What are the monomers that make up a nucleic acid?
What is a nucleotide

What is a benefit and a limitation of biotechnology in agriculture?
What is, it would require less pesticides in agriculture but it could also decrease the biodiversity in crops.
100
Mutation in which ONE nucleotide base in a DNA sequence is replaced by another. May or may not have an effect. Ex: substitution mutation.
What is a point mutation
100
After analyzing the DNA sequences, the geneticist found this species to be least related to species X
What is species 4?

This trait is found in the ray-finned tuna, but not the shark
What is a bony skeleton?

This part of the plant is responsible for protecting the growing embryo
What is the seed?

The earth has biogeochemical cycles that cycle matter to and through the Earth that support life.
What is the carbon cycle and the water cycle?
200
Process by which DNA is copied in all known cells. It produces two DNA strands, each with one original strand and one new strand.
What is semi-conservative replication
200
A man with blood type AB marries a woman who is blood type O. What are the possible blood type of their children?
What is blood type A and B.
200
Mutation in which one nucleotide is replaced by another but the new amino acid coded for is the same as in the original and therefore as no effect.
What is a Silent Mutation
200
Homologous structures are structures that two organism have that are compared to show this feature? What does it show?
What is common ancestors?
200
This traits distinguishes fungi from plants
What is a "plants being autotrophs and fungi being heterotrophs?
200
The part of the plant that is responsible for moving sugar (food) in a two-way and the one responsible for moving water and minerals in one direction.
What is the xylem and the phloem?
200
This aspect of an ecosystem impacts a population based upon available resources and is affected by various limiting factors
What is carrying capacity?
300
Process in which mRNA makes a copy of a segment of DNA that codes for a protein.
What is transcription
300
Type of inheritance where both ALLELES are expressed simultaneously (equally) in a heterozygous individual.
What is codominance
300
Mutation in which one or more nucleotides are added or lost causing a change in the remaining sequence from that point on.
What is a frameshift mutation
300
Which two species are least related?
1 and 6, 1 and 8, or 3 and 4
What is species 1 & species 8?
300
This is the major difference between the two types of cells
What is prokaryotes don't have a nucleus and eukaryotes do have a nucleus?
300
This structure is found on leaf of terrestrial plants that is used for gas exchange by opening and closing, depending on the environment?
What is a guard cell?
300
This type of succession increases biodiversity based upon the environment seen in the image?
What is secondary succession?
400
Process in which a ribosome decodes the message from mRNA and converts it into protein with the help from tRNA which brings amino acids to the mRNA.
What is translation
400
Mendel's Law that states that the inheritance of one trait is NOT dependent on the inheritance of another trait. Each trait is inherited independently from the other. This is responsible for genetic diversity among siblings.
What is the Law of Independent Assortment
400
Translate the following mRNA sequence.
AUG - CGC - ACG
What is Met- Arg - Thr

An organism with favorable genetic variations will tend to survive and breed successfully because of this scientific process
What is natural selection?
400
This organism has the features listed above. What is the organism?
What is a fungi?

This part of the plant tissue is responsible for plant growth and is usually found in the root tip.
What is the meristematic tissue?
400
Describe energy flow as it travels through the different trophic levels?
What is 10% passed up and less energy available as you move up the pyramid?
500
Reason why DNA is considered a universal code
What is the basic components of DNA are the same in all living things.

Four o'clock flowers exhibit incomplete dominance. This means the heterozygous genotype produces a blend or intermediate phenotype. As shown in the image below. If a florist crosses 2 pink flowers what color offspring will she get?
What is 25%Red, 50% Pink, 25% white
500
A man that is colorblind marries a woman that is completely normal, with no history of the condition in her family. What is the likelihood they could have a daughter that is a carrier?
What is 100%

A small portion of the population of the Greetle beetle that is geographically isolated from the rest of the population runs the risk of decreased.
What is genetic drift?

This answer identifies the structure and function of A, B, E, & H
What is:
A: Pistil-Female part of plant that includes the stigma, style, and ovary
B: Anther-Male part that produces Pollen
E: Ovary-Holds seeds
H: Filament-Supports the anther
