taking away polar contacts

changes in hydrophilic/hydrophobic 

steric clashes

changes in charge


100

species of low abundance but great significance to the ecosystem

keystone species

100

A class of computational models for simulating the actions of autonomous agents with to assess their effects on the system as a whole

what is the Agent Based Model

100

parasites that live outside their hosts

what are ectoparasites

100

A promotes function of, induces, creates, or increases B

What is the ---> symbol on a diagram

200

adults can drink milk is through the evolution of

lactose persistence

200

the way that nurses and foragers delegate tasks

based on the social context/what needs to get done

200

the number of people that need to be immunized in a population

pc / critical immunization threshold

200

stat. test that analyzes cause and effect

what is linear regression

300
lactose persistence arose because of 

the domestication of cows in europe and africa

300

when the ecosystem is disrupted because of a trophic level being disturbed

what is a trophic cascade

300

transcription factor that binds to enhancers (per/tim heterodimer) to drive transcription

Clk/Cyc

300

impact of a longer infection rate on an SIR model

increases the proportion of the infected population and slightly prolongs the disease’s persistence

300

the type of feedback that Maintains equilibrium/balance

negative feedback loop
400

speed of circadian rhythm if mutation messes up Dbt

circadian rhythm speeds up 
400

what the ideal SIR model looks like

what is a flat infection rate
400

how parasites become insecticide resistant

Mutations occur at random → selective pressure, survival of the fittest

500

the lac operon is this specific type of operon

inducible operon

500

ocean acidification's impact on one ecological hierarchy

Ocean acidification hurts the organismal success of sea urchins, which is beneficial for kelp and other lower trophic level species
