The Basics
The study of life.
What is biology
Specific environment of an organism.
What is the habitat?
Jelly-like fluid inside the cell in which organelles are suspended.
What is cytoplasm?
This acid is formed in a distinctive double-helix shape.
The basic unit of heredity.
What is a gene?
Any 5 parts of a compound light microscope.
What are the eyepiece, arm, nosepiece, objectives, stage, focus, base, etc.
3 parts of the food chain.
What are Producers, Consumers, Decomposers?
The part of a plant cell where photosynthesis takes place.
What is the chloroplast?
This stores genetic instructions and is located in the nucleus of the cell.
What is DNA?
The trait that will be expressed in a heterozygous genotype.
What is dominant?
These particles are equal in number to the protons in an atom.
What are electrons?
Any 6 terrestrial biomes
What are grassland, desert, scrublands, tundra, deciduous forest, coniferous forest, tropical rainforest?
Any 5 parts of an animal cell.
What are the nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria vacuole, cell membrane, and golgi bodies?
This single-strand carries instructions into the cytoplasm, which are used to build proteins
What is RNA?
A method we've practiced for determining the likelihood of an offspring inheriting particular traits.
What is a Punnett square?
6 criteria for life
What are 1) cells, 2) growth & development, 3) metabolism & energy, 4) homeostasis, 5) sense & respond to stimuli, 6) DNA & reproduction
Mutualism, commensalism are 2 kinds of this close relationship between 2 or more species, in which at least one benefits.
What is symbiosis?
The stages of mitosis.
What are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase?
These are the “rungs” on DNA and RNA strands.
What are nucleotide bases?
The observable expression of an organism’s genes.
What is the phenotype?
Attractive force that holds molecules of the same substance together.
What is cohesion?
Relationship between 2 organisms of different species in which one benefits and one is harmed.
What is parasitism?
The energy molecule of cells, produced during cellular respiration.
What is ATP?
RNA uses this nucleotide base instead of Thymine (used by DNA).
What is Uracil?
Father of modern genetics.
Who is Gregor Mendel?
