Vertebrates are least likely to undergo this type of reproduction that results in offspring that are identical to parent.
What is Asexual Reproduction?
A change in the allele frequentcy of a gene pool over generations.
What is evolution?
The result of incomplete (not enough) absorption of water from the large intestine.
What is a Diarrhea?
Contains xylem and phloem and is used to transport water, sugars and other solutes around the plant.
What is Vascular Tissue?
In the 18th century he created a system based on physical and structural featured to divide organisms into specie classes.
Who is Carl Linnaeus?
An increase in gentic diversity results from this event in anaphase I.
What is random assortment of chromosomes?
A change in the allele frequency of the gene pool of a small population due to chance.
What is genetic drift?
If the esophageal sphincter allows acidic chyme to back up into the esophagus, this condion results.
What is heartburn?
The vacular cambium makes new xylem and phloem and is an example of this type of plant tissue.
What is the meritematic tissue?
A cell with a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles.
What is a Eukaryotic cell?
The Mendelian Law that states each individual has two alleles for each trait that sepatate in the formation of a gamete.
What is the Law of Segregation?
Species in the same area that do not interbreed because they occupy different habitats.
What is (pre-zygotic) Habitat Isolation ?
The chamber of the heart that pumps blood to the lungs.
What is the Right Ventricle?
The movement of phloem sap due to pressue differences around the plant is called.
What is the pressure flow theory?
A method of viral reproduction where the virus inserts its DNA into the host's DNA so it gets replicated when the host cell divides.
What is the Lysogenic Cycle?
The parent genotypes that result in a 3:1 phenotypic ratio in the offspring.
What is heterzygous?
Two species arise from a common ancestor.
What is Divergent Evolution?
A secretion from the liver, that is stored in the gall bladder, that helps emulsify fats in the duodenum.
What is bile?
Plant cells that are responsible for storage, photosynthesis, and gas exchange.
What are Parenchyma Cells (Ground tissue), specifically pallisade and spongy mesophyll cells in the leaves?
The process that describes a larger cell engolfing a mitochondrion like bacterial cell resulting in a eukaryotic cell.
What is endosymbiosis?
If a mother carries the red/green colourbind gene, what is the chance that her son will be colourblind?
What is 50%?
A similar trait that derrived from separate ancestors due to similar selective pressures.
What is an analogous structure?
The small hair like structures on the epithelial cells of the trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles, that help sweep mucus and trapped particles away from the lungs.
What are cillia?
A cross section of this stucture, shows the xylem in an X-shape or star-shape, while phloem surround the xylem.
What is a Dicot Root?
