100

A possible answer to a scientific question; usually presents the independent and dependent variable and the relationship between them.  

Hypothesis

100

These simple molecules form the basis of all proteins

amino acids

100

The 4 bases found in DNA.

A, T, G & C

100

describe the alleles present for a characteristic and are always described using letters e.g. Bb, bb, BB

Genotypes

100

The process that occurs during meiosis I that leads to genetic variation in the resulting daughter cells

Crossing over

200

This RNA is transcribed from a section of DNA and later leaves the nucleus in order to be translated into an amino acid chain.

mRNA

200

This is the equation for...

6CO2 + 6H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Photosynthesis

200

genetically pre-programmed. With repeated exposure to the same pathogen, the body responds in exactly the same way.

Innate immune response

200

What is missing from Koch Postulates?

  1. The same micro-organism must be present in every diseased host.
  2. The microorganism must be isolated and cultured in the laboratory and accurately described and recorded.

  3. The microorganism must be able to be isolated from the second host and cultured and identified as the same as the original species.

When a sample of the pure culture is inoculated into a healthy host, this host must develop the same symptoms as the original host.

200

When both alleles are present they will mix to create a new phenotype/trait

Incomplete dominance

300

This process produces four genetically unique cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as in the parent

Meiosis

300

a process where organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce more successfully

Natural Selection

300

generates offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent.

Asexual reproduction

300

the response of the system is to increase or reinforce the initial change

positive feedback

300

The process in which genetic instructions in mRNA are "read" to synthesize a protein with the help of tRNA.

Translation

400

Ribosomes read the mRNA and hook the correct amino acid (then a protein is made after folding)

Translation

400

a loss of genetic variation that happens when a new population is started by a very small number of individuals from a larger parent population

The founder effect

400

Another term for heterozygous characteristics

Hybrid

400

a random permanent change in the DNA sequence of an organism.

Mutation

400

a heritable trait that enhances an organism's survival and reproduction in its environment

Adaptation

500

An organic compound consisting of one or more long chains of amino acids connected by peptide bonds and has a distinct and varied three-dimensional (3D) structure.

Protein 

500

proteins made in response to antigens.

Antibodies

500

alleles that do not show up in the physical appearance of an organism unless there are two of them present

Recessive

500

Sickle cell anemia is a recessive disease. If you cross two parents with the alleles Aa x Aa, what are their children's chances of having sickle cell anemia?
