Chapter 1 God's Living World
Needing energy, responding to stimuli, and being able to reproduce are characteristics of what
Life
Called the "powerhouse of the cell," this organelle generates most of the cell's ATP
The Mitochondria
consisting of a base, a sugar and a phosphate, this is what makes up your DNA
Nucleotide
alleles for this type of trait are represented by an uppercase letter, and will present over a recessive trait
Dominent traits
the preserved remains of plants and animals
Fossils
The factors that change in a controlled experiment
Variables
this process uses energy from the sun to turn carbon dioxide and water into glucose
Photosynthesis
A section of DNA Molecule that codes for a unique protein
Gene
the observable characteristics a genotype represents, such as white feathers or pink flowers
Phenotype
Different groups of organisms that God created to be distinct from each other such as fish, birds, and trees
kinds
Eukaryotic cells have this and prokaryotic cells don't
Nucleus
This is the process of breaking down molecules to produce ATP
Cellular respiration
interphase, mitosis and cytokinesis are all a part of this cycle
The cell cycle
If a crossbreed between a red flower and a white flower produced offspring that had flowers with both red and white blotches it would be this type of dominance
codominance
fossil formation requires rabid burial in water borne sediment and many fossils are posed in ways that look like they are struggling or overturned. This suggests this type of mass extinction event
A worldwide flood
The name of the science of sorting organisms into groups
Taxonomy
the green pigment in a plant that absorbs energy from sunlight to be used in photosynthesis
chlorophyll
The process of forming RNA from DNA
transcription
This is a tool geneticists use to predict the likelihood that an offspring will express specific traits passed down from its parents
Punnett square
A type of fossil that consists of all or part of the original organism such as bugs encased in amber or teeth
Original material
If i described my cat Quasimodo as chubby, cute, and round this would be this type of data
Qualitative
The cell's membrane allows some substances to pass through but not others, this means it is...
selectively permeable
The base pair for cytosine in DNA
guanine
Random change in the ratio of alleles in a population over time
Genetic drift
A method of rock dating that measures radioactive isotopes that yields results that are problematically young from an evolutionists point of view
Carbon 14 dating
