Genetics
the expression of traits, based on allele combination
What is phenotype?
a process of cell duplication, which one cell gives rise to two genetically identical daughter cells
What is mitosis?
The name of organisms that are able to make their own food, also known as producers.
What are autotrophs?
A feature that helps an organism survive in its environment.
What is an adaptation?
The smallest, most basic building block of all matter
What are atoms?
combinations of alleles that code for traits
What is genotype?
The type of cell division that is important for genetic variety and the production of gametes
What is meiosis?
The name of organisms that have to eat in order to get energy, also known as consumers
What are heterotrophs?
A well supported and approved explanation acquired through the scientific method
Scientific Theory
A living unit made of many molecules, the basic level of structure in living organisms
What is a cell?
A structure of tightly packed DNA. Humans have 23 pairs of this said structure
What are chromosomes?
The division of cytoplasm to form two new cells
What is cytokinesis?
The domain of organisms that are able to live in extreme environments
What is Archaea?
The idea that organisms with adaptations better suited to an environment are more likely to live and reproduce
One of the two organelles/structures found only in PLANT cells.
What is a cell wall?
or
What are chloroplasts?
An inheritance pattern where the phenotype of a heterozygous organism will blend between the phenotypes of its homozygous parents (red + white = pink flowers)
What is incomplete dominance?
a process where chromosomes exchange genetic material, creating new combinations of genes
What is crossing over?
The two taxa used for scientific naming, also called binomial nomenclature
What are genus and species?
This increases the likelihood of an advantageous allele, suited for a changing environment, to be present within a population.
What is genetic variation?
The organelle that uses nutrients to generate energy for cells through CELLULAR RESPIRATION?
What is a mitochondria?
The GENOTYPE for an organism that expresses the recessive phenotype (not letters)
What is homozygous recessive?
The phase of cell reproduction where crossing over occurs
What is prophase I?
The kingdom for organisms with the following characteristics:
- Multicellular
- Eukaryotic
- Heterotrophic
What is animalia (I will also take: what are animals?)
The change in the characteristics of a species over several generations.
What is evolution?
The organelle that contains the DNA for cells, and controls cell function.
What is a nucleus?
