monomer of a carbohydrate
monosaccharide
chloroplasts / chlorophyll
the reactants of photosynthesis
water, CO2, and light energy
transcription takes place in this organelle
the nucleus
similar anatomical structures, different functions are known as
homologous structures
type of transport that moves bulk materials into the cell
endocytosis
organelle that makes proteins using mRNA
ribosomes
this process requires oxygen and creates water in the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
electron transport chain
a gene that is only expressed if both copies are present
recessive gene
the concept of humans selecting desired traits in species for exploitation is known as
artificial selection
the bond that holds oxygen and hydrogen together in a water molecule
function of carbohydrates in the cell membrane
recognize components coming in to the cell
the names of both FULL electron shuttle buses used in cellular respiration
NADH and FADH2
the two mutation types that cause frameshifts
insertion and deletion
when gene frequencies are changed by random events in a isolated population, the process is known as
genetic drift
solutions are mixtures where the solute completely dissolves in the solvent. what is it called when the solute doesn't dissolve?
suspensions
because DNA has one old strand and one new strand, the type of replication is called...
semiconservative replication
the type of plant tropism based on touch
thigmotropism
if a white-furred rabbit breeds with a black-furred rabbit and all of their offspring have a phenotype of gray fur, what type of inheritance is that?
incomplete dominance
three ways to start the process of evolution (think of the 3 mechanisms)
mutations, sexual reproduction, gene flow
the enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen
catalase
when there is more "stuff" outside a cell and water moves out, what is the solution called?
hypertonic solution
how is acetaldehyde converted to ethanol in alcoholic fermentation, and what is released as a byproduct of the entire process?
NADH drops off the electrons and H+ at acetaldehyde which converts it. CO2 is a byproduct
In rabbits, gray fur is dominant to white and red eyes are recessive to black eyes.
A rabbit homozygous for gray fur and red eyes is crossed with a heterozygous rabbit.
How many offspring will have GRAY fur and BLACK eyes?
1/2 or 50%
the nodes on a cladogram represent...
common ancestors or speciation event
