Heredity
This is the ultimate source of genetic variation.
What are mutations?
Finish this statement: individuals do not evolve, _____________________.
What is populations do?
This level of ecological organization includes all the members of a species.
What is population?
This organ system contains the largest organ in the body.
What is the integumentary system?
This characteristic of life is vital to a species not becoming extinct and passing on their genes to offspring.
In this pattern of complex inheritance, there are more than two possible alleles for one gene, but you only inherit two of those alleles.
What is multiple alleles?
This principle of natural selection results from a variation that is beneficial and confers some sort of advantage in survival and/or reproduction of offspring?
What is adaptation?
This type of symbiosis results in one organism benefiting while the other organism neither benefits nor is harmed.
What is commensalism?
This organ system regulates gas exchange (oxygen and carbon dioxide), but does not assist with nutrient transporrt.
What is the repiratory system?
This dogma asserts that mRNA is made from DNA through the process of transcription and protein is in turn made from that mRNA by a process called translation.
What is the central dogma of genetics.
Different versions of the same gene (one of paternal and one of maternal origin)? Hint: it's not homologous genes.
What are alleles?
This is happening when each of these condititons is met: the population is large, mating is random, and there is no migration, no mutations and no natural selection.
What is genetic equilibrium or Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium or there is NO evolution?
This biogeochemical cycle requires living organisms at each and every step.
What is the nitrogen cycle?
The organ system helps to defend, deflect, and destroy pathogens that invade the body.
What is the lymphatic system? Will also take the immune system.
This organelle processes, sorts, and ships proteins where they need to go.
What is the Golgi apparatus or the Golgi complex?
This is a chart used to trace the phenotypes and genotypes among multiple members of a family to determine whether people carry diseases or traits?
What is a pedigree?
In this type of macroevolution pattern, a number of different species arise from one common ancestor.
What is divergent evolution?
This characteristic of life asserts that all organisms contain this material which serves as their instructions for making proteins.
What is DNA/RNA or genetic material?
This organ system asissts with posture and stabilization of our bones, but is not the skeletal system.
What is the muscular system?
This cell organelle is only found in eukaryotic cells,stores our genetic material, and without which cells would not have the instructions for making proteins.
What is the nucleus?
When chromosomes separate during meiosis, each gamete will only receive one copy of an allele. This describes which of Mendel's Law.
In morphology, these are similar structures that evolved independently in different organisms but serve similar purposes.
What are analogous structures?
This Kingdom is mostly multicellular, but does contain single-celled yeast.
This organ system coordinates the response to sensory information.
What is the nervous system?
Without this, organisms would be identical or almost identical and not have the ability to evolve and/or adapt to their environment.
