These types of bonds result from atoms sharing electrons either "equally" or "unequally."

Covalent Bonds

100

This component of the endomembrane system is dotted with ribosomes and is involved in protein synthesis

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

100

This type of reaction is defined by a positive change in Gibb's free energy as smaller molecules are built into larger ones

Anabolic Reaction

100

This event in prophase I involves the exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids

Crossing Over

100

This process occurs when a stressor in the environment favors/disfavors a certain phenotype, altering genotype frequencies in future generations

Natural Selection

200

Built out of amino acids, these organic molecules compose enzymes and motor fibers.

Proteins

200

This chemical stabilizes the fluidity of the phospholipid bilayer in extreme temperatures

Cholesterol

200

Synthesized via cellular respiration, this molecule acts as a "currency" that can be spent to do work in a cell

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)

200

Through the use of an electric field, this biotechnology sorts DNA strands by length

Gel Electrophoresis

200

This formula represents the persistence of genotype frequencies in a population not undergoing evolutionary change

p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1

300

These organic molecules are generally hydrophobic, as they are composed mainly of carbon and hydrogen.

Lipids

300

Built out of actin proteins, this component of the cytoskeleton is involved in muscle contraction and intracellular transportation.

Microfilaments

300

This stage of cellular respiration begins with the combination of acetyl CoA and a regenerated OAA, turning twice per glucose molecule

Citric Acid/Krebs Cycle

300

This type of mutation has the greatest effects when it occurs on the "upstream" end of mRNA as it prematurely terminates translation

Nonsense Mutation

300

This species definition relies on two different species filling two different niches/functions

Ecological Species Concept (ESC)

400

Taking place in the nucleus, this process creates an mRNA transcript from a strand of DNA.

Transcription

400

Dimerization of this receptor leads to phosphorylation of signal proteins

Receptor (Tyrosine) Kinases

400

This molecule is the final destination of electrons travelling through the electron transport chain and is reduced into water

Oxygen (O2)

400

Calculated from the portion of recombinant offspring to total offspring (times 100%), this value is less than 50% between linked genes.

Recombination Frequency

400

This mode of reproductive isolation occurs when two organisms have incompatible genitalia/reproductive organs

Mechanical Isolation (Pre-Zygotic)

500

This portion of tRNA matches with a codon to bring the appropriate amino acid to the growing polypeptide chain

Anticodon

500

This connecting junction is found between plant cells and forms a continuous cytoplasm 

Plasmodesmata

500

Six of these carbon-based molecules are generated in the Calvin cycle, with one being released to undergo other metabolic processes

Glyceraldehyde 3-Phosphate (G3P)

500

In the absence of lactose, this type of gene regulation occurs when a repressor protein binds to lacO, preventing the transcription of genes within the operon

Negative Transcriptional Regulation

500

This type of grouping includes a common ancestor and some, but not all, of its decedents, with modern fish being an example of this.

Paraphyletic Group
