Genetics
This is the Carbon number (location) that a nitrogenous base will be attached to a pentose sugar in a nucleotide.
What is 1 prime?
This type of selection occurs when an adaptation helps attract a mate, increasing the likelihood of passing on genes.
What is sexual selection?
These bacterial structures allow bacteria to link together for conjugation, where they exchange bits of their plasmid DNA.
What are pili?
This enzyme is produced by the salivary glands or the pancreas, and is responsible for digesting carbohydrates.
What is amylase?
This enzyme is responsible for linking together the fragments of DNA that are being built as the lagging strand during DNA replication.
What is DNA Ligase?
This process occurs during Meiosis I while homologous chromosomes are paired up, and can help increase genetic diversity.
What is crossing over?
This effect occurs when a small part of a population moves to a new place, and then all the future populations of that place share common genes with those few ancestors.
What is the Founder effect?
This type of fungus is more commonly known as bread mould.
What is Rhizopus?
Lipids that have multiple double-bonds in their fatty acid chains are known as this.
What are polyunsaturated fats?
In natural selection, evolution is driven by changes to this, which make some species less fit for survival than they previously were.
What is the environment?
In a pedigree, this type of inheritance pattern is most likely when all of the offspring affected by a disorder are males.
What is X-linked RECESSIVE?
Human babies cannot have too small or too large heads, as either would be a less successful trait. Average sized heads are most likely to occur in the population. This example describes this type of selective distribution?
What is stabilizing selection?
What is the lytic cycle?
This structure, the first part of the small intestine, is responsible for the first steps of absorbing nutrients from chyme into the bloodstream.
What is the duodenum?
This type of symmetry, seen commonly in Cnidaria, means an animal would be a mirror image of itself no matter which direction you slice it in half.
What is radial symmetry?
This type of inheritance pattern would lead to a spotted brown/white cow if one parent was brown and the other was white.
What is Co-Dominance?
The Earth used to be connected in a big continent called Pangaea, which leads to us finding homologous structures in animals from different continents. This is an example of this type of evolutionary evidence.
What is Biogeography?
This type of vessel in plants is responsible for transporting sugar from the leaves to the rest of the plant.
What is Phloem?
This type of chemical reaction is responsible for breaking down polymers into their monomer parts during digestion.
What is hydrolysis?
Negative feedback loops help stabilize things in our bodies, such as this molecule that is sensed by chemoreceptors, which then trigger your brain to increase your ventilation rate.
What is carbonic acid?
Human cells have this many chromosomes at the START of Meiosis II?
What are 23?
Isolating mechanisms can lead to speciation. This type of mechanism occurs in species that can physically mate, but the sperm will not recognize the egg, meaning no offspring can be produced.
What is gametic isolation?
This term describes the female reproductive structures of a flower.
What is the pistil (Carpel also acceptable).
What is the P wave?
A bacteria that is rod shaped and connected in long chains would be called this.
What is streptobacillus?
