This term refers to a large molecule made up of repeating single units
What is a polymer?
The type of viral reproduction results in the bursting of the host cell
What is the lytic cycle?
This concept refers to the ability of two individuals to reproduce and produce fertile offspring
What is the biological species concept?
The forelimbs of whales, bats, and humans are examples of this type of evolutionary structure.
What are homologous structures?
A species' role and position in its environment is called this.
What is a niche?
Muscles occur in these particular groups to allow movements to be "undone"
What are antagonistic pairs?
Ms. Glanville went to this university for both of her bachelor degrees.
This term describes the region of space that is an appropriate distance from a star for liquid water to exist
These three statements make up cell theory
What are: all cells are derived from cells, cells are the smallest units of life, all living things are made from cells?
This technique is used to organism chromosomes to identify chromosomal disorders such as Down Syndrome
What is a karyogram? (Karyotype is acceptable)
In Lamarck’s theory, this type of characteristic is developed during an organism's lifetime and passed to its offspring.
What is an acquired trait?
Animals in hot deserts often have this behavioural adaptation to avoid extreme heat.
What is nocturnal activity?
This myofibril is also referred to as the thick filament
What is myosin?
Name Ms. Glanville's middle name - hint, I share this name with a popular Disney character
What is Elsa?
This property is the reason for oxygen's partial negative charge in a water molecule
What is electronegativity?
This organelle is responsible for the packaging, refinement, and export of proteins from the cell
What is the Golgi body/apparatus?
These 8 taxa make up the traditional categories of hierarchical taxonomy (in order!)
What are domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species?
Species diversity is made up of these two factors.
What is species richness and species evenness?
The type of habitat where organisms must adapt to shifting tides, high salinity, and muddy soil.
What is a mangrove swamp?
This specialised tail allows marine mammals to quickly propel themselves upwards or downwards
What is a fluke?
Name both of Ms. Glanville's cats
Who are Nutmeg and Sputnik? (Stinky is also acceptable)
This property of water refers to water's ability to transfer heat away from other materials
What is thermal conductivity?
This classic DNA virus has a distinctive look that is sometimes described as a lunar landing module
What is bacteriophage lambda?
This technique can be used to identify organisms from samples of environmental DNA (eDNA)
What is DNA barcoding?
This occurs when species rapidly diversify to fill different ecological roles, such as in finches from the Galápagos Islands.
What is adaptive radiation?
These organisms can survive with or without oxygen but grow better in its presence.
What are facultative anaerobes?
This neurotransmitter is released into the neuromuscular junction to signal a skeletal muscle to move
What is acetylcholine?
Besides biology, what was Ms. Glanville's favourite class in school?
What is musical theater?
This category of nitrogenous base is characterised by its two-ring structure
What is a purine?
This enzyme allows RNA viruses to convert their genetic material into DNA which can then be integrated into the host cell genome
What is reverse transcriptase?
This scientist caused quite a stir with his proposal of domains based on rRNA sequences in prokaryotic organisms which previously were placed in a single kingdom.
Who is Carl Woese?
This occurs when an organism has two or more complete sets of chromosomes derived from different species. It is common in plants such as knotweed.
What is allopolyploidy?
This term describes the actual abiotic and biotic conditions where an organism is found when factoring in challenges such as competition and predation
What is a realised niche?
This protein complex binds to calcium ions to allow the exposure of binding sites on actin
What is troponin?
