Evolutionary History
100
Any change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA.
What is mutation?
100
The analysis of DNA samples to determine whether they come from the same individual.
What is DNA profiling?
100
layers of sedimentary rocks.
What is strata?
100
the broad pattern of changes in life on Earth.
What is macroevolution?
200
The sugar in an RNA nucleotide.
What is ribose?
200
A harmless derivative of a pathogen that stimulates the immune system to produce long-term immunity. Usually produces in yeast or bacteria.
What is a vaccine?
200
Similarity resulting from common ancestry.
What is homology?
200
based on the sequence and ages of fossils in the rock strata.
What is geologic record?
300
the process in which RNA is converted into protein.
What is translation?
300
An organism that has acquired 1 or more genes by artificial means.
What are Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO)?
300
Only mechanism that consistently leads to adaptive evolution.
What is natural selection?
300
Based on the decay of radioactive isotopes.
What is radiometric dating?
400
Part of the cell where the polypeptides are build.
What are ribosomes?
400
The process in which the separation and purifying of macromolecules. A mix of macromolecules are placed on a get between a positive and a negative electrode. Negative charges migrate towards positive electrode. Smaller molecules move faster through the gel. heavier ones stay on top.
What is gel electrophoresis?
400
Competition between individuals of the same gender. EX: 2 male deer fighting for mate.
What is intrasexual selection?
400
has played a major role in macroeveolution that has changed how the earth's plates have moved.
What is continental drift?
500
They were recognized for their model of DNA double helix in 1953.
Who are Watson and Crick?
500
The process in which a gene from a healthy person is used to be inserted into a retrovirus to insert into the bone marrow cells, this causes the gene to insert itself to the cell's chromosome. The engineered cells are then injected into patients bone marrow.
What is gene therapy
500
Not consuming medication like they are prescribed, misuse of antibiotics, can increase the cases of this infection.
