What is adenosine triphosphate?
2 parts of the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology.
What is transcription and translation?
The smallest part of an element that has properties of said element.
What is an atom?
Paired chromosomes of the same type.
What is homologous?
The study of how and why organisms live where they do.
What is biogeography?
The process by which a cell uses oxygen & glucose to create 32 ATP. The byproducts are carbon dioxide and water.
What is cellular respiration?
The use of technology to change the genetic makeup of living things for human purposes.
What is biotechnology?
The energy needed to start a chemical reaction.
What is activation energy?
Expression of an organism's genotype.
What is phenotype?
Evolution reduced their structure because they were no longer needed.
What is vestigial structure?
A type of cell that does NOT have a nucleus.
What is a prokaryotic cell?
Has a positive effect and can increase an organism's chance of survival.
What is a beneficial mutation?
Non-metal atoms share a pair of electrons UNEQUALLY.
What is a polar covalent bond?
2 alleles for a gene are expressed equally in the phenotype of heterozygotes.
What is codominance?
When organisms with beneficial traits produce more offspring and those without the trait eventually die out.
What is natural selection?
When chromosomes/sister chromatids do not separate properly during meiosis.
What is nondisjunction?
All the DNA of the human species.
What is the human genome?
Very large molecules with repeating units of monomers.
What is a polymer?
What is Law of Independent Assortment?
The study of similarities and differences in embryos of different species.
What is comparative embryology?
The 3 cell cycle checkpoints.
What is cell growth, DNA synthesis, and Mitosis?
Characteristics of the genetic code.
What is universal, unambiguous, and redundant?
Dissolves in water; lowers blood glucose and cholesterol.
What is soluble fiber?
Genes that affect more than 1 phenotypic trait.
What is pleiotrophy?
The 4 forces that cause allele frequency changes.
What is mutation, gene flow, genetic drift, and natural selection?
