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and a cell membrane, but no other membrane-bound organelles or nucleus.

What is a prokaryote? (or prokaryotic cell)

200
A mutation that makes no change to the protein sequence?

Silent mutation

200

What is the reaction of photosynthesis? (reactants & products)

CO2, H2O & light -> glucose & O2

200

What is a limiting factor that could influence the carrying capacity of humans?

Food, water, shelter

200

The stage in meiosis 1 where crossing over occurs to create genetically different chromosomes from the originals

Prophase 1

300

This process produces four genetically unique cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as in the parent

meiosis

300

Two processes that lead to the formation of an amino acid chain from DNA?

transcription and translation

300

The three organelles found in a plant cell but not an animal cell

What are cell wall, large central vacuole, and chloroplast?

300

The process by which a new community forms where no community lived before

Primary Succession (no life already existed here)
300

What would happen if organisms do not undergo meiosis?

Gametes (egg and sperm) would not form, and no genetic variation
400

The phase of mitosis where the chromosomes align in the middle of the cell, attached by the spindle fibers

Metaphase
400

What would be the RNA complementary strand for the following coding sequence:  AAATCG

UUUAGC

400

How does photosynthesis and cellular respiration relate to one another?

They use each others products as reactants in a cyclic manner 
400

Which of the following organisms passes on more energy in a community?

A fox, a grasshopper, or a blade of grass

Blade of grass

400

How many chromosomes are in the daughter cells of mitosis versus meiosis?

Mitosis has 46 and Meiosis 23

500
What would happen if a membrane protein changes its shape to allow more extracellular materials into the cell?

The membrane could potentially allow harmful materials into the cell

500

Using the RNA sequence   AUG GUU ACC UGA, what is the amino acid sequence? (see chart)

Met  Val Thr Stop

500

What organelles do the reactants of photosynthesis interact with? 

Cell wall and chloroplasts

500

What is the difference between an ecosystem and a community?

(use scientific vocabulary)

An ecosystem included abiotic and biotic factors while a community only includes biotic factors
