Origin and Chemistry of Life
The monomer for this macromolecule is called amino acids.
Protein
THE POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL
Mitochondria
The difference between offspring in sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction.
Offspring are genetically unique versus identical.
The term to describe the physical trait that comes from a genotype.
Phenotype
Early evolution was driven by this
Radical changes in climate
The Central Dogma of Biology describes this flow of genetic information.
DNA to RNA to Protein
The movement of water across a cell membrane
Osmosis
The mitotic phase where chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
Metaphase
A farmer is breeding cows and their fur color is a polygenic trait. The alleles are White (W), Red (R), and Roan (RW). A white cow is crossed with a spotted, roan cow. If What percentage of offspring will be roan?
50% Roan
The difference between biotic and abiotic environmental factors.
living, not living.
The cellular events that turn DNA into RNA, and then RNA into proteins.
Transcription and Translation
The main difference between passive and active transport
Active transport uses energy (ATP), Passive does not
The phase of the cell cycle where DNA replication occurs.
Interphase
The cell type that results in the fertilization of the egg from the sperm.
Zygote
This type of genetic drift is caused by a subgroup of the species moving to a new location and starting a new population
Founder effect
This gene and protein that are mutated in the disease Musclar Dystrophy
Dystrophin
DAILY DOUBLE!
This process describes the passage of molecules in a vesicle to be transferred from the inside to the outside of the cell.
Exocytosis
Paired chromosomes that share the same genes but with different sequences.
Homologous
The overall goal of Meiosis as it pertains to offspring genetics.
Diversity
The process by which organisms with favorable traits are selected by their environments to survive and reproduce the next generation
Natural Selection
The amino acid sequence for this DNA strand: TAC GCT AAG
MET ARG PHE
The cell's energy molecule
ATP
The exchange of genes between homologous chromosomes during prophase I of Meiosis.
Crossing Over
A dog is a diploid organism with 78 chromosomes. If its reproductive cells undergo meiosis, what number of chromosomes will each cell have?
39
