Ecology
This is what evolution acts upon in a population. Hint: caused by mutation.
What is variation?
This pattern of inheritance states that a cross between blood type A and blood type B will result in a phenotype of blood AB.
What is codominance?
This is a level in the energy pyramid with the most energy or biomass.
What is the first trophic level or primary producers?
This is a theory proposed by Charles Darwin that says that organisms better suited to their environments will survive and reproduce.
What is natural selection?
This is the equation for:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
What is cellular respiration
The process of repeated cell growth and division.
This polar molecules is made up of hydrogen and oxygen and is essential to life.
What is water?
In an experiment testing the effect of different vitamins on human health, which is the dependent variable?
What is human health?
These are structures that have lost their major function or serve no function for an organism's survival.
What is vestigial structures?
The enzyme that matches new nucleotides and proofreads in DNA replication.
What is DNA polymerase?
The enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates in your mouth
What is amylase?
This is a type of symbiotic relationship where one organisms benefit and the other is unaffected.
What is commensalism?
This comes from shared ancestry and describes parts of organisms that have similar structures but different functions.
What is homologous structures?
This is found on the tRNA as it bring amino acids to the ribosome in translation and matches with the codon.
What is anticodon?
The macromolecule that is non-polar and makes up cell membranes.
What are lipids?
The pathway that moves CO2 between the ocean and atmosphere?
What is diffusion?
This process creates genetically different haploid gametes.
What is meiosis?
This is the central dogma of molecular biology
What is DNA to RNA to Protein?
In this type of solution, the concentration of dissolved particles is high causing a cell to shrink.
What is hypertonic solution?
