Cells
This important organelle breaks down food to release energy for a cell and has its own DNA
What is Mitochondria?
Sections of DNA that code for traits
What are genes?
The type of selection where organisms that have the most advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce.
What is natural?
The size of population that usually has the most genetic diversity.
What is large?
This type of macromolecule is the primary food source for cells.
What are carbohydrates (carbs)?
A type of cell that has membrane-bound organelles, like a nucleus.
What is eukaryotic?
Two versions of a gene
What are alleles?
If two populations are isolated from one another for a long enough period of time, they may develop into different these.
What are species?
Fragmentation of habitat due to urban expansion would cause biodiversity to do this.
What is decrease?

What are plant cells?
A type of allele that is only expressed in homozygous genotypes
What is recessive
Random changes is a cells DNA
What are mutations?
The living factors present in an ecosytem
What is biotic?
This type of macromolecule changes shape easily with temperature and pH changes
What is protein?
The process that cells use to break down glucose for energy if the is no oxygen present, it gives off CO2 and alcohol
What is fermentation?
Cells, like somatic cells, that have two sets of each chromosome
What is diploid?
Cells from organisms that are closely related have similarities in this
What is DNA (or amino acid) sequence
Arrival of this type of exotic species can disrupt an ecosystem
What is invasive
What process makes identical cells and is used for growth and repair
What is mitosis?
The type of molecule the majority of cell membrane bilayer is made of.
What are phospholipids?
The strand of RNA that would be transcribed from "ACT" on DNA
What is "UGA"?
Events that happen randomly, like a fire, and cause drops in populations
What are bottleneck events?
Although it does happen naturally, the rate of species _____ has increases drastically due to human practices.
What is extinction?
What is control?
