Biomolecules
The term for a single molecule that can combine with others to form a chain (like an amino acid)
What is a monomer?
The type of transport that requires energy, such as a protein pump.
What is active transport?
How viruses are classified, as they cannot carry out life processes on their own.
What is nonliving?
The phase of interphase in which DNA replication occurs.
What is S phase?
A person's genetic makeup or code versus their physical appearance or trait.
What is genotype versus phenotype?
The four main classes of molecules found in all living things: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and this type.
What are nucleic acids?
The passive movement of water across a cell membrane from an area of high concentration to low concentration.
What is osmosis?
A structure found is both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells that is involved in protein synthesis.
What are ribosomes?
The enzyme that "unzips" the DNA strand by breaking the hydrogen bonds during replication.
What is helicase?
An individual with one dominant and one recessive allele for a trait.
What is heterozygous?
Lipids, such as fats and oils, primarily function in this.
What is long-term energy storage?
This is the movement of substances from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration directly across the cell membrane.
What is simple diffusion?
A cycle in which a virus quickly takes over a host cell, makes copies, and then destroys the cell to release new viruses.
What is the lytic cycle?
The four stages of the cell cycle, which includes interphase and this phase.
What is M phase or mitosis?
The difference between incomplete dominance and codominance.
What is that Incomplete Dominance results in a blend (like red + white = pink) , while Codominance results in both parental traits showing up together?
Enzymes, which control the rate of chemical reactions by lowering the energy needed, are an example of this biomolecule.
What are proteins?
The processes used to move very large particles into or out of the cell respectively (2 answers!)
What are endocytosis and exocytosis?
The key difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells regarding their internal structures.
What is eukaryotes having membrane-bound organelles and prokaryotes not?
Why DNA replication is described as semi-conservative.
What is that one strand of each new DNA copy is from the original strand and the other is newly synthesized?
The percentage of a woman who is a carrier for color blindness and a man with normal vision producing a child who is colorblind.
What is 25%?
The three parts that make up the monomer of DNA and RNA.
What are sugar, phosphate, and nitrogen bases?
This is the difference in concentration between two regions, which drives passive transport.
What is the concentration gradient?
The cycle where a virus inserts its DNA into the host's DNA and stays inactive, replicating along with the host cell.
What is the lysogenic cycle?
The stage of the mitosis where chromosomes are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell by spindle fibers.
In guinea pigs, black hair (B) is dominant to brown hair (b) and short hair (H) is dominant to long hair (h).
A black, short-haired guinea pig (BbHh) is crossed with a brown, short-haired guinea pig (bbHh). This is the probability of having an offspring that is brown with short hair.
What is 6/16?
