Cell Biology
This structure controls what enters and leaves the cell.
What is the Cell membrane?
This molecule carries genetic information in most organisms.
What is DNA?
This scientist proposed natural selection.
Who is Charles Darwin?
This system transports nutrients and gases.
What is the circulatory system?
A group of the same species in one area is called this.
What is a population?
This organelle is responsible for producing ATP through cellular respiration.
What are Mitochondria?
Different versions of the same gene are called these.
What are alleles?
Traits that improve reproductive success are called these.
What are adaptations?
This organ pumps blood.
What is the heart?
Organisms that produce their own food are called these.
What are autotrophs?
This process moves substances from high to low concentration without energy.
What is Diffusion?
This principle states that alleles assort independently if they are on different chromosomes or far apart on the same chromosome.
What is the law of independent assortment?
This type of selection favors intermediate phenotypes over extremes.
What is stabilizing selection?
This system regulates the body using hormones.
What is the endocrine system?
The functional role of a species in its environment is its this.
What is a niche?
These proteins speed up chemical reactions in cells without being consumed.
What are enzymes?
This phenomenon occurs when one gene influences multiple, seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits.
What is pleiotropy?
This model describes evolutionary change as long periods of stability interrupted by rapid speciation events.
What is punctuated equilibrium?
This equation describes the relationship between pressure, flow, and resistance in blood vessels.
What is Q=P/R?
This curve describes population growth that slows as it approaches carrying capacity due to limiting factors.
What is logistic growth?
This process selectively degrades ubiquitin-tagged proteins via a large multi-subunit complex.
This process selectively degrades ubiquitin-tagged proteins via a large multi-subunit complex.
This genetic mapping measure corresponds to a 1% recombination frequency between loci.
What is a centimorgan?
This concept describes the non-random association of alleles at different loci in a population.
What is linkage disequilibrium?
This region of the nephron is primarily responsible for establishing the osmotic gradient via countercurrent multiplication.
What is the loop of Henle?
This rule predicts species richness based on island size and distance from the mainland.
What is the theory of island biogeography?
