What is a keystone species?
Mutualism
What is a symbiotic relationship between two species in which both species benefit?

Role of ligase
Which enzyme joins the Okazaki fragments of the lagging strand created during DNA replication?
Double ring structure in the DNA molecule
What is a purine nitrogenous base?
The location of protein synthesis translation
What occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell, outside the nucleus?
Genetic species concept
Which species concept defines a species based on DNA and/or protein samples, looking for patterns in the genetic code of an organism?
Trophic level/energy pyramid
What is a level in an energy pyramid that shows an autotroph or heterotroph and shows the energy transfer of a food chain?
Spliceosomes
Which enzyme is responsible for removing introns from the pre-mRNA molecule before protein synthesis translation can begin?
OR
Which enzyme is responsible for removing introns from the pre-mRNA molecule before it is considered a mature mRNA transcript?
The "backbone" of the DNA molecule
What are phosphates and deoxyribose?
The transplantation of normal genes to replace missing or defective genes
What is gene therapy?
Methanogen
Which organism: is part of the archaea domain, lives in anaerobic conditions, can be found in marshes or near the ocean floor, and is also known as an extremophile?
Euglenoid
Which organism is a protist that can be autotrophic or heterotrophic depending on its environment?
The four properties common to all organisms
What does the following list represent?
DNA is the molecule of heredity, DNA replication is semiconservative, cell membrane contains a phospholipid bi-layer, and the cells engage in cellular respiration
The three amino acids represented by the following DNA code: TGC CGG, GCA
What are threonine, alanine, and arginine?
Mismatch repair
What occurs when DNA polymerase misses one of its mistakes (making a nitrogen base that is not complementary to its base pair partner) while building a new DNA strand during DNA replication?
