Genetics
In this inheritance pattern, a cross between a blue flower and a red flower produces purple offspring.
Incomplete Dominance
During this longest phase of the cell cycle, the cell grows and replicates its DNA.
Interphase
These small openings on the underside of a leaf allow for gas exchange
stomata
These are the monomers (building blocks) of proteins.
Amino acids
This term describes an organism that has two different alleles for a particular gene
Heterozygous
Anaphase
These flowering plants produce seeds enclosed within a fruit.
Angiosperms
This molecule carries the genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosome.
What is the primary evolutionary advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction?
Increased genetic diversity
Traits controlled by two or more genes, such as human skin color or height, are called this.
Polygenic
Most chemotherapy drugs work by targeting and killing cells that are doing this.
Dividing rapidly
If a mutation changes a codon from UCG to UCA, and both code for the amino acid Serine, it is this type of mutation.
Silent
During transcription, the DNA sequence G-A-T-C would be transcribed into which mRNA sequence?
C-U-A-G
These are the reactants (what goes in) for cellular respiration.
Glucose and oxygen
If a woman with Type O blood has a child with Type AB blood, what is the biological likelihood of this occurring?
0%
Cancer cells that can spread to other parts of the body are described by this term.
Malignant
If a cell is placed in a solution with a higher salt concentration than the cell, water will leave the cell. This solution is called...
Hypertonic
A mutation that involves the insertion or deletion of a nucleotide, shifting the 'reading frame' of the genetic message, is called this.
Frameshift
This type of transport requires energy (ATP) to move materials against a concentration gradient.
Active transport
A woman with normal vision has a father who is red-green colorblind. She marries a man with normal vision. What is the probability that their sons will be colorblind? Show the Punnett square on the board.

What happens in G0?
Cells are resting in G0 & not actively dividing. Some cells undergo apoptosis in G0
a weak bond between base pairs in DNA
hydrogen bond
What are the 3 components of a nucleotide
a phosphate, 5-carbon sugar, and a nitrogen base
Which layer of the leaf is specifically packed with chloroplasts to maximize light absorption?
Palisade mesophyl
