C6H12O6 + O2 -->--> CO2 + H2O
What is the balanced equation for Cellular Respiration?
100
I am the cause of cancer. I randomly appear, and if I appear in the cell cycle regulatory genes I can leave behind a tumor that could be life threatening. What am I?
What is a mutation?
100
This process is when gametes are produced in the reproductive track. The chromosomes are randomly separated into zygotes that now have 23 chromosomes until fertilization occurs.
What is Meiosis?
100
His theories of evolution showed that live changes over time and that species are not permanent, but his explanation of inheritance of acquired traits was misleading.
Who is Lamarck?
100
The remaining follicle cells become the _______________.
What is the corpus luteam?
200
These structures determine the color of a plant by reflecting, transmitting, or absorbing different colors of light. The light that is absorbed is used to power photosynthesis.
What are pigments?
200
These three events are the reason for cellular division. They help replace dead cells, help humans grow in size, and keep the number of cells in the body at the same number.
What is repair, growth, and maintenance?
200
This type of gene seems to be the only gene affecting the traits of an offspring even though other genes are there.
What is a dominant gene?
200
An inherited characteristic that improves an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in a specific environment.
What is an adaptation?
200
This hormone is responsible for the thickening of the endometrium.
What is estrogen?
300
This type of organism produces their own food and undergoes the cellular processes of Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
What is an autotroph?
300
I come in twos that have the same gene, but different alleles. You received one of me from each parent, and contain 23 of me in each of your cells. What am I?
What is a Homologous pair of chromosomes?
300
These alternate forms of genes can com about by a mutation and can be passed down from generation to generation based on the cell that contains it. They are responsible for the traits of humans.
What is an allele?
300
It accounts for the evolution or extinction of a population over time. This could not occur without microevolution.
What is macroevolution
300
Falling levels of estrogen and progesterone trigger this phase.
What is menstruation?
400
As a source of atoms and energy, I am either stored in cells, burned off, or I exit the body as feces. What am i?
What is food?
400
Found on chromosomes, these structures contain nucleotides and nitrogen base pairs that code for enzymes necessary for completing the cellular processes of life.
What is DNA?
400
The joining of the egg and sperm to produce and offspring.
What is fertilization?
400
This process occurs when two organisms can not longer mate to produce fertile offspring. Through geographical barriers, different reproduction times, or different mating behaviors.
What is speciation?
400
The job of this part of the female reproductive system is to provide a suitable place for the baby to be nurtured and developed.
What is the uterus?
500
This process occurs more in a plant over the course of the year. It is responsible for the increase in biomass of the plant and the decrease of carbon dioxide in our ecosystem.
What is Photosynthesis?
500
This phase of a cell's life contains growth and DNA synthesis. At this time, DNA is in chromatin form as it prepares for replication so each daughter cell exits mitosis with a complete set of DNA. It is crucial to cellular division.
What is Interphase?
500
The laid out DNA that shows the genes and alleles and organism will have. Determines the phenotype.
What is a genotype?
500
These 4 things explain Darwin's idea of evolution by natural selection. They explain the differences within a population, the amount of offspring, the competition for limited resources, and how those individuals with advantageous traits survive and reproduce.
What is genetic variation, overproduction of offspring, struggle for existence, and differential in survival and reproduction?
500
This process occurs when a possible egg is released from the ovary, travels through the oviduct, and is released into the uterus.
What is ovulation?
