Evolution
This process explains how species change over time?
What is evolution?
This molecule carries the genetic code from DNA to the ribosome.
What is mRNA?
This type of bacteria has a spherical shape.
What is coccus?
This type of transport requires energy and moves molecules against their concentration gradient.
What is active transport?
These alternate forms of a gene are located at the same position on homologous chromosomes.
What are alleles?
These preserved remains or traces of ancient organisms provide evidence for evolution.
What are fossils?
This process occurs in the ribosome, where amino acids are linked together to form a protein.
What is translation?
Viruses are not considered living because they cannot do this on their own.
What is reproduce?
This process describes the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane.
What is osmosis?
This type of inheritance occurs when both alleles in a heterozygote are fully expressed (you see both).
What is codominance?
This term describes structures in different species that have a common origin but may serve different functions, like a bat’s wing and a human arm.
What are homologous structures?
This three-nucleotide sequence on mRNA corresponds to a specific amino acid.
What is a codon?
This bacterial process involves the transfer of genetic material through a pilus.
What is conjugation?
This type of transport involves the movement of molecules from high to low concentration without energy.
What is passive transport?
This genetic disorder is caused by an extra chromosome 21.
What is down syndrome?
This theory states that organisms with the most favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce?
What is survival of the fittest?
This process occurs in the nucleus, where DNA is made into an mRNA strand?
What is transcription?
This type of pathogen can be treated using antibiotics.
What are bacteria?
This allows large particles to pass through the cell membrane.
What are protein channels?
This tool is used to predict the outcome of genetic crosses.
What is a Punnett square?
This theory states that each generation is slightly different than the next.
What is descent with modification?
This is what you look at to determine the amino acid sequence made by codons?
What is a codon chart?
This is the short cycle of viral reproduction.
What is the lytic cycle?
This process occurs when a cell engulfs large particles (cell eating).
What is phagocytosis?
This type of inheritance occurs when a mixture of alleles in a heterozygote are expressed.
What is incomplete dominance?
