Cell Division
Cell Division that results in 2 IDENTICAL Cells
What is Mitosis?
The process that produces oxygen and glucose
What is Photosynthesis?
Collection of similar cells working together to complete a job.
What is a tissue?
What is phenotype?
A physical or behavioral trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its specific environment
What is An Adaptation?
Cell Division that reduces the number of chromosomes by half
What is Meiosis?
A community of organisms interacting with their environment.
What is an ecosystem?
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen
What are the elements that make up proteins?
The alleles for a heterozygous individual.
What is "Aa"
a fundamental mechanism of evolution where organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring
What is Natural Selection?
2 reasons that mitosis in multicellular organisms is important.
What are growth and repair?
The theoretical maximum a population in an area can be.
What is Carrying Capacity?
The way that the respiratory system and the circulatory system work together.
The respiratory system brings in oxygen and the circulatory system brings it to the cells. The cells release CO2 as a waste product, the circulatory system brings it back to the lungs, and the respiratory system breathes out the waste CO2.
Blood Typing is a common example of this type of genetic dominance.
What is CoDominance?
(and/or polygenetics)
Organism or species from which two or more different species (descendants) have evolved over time.
What is Common Ancestry?
The process(NOT PHASE) that has to occur before any kind of cell division.
What is DNA Replication?
Some ways that human activity can impact an ecosystem.
What are Pollution, habitat destruction, climate change?
An example of Negative Feedback
What is body temperature, blood sugar, something that has a response and a counter response.
The process of turning DNA into mRNA in the nucleus
What is transcription?
Physical features in different organisms that are similar in structure but different in function. (they help show common ancestry)
What are homologous structures?
This allows for genetic variation among offspring.
What is meiosis?
(Crossing Over)
What is the short term effect on the prey population when the predator population declines
The way the body responds to high blood sugar levels.
What happens when the pancreas releases insulin?
During Translation, the rna codon "AUG" will code for which Amino Acid
What is Methionine (MET or Start)
physical features/structures/behaviors in an organism that have lost most or all of their original function through evolution.
What is a vestigial structure?
