7.1-72. Intro to Natural Selection
What is the best definition of "fitness"?
What part of the structure of water allows for its special properties (i.e. surface tension, evaporative cooling, etc.)?
What is "polarity"?
What elements do ALL macromolecules have?
What are "Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen"?
What function do carbohydrates and lipids have in common?
What is "they are both used for energy"?
The variable that I purposely change/manipulate
What is the "independent variable"?
Mice have different fur coat colors. What is this an example of?
What is "Phenotypic variation"?
Humans produce sweat as a cooling mechanism to maintain a stable internal temperature.
Which property of water contributes to this physiological process?
Which macromolecule contains Sulfur?
What are "proteins"?
What is the function of a nucleic acid?
What is "storing genetic information"?
What is the variable that I measure/collect data on?
What is the "Dependent Variable"?
A group of tan and black rock pocket mice migrate to an area that is covered in black volcanic rock. What will happen to them immediately?
What is "The tan will be more easily spotted by predators"?
The property of water that allows water bugs to stand on top of the water AND water not to overflow a cup?
What is "surface tension"?
What two macromolecules contain nitrogen?
What are "proteins + nucleic acids"?
If I were to give a drug that prohibited the formation of hydrogen bonds, what level of protein structure would most likely be affected?
What is "Secondary structure"?
What are the 5 requirements for a graph? (Hint: TALKS)
What is "Title, Axis, Labels, Key & Scale"?
A group of mostly tan and a few black rock pocket mice migrate to an area that is covered in black volcanic rock. What will the population look a few years after moving to the area?
What is "They will be mostly black"?
Water likes to stick to other water molecules. This is called...?
What is "cohesion"?
Which TWO macromolecules contain phosphorous?
What part of the amino acid gives each one it's unique properties?
What is the "R Group"?
To investigate variation in stem trichome density within the plant species, a student counted the number of trichomes on the stems of six plants in each of three different populations. The student used the data to calculate the mean trichome density (numbers of hairs per square centimeter) for each population.
What type of graph should they draw based on this experiment?
What is a "bar graph"?
A group of tan and black rock pocket mice migrate to an area that is covered in black volcanic rock.
Who/what will determine how fit the mice are? (Hint: who will decide who lives and dies?)
What is "the predator"?
What causes water to be polar?
What is "the difference in electronegativity between oxygen (very high) and hydrogen (very low)"?
In _____________ macromolecules are broken down using water, while in _____________ they are built by removing water.
What is "hydrolysis", "dehydration synthesis" IN THE CORRECT ORDER?
If 30% of the nucleotides in a single-stranded molecule are adenine, then what percent are expected to be cytosine?
What is "20%"?
Given a bar graph, how do you determine if the data is statistically significant?
