Biological Principles
This field of science is regulated to the study of life
What is biology?
Monomers can join together to form
What are polymers?
The primary function of this molecule is energy provision for cell activities
What is glucose?
Division of the cell nucleus is termed
What is mitosis?
Deemed the "Father of (Modern) Genetics"
Who is Gregor Mendel?
A proposed explanation that is also testable
What is a hypothesis?
Enzymes are the typical function for this macromolecule
What are proteins?
Breaking glucose into 2 molecules of pyruvic acid is the name of the game for this cellular process in the cytoplasm
What is glycolysis?
The phase dedicated to synthesizing DNA before cell division
What is S phase?
Two different forms of the same gene are called this
What are alleles?
This type of passive transport is needed for molecules that require no cellular energy, but a specific transporter
What is facilitated diffusion?
The change in this measure of H+ concentration (acidity) can irreparably damage a cell
What is pH?
The final electron acceptor in cellular respiration
What is oxygen?
This phase of mitosis is denoted by duplicated chromosomes becoming visible and spindle formation
What is prophase?
This is the chance of having an heterozygous individual if the parents are both homozygous dominant
What is 0%?
Organelle often referred to as, "the powerhouse of the cell"
What is the mitochondria?
The always-warm climate of Tampa is due to water's ability to form what type of weak bond
What is a hydrogen bond (H-bond)?
Roughly 32 of these molecules are produced to provide energy by the end of respiration
What is ATP?
What is the diploid number for a 2n=46 cell after S phase?
What is 2n=46 (no change)?
Having two distinct traits shown rather than a "blend" occurs in this type of non-Mendelian inheritance
Properties unseen at smaller levels that become apparent as complexity increases are said to be
What is/are emergent/emerging properties?
This energy-storing macromolecule is not a "true" polymer
What is a lipid/fat?
Eating about 368 Twinkies would get you drunk due to this process where yeast convert sugar into alcohol
What is fermentation?
A dysregulation or cessation of this category leads to this abnormal cell growth
What is a tumor/cancer?
This type of Punnett square shows 16 possible outcomes for a specific combination of 4 alleles rather than 4 outcomes for 2 alleles
What is a dihybrid (cross)?
