Melanin
The type of genotype where BOTH alleles are the same (hint: AA or aa)
What is homozygous?
Unregulated cell division (mitosis) leads to this disease.
What is cancer? (formation of tumors)
A chart that shows evolutionary relationships
What is a phylogenetic tree?
The species from which all dogs evolved.
The (gray) wolf.
The organ system that the brain is a part of.
What is the nervous system?
A chart that tracks traits across multiple generations. Shaded individuals have the trait (could be dominant or recessive).
What is a pedigree?
What is apoptosis?
All of the available genes (and alleles) in a reproducing population
What is the gene pool?
A chart similar to a phylogenetic tree but shows evolutionary relationships AND shared characteristics.
What is a cladogram?
The organ that holds the air and is the location of gas exchange.
What are the lungs?
The place on the world where skin color will be darkest because of the amount of UV light.
Where is the equator?
An important, immortal cell line that caused a lot of controversy over the way a person's cells are used.
This mechanism of evolution comes from the population shrinking (from an avalanche, tsunami, earthquake).
What is genetic drift?
The type of evolution where humans choose which traits will be passed down to offspring.
The function of the stomach.
What is the breakdown of food?
The vitamin produced in the skin when it comes into contact with UV radiation.
What is Vitamin D?
This is the CORRECT order of the phases of mitosis.
What is Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis?
This mechanism of evolution comes from individuals migrating (moving to and from a geographic location)
What is gene flow?
A type of isolation where time active (the seasons, noctural vs. diurnal, etc.) prevents populations from reproducing.
What is temporal isolation?
The organ systems (2 main ones) involved in an athlete lifting weights.
Skin color becomes darker over time as people moved to areas with more UV radiation and people with more melanin (darker skin) didn't get skin cancer so they could survive and reproduce. This is an example of ___________.
What is evolution? (or natural selection)
This cell division process results in 4 unique cells
*BONUS QUESTION*
Are these cells haploid/diploid, somatic/gametes, and what is one example of the type of cell this could be?
What is meiosis?
When multiple, modern organisms have similar structures (bat wings and human hands) as a result of their common ancestry? (Hint: not the fossil record!)
What are homologous structures?
This is the CORRECT order of the levels of classification.
What is Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species?
All of the structures found in the circulatory system.
What are the heart and blood vessels?
