An inherited trait that increases an organism’s ability to survive and reproduce in its environment
Adaptation
100
Organisms that capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce "food", such as energy-storing carbohydrates
autotrophs
100
This is an organisms haploid number if its diploid number is 38.
19
100
This is the base unit of all nucleic acids.
Nucleotide
100
This is the base unit of Proteins.
Amino Acid
200
If more individuals are born than can survive, members of a population must compete to obtain food, living space, and other limited necessities of life
DAILY DOUBLE
Overproduction
200
Any living (or once living) part of the environment with which an organism might interact
biotic factor
200
This is the genetic makeup of an organism.
Genotype
200
These bonds hold 2 strands of DNA together, but also allow these 2 strands to separate for replication.
THESE are a pair of chromosomes, each one coming from a different parent
Homologous
300
According to Chargaff's rule, if a DNA sample contains 21% Adenine, THIS is how much Cytosine it contains.
29%
300
Chemical substances that an organism needs to build tissues and carry out life functions
nutrients
400
Similar body structures shared by related species that have been inherited from a common ancestor
Homologous
400
A group of individuals of same species that lives in one area
Population
400
If you cross an individual that is heterozygous for a trait with an individual that is homozygous recessive for the same trait, what is the probability that an offspring could also be homozygous recessive?
50%
400
THIS is the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology.
DNA --Transcription--> RNA --Translation--> Protein
400
This is the creation of RNA from a DNA template.
Transcription
500
The process by which organisms with variations most suited to their local environment survive and leave more offspring.
Natural Selection
500
Closed loops in which elements are passed from 1 organism to another, and from 1 part of the biosphere to another
Biogeochemical Cycles
500
States that during gamete formation, genes for different traits separate without influencing each other's inheritance.
DAILY DOUBLE
Principle of Independent Assortment
500
THIS is a sequence of DNA that contains instructions for assembling proteins.
Gene
500
A measurement of human demand on nature which represents the productive area required to provide the renewable resources humanity is using and to absorb its waste.
