Extends the newly formed DNA strand(s) in the third step of PCR
What is Taq polymerase
Cuts DNA only if a specific gene is present
What is restriction enzyme?
In meiosis, homologous chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell in this step
What is metaphase I?
The equation for photosynthesis
CO2 + H20 + sunlight --> C6H1206 + 602 + heat
(carbon dioxide + water + sunlight --> sugar + oxygen + heat)
Under hypertonic conditions, animal cells do this
What is shrivel/crenate?
We expect there to be no change in the variable or experiment, would lead to this hypothesis
What is the Null hypothesis
1 band present on the gel after electrophoresis represents this genotype
What is homozygous recessive?
Liver, kidney, skin, and other general body cells require cells to be formed from this type of cell division
What is mitosis?
This organismal group uses light for energy and CO2 as carbon source.
What are Photoautotrophs?
The main pigment which absorbs light during photosynthesis
What is chlorophyll?
This type of resource comes directly from the scientist who did the research?
The type of scientific literature you might find in magazines
Primary literature
Tertiary literature
DNA of similar length, size, and information stored
What are sister chromatids? (also acceptable: homologous chromosomes)
When alleles are swapped between two homologous chromosomes, leading to genetic variation in the chromosomes
Crossing-over
The macromolecule with the highest energy yield
What is lipids/fats?
Prevents plant cells from exploding under hypotonic conditions
Cell wall
A variable that changes in response to another variable is called this
What is a dependent variable?
A pipet size of 50-200 ul is set to a readout of
088 would have this volume (don't forget units!)
What is 88ul?
During cellular respiration, these conditions yield higher energy outputs.
What is aerobic conditions?
This type of organisms can feed on all trophic levels
What is decomposers/detrivores?
Process that occurs in plant cell under hypertonic conditions
What is plasmolysis?
Benedict’s test is used to test for the presence of this molecule
What are simple sugars? (aka simple carbs; glucose, galactose, fructose)
A mutation with minimal or no effect
What is a silent mutation?
This begins to form during cytokinesis and the cells are just beginning to separate into two new cells
What is cleavage furrow?
Energy does not increase as fast as mass, so larger organisms have a lower value for this measurement than smaller organisms
What is mass-specific metabolic rate?
This type of diffusion has movement assisted by membrane proteins (ie carriers, channels, or transporters).
What is facilitated diffusion?
