Biology A
A possible answer to a scientific question; an educated guess.
What is a hypothesis?
These simple molecules form the basis of all proteins
What are amino acids?
When several genes influence a trait, this is called what?
Polygenic Inheritance
A biomolecule that serves as a fast source of energy.
What are carbohydrates?
These are the 3 parts of a nucleotide.
What is Nitrogen Base, Sugar, Phosphate Group
This theory includes that all organisms are made up of cells, the cell is the basic unit of life, cells arise from pre-existing cells, cells carry genetic information, cells are chemically similar in species, and energy flow occurs within cells.
The Cell Theory
What are the four macromolecules?
A students observes a cell where the chromosomes appear to be pulled apart by spindle fibers. These two final steps would come after this.
What are telophase and cytokinesis?
Both Organisms involved Benefit. Ex clownfish and anemone
Mutualism

Sex-linked
The process that happens during Meiosis where chromosomes swap segments.
What is Crossing Over?
How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration interrelated?
The products of photosynthesis are reactants of cellular respiration and vice versa.
The 4 nitrogen bases found in DNA.
What are Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine?
***Chose any group to lose 400 points***

These are the outputs of cellular respiration
What are water, carbon dioxide, and ATP?
6CO2 + 6H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6O2
What is photosynthesis?
Imagine 2 heterozygous parents: Each has a dominant allele (B) for brown eyes and a recessive allele (b) for blue eyes. What is the genotypic & phenotypic ratio of the offspring.
G: 25% BB, 50% Bb, 25% bb
P: 75% Brown eyes : 25% Blue eyes
The formula of Glucose
C6 H12 O6
These are the two types of organisms
