General Biology
This phase of the cell cycle is where DNA replication occurs
what is the S-Phase?
This type of mutation results in a premature stop codon.
What is a nonsense mutation?
These organisms lack a membrane-bound nucleus.
What are prokaryotes?
what cranial nerve is responsible for vision.
What is the optic nerve?
This weak interaction occurs between a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom like oxygen or nitrogen.
What is a hydrogen bond?
This macromolecule is composed of amino acids linked by peptide bonds.
What is a protein?
This technique allows amplification of specific DNA sequences.
What is PCR (polymerase chain reaction)?
In 1928, Alexander Fleming discovered that Penicillium notatum inhibited the growth of this bacterium, which commonly causes skin infections.
What is Staphylococcus aureus?
This structure connects muscle to bone.
What is a tendon?
This term describes the reactant that is totally consumed when a chemical reaction is completed
What is the limiting reactant (or reagent)?
This organelle is responsible for ATP production through oxidative phosphorylation.
What is the mitochondrion?
This process converts pre-mRNA into mature mRNA in eukaryotes.
What is RNA splicing?
This body system helps protect you from infections.
What is the immune system?
These are the four primary epithelial tissue classes in the human body.

What is perchlorate?
This gas is released as a waste product during the reactions of the Krebs cycle.
What is carbon dioxide?
This enzyme synthesizes RNA from a DNA template.
What is RNA polymerase?
gram-positive bacteria stain this color.
What is purple?
This brain structure regulates balance and fine motor coordination.
What is the cerebellum?
In a SN2 reaction the best leaving group is classified as a
What is a weak base?
This phase of mitosis is when sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles.
What is anaphase?
This type of inheritance pattern results in a 1:2:1 phenotypic ratio in a monohybrid cross.
What is incomplete dominance?
This shape describes spherical bacteria.
What are cocci?
These specialized bone-absorbing cells are responsible for breaking down and resorbing old or damaged bone tissue.
What are osteoclasts?
This reaction joins two molecules together while releasing water.
What is a dehydration synthesis (condensation) reaction?
