Natural Selection
The natural selection
key mechanism of evolution
The nitrogen atom that gains a proton
changes to oxygen
The pH of 7
neutral
The protein monomer
amino acids
The base unit for length in the metric system?
meter
The part of natural selection that is random
mutation
The number of protons an element has
equal to the atomic number of the element.
The adding an acid to a solution
decreases the pH
The structures in protein how many
4
The octect rule how many electrons
8
The part of natural selection that is not random
adaptation and selection pressure
The bond type between Mg and S
ionic bond
The adding a base to a solution
increases the pH
The protein polymers
polypeptides
The kind of reaction used to break up a polymer
Hydrolysis
The genetic variation comes from
mutation
The positive ions form
when an atom looses an electron
The pH is
a measure of H+ concentration in a solution
The amino acids are linked together using the dehydration reaction
peptide bonds
The backbone structure of DNA is linked
phosphodiester bonds
The mutations beneficial or harmful
depends on the environment
The isomer is
molecules with the same chemical formula but different structures
The concentration of protons in pure water is
[H+] = 10-7 M
The monomer of nucleic acids?
nucleotide
The phosphate functional group
-OPO3^2-
