Ecosystems
What is carrying capacity?
DNA stands for this.
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
The longest stage of the cell cycle.
What is interphase?
This carries genetic instructions from DNA.
What is mRNA?
Meiosis produces these cells.
What are gametes?
The twisted ladder shape of DNA.
What is double helix?
These factors affect populations regardless of size.
What are density-independent factors?
Base pairing rule in DNA.
What is A-T and C-G?
The phase of mitosis where chromosomes become visible and the nucleus breaks down.
What is prophase?
This is where proteins are made.
What is the ribosome?
This increases genetic variation.
What is crossing over?
The “rungs” of DNA are made of these.
What are base pairs?
Disease and predatin are examples of these.
What are density-dependent factors?
The shape of DNA.
What is a double helix?
The phase where chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
What is metaphase?
Codons code for these.
What are amino acids?
Homologous chromosomes separate during this.
What is meiosis I?
Structure that pulls chromosomes apart.
What are spindle fibers?
This type of growth is rapid and J-shaped.
What is exponential growth?
The three parts of a nucleotide.
What are sugar, phosphate, and nitrogen base?
The phase where sister chromatids are pulled apart.
What is anaphase?
DNA→ mRNA is called this.
What is transcription?
Sister chromatids separate during this.
What is meiosis II?
The site of protein assembly in cells.
What is the ribosome?
These prevent populations from growing forever.
What are limiting factors?
DNA differs from RNA because it contains this base.
What is thymine?
The final stage where two new nuclei form and the cell begins to split.
What is telophase(and cytokinesis)?
mRNA→ protein is called this.
What is translation?
Final result of meiosis.
What are four genetically different haploid cells?
The plateau in a population graph represents this.
What is carrying capacity?
