The energy currency of cells.
What is ATP?
100
These are similar structures that serve different functions that evolved from a common ancestor such as whale fins and bat wings.
What are homologous structures?
100
This law states that two alleles for a heritable character separate during gamete formation and ends in different gametes
What is the Law of Segregation?
100
Cohesion/adhesion are used to transport water in this specific cell type
What is the xylem?
100
Proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids
What are organic molecules?
200
G1, G2,G0,S, Mitosis and/or Meiosis are all part of this.
What is the cell cycle?
200
An early advocate of evolution who theorized, incorrectly, that acquired traits are heritable.
Who is Lamarck?
200
This is the reason why nonsense mutation is normally a far more fatal/severe version of mutation compared to missense mutation.
What is a stop codon?
200
These “not leaves” feed the young plant before true leaves emerge.
What are cotyledons?
200
In addition to versatility as a solvent and ability to moderate temperature, these are the other 2 key properties of water
What are cohesion/adhesion and expansion upon freezing?
300
The sub-cycle of photosynthesis produces NADP+, ADP+Pi and sucrose.
What is the Calvin Cycle?
300
Natural selection, the mechanism by which evolution operates, “selects” organisms in response to these two phenomena.
What are environmental pressures and mutations?
300
Height is an example of this form of inheritance, where trait is the result of many genes.
What is a polygenic trait?
300
This is the growth of a shoot toward or away from light
What is phototropism?
300
This occurs when two molecules are covalently bonded through the loss of water molecules.
What is a dehydration reaction?
400
The two related types of proteins that regulate the G1 and G2 phases of the cell cycle.
What are Cyclins and Cyclin-dependent Kinases?
400
This is an unfortunate consequence for the hybrid offspring of two organisms adapted to different environments.
What is reduced hybrid fitness?
400
This is the reason why many transcription errors involving point mutations on the third base of a codon are ‘silent’.
What is the wobble? (or redundancy on the genetic code)
400
This waxy belt (suberin) blocks movement of water between endodermal cells in plant roots.
What is the casparian strip?
400
Cellular membrane fluidity and permeability is determined by the interaction of saturated and kinky, unsaturated fats in this structure.
What is a phospholipid bilayer (hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails)?
500
Synapsis (physical alignment of homologs), crossing over, and reduction division only occur in this cellular process.
What are processes unique to meiosis?
500
Along with the lack of gene flow and lack of natural selection, these three requirements are present at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
What are no mutation, random mating, and large population size?
500
This event during meiosis most often creates high testosterone males (XYY) and infertile females (XO) in humans.
What is nondisjunction?
500
α-glucose is stock piled by plants as starch in these sub-cellular structures.
What are plastids?
500
When an exergonic process drives an endergonic process by removing a phosphate group from ATP creating ADP to harness energy for biological processes.
What is energy coupling?
