Unit 1
A method of research. This is how scientists are able to study the world, find evidence, and propose explanations.
What is scientific process?
This scientist used broth to prove that new bacteria arises only when living bacteria is already present.
Who is Louis Pasteur?
_____________ is the process during which a cell's vesicles release their contents outside of the cell.
What is ekocytosis?
What is the thin layer that surrounds the cell?
What is cell membrane?
A graphical representation of the possible outcomes of an offspring.
What is punnett square?
A possible explanation for your observation.
What is hypothesis?
A naming system that gives every organism a two-word name is __________________.
What is binomial nomenclature?
During ____________________, chromosomes become visible and the nuclear membrane disappears.
What is prophase?
This is the fluid in which organelles are suspended.
What is cytoplasm?
The combination of alleles for a particular gene.
What is genotype?
A summary of what has been learned from the experiment and how it relates to the hypothesis.
What is conclusion?
The first name of the organism's scientific name is the ______________________.
Genus
________________ is the movement of substances through a cell membrane only by using the cell's energy.
This organelle is nicknamed the powerhouse because it contains energy for the cell.
What is mitochondria?
The physical appearance of the genotype.
What is phenotype?
This is what you can change or control in an experiment. This is also what you test.
What is Independent variable
An organism's ability to maintain steady internal conditions when outside conditions change.
What is homeostasis?
During this phase, chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. Spindle fibers also attach to the chromosomes.
What is metaphase?
Photosynthesis occurs in this organelle.
What is chloroplast?
Alleles that only show their effect even if only one is present.
What is dominant?
The variable that stays the same in both experiments.
What is controlled variable?
Which domain has four kingdoms?
What is Eukarya?
During this phase, chromosomes divide into two sets. Each set is pulled away to opposite sides of the cell.
What is anaphase?
What are the green substances found inside chloroplasts?
What is chlorophyll?
When the alleles for a trait are different. For example, Rr.
What is heterozygous?
