100
Because all organisms use DNA as their genetic material, this must be true about all living things.
What is a shared common ancestry?
100
This is a section of DNA that provides the genetic information necessary to create a protein for a trait.
What is a gene?
100
An enzyme is this type of substance.
What is a protein?
or
What is a catalyst?
100
Organic molecules all have this element in common.
What is carbon?
100
Cells of this type lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
What is prokarya?
or
What is a prokaryote?
100
This is the process by which a cell divides, leaving two genetically identical daughter cells.
What is mitosis?
200
According to this cladogram, this group shares the most traits (the closest relative) to the primates.
What is rodents and rabbits?
200
This polymer is made using DNA as a template. It carries genetic information out of the nucleus.
What is mRNA?
200
An enzyme must fit the shape of this molecule, which allows the enzyme to facilitate its chemical reactions.
What is a substrate?
200
In this type of bond, electrochemical charges are created by the transfer of electrons.
What is ionic?
200
This type of cell features a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
What is a eukaryotic cell?
200
This is the process by which a cell divides, leaving four genetically distinct gametes.
What is meiosis?
300
This refers to the ability to pass down genetic information from parents to offspring.
What is heritability?
300
This structure uses the information in mRNA to create proteins.
What is a ribosome?
300
In this graph, the addition of an enzyme has sped up the rate of this reaction by reducing this factor.
What is activation energy?
300
Electrons are shared between atoms in this type of bond.
What is covalent?
300
Abbreviated as 2n, this refers to a cell--such as somatic cells--that has two copies of each chromosome.
What is diploid?
300
Recombination occurs during this phase of meiosis.
What is Prophase I?
400
According to this clade, snakes and iguanian lizards share this many common ancestors.
What is three?
400
Consider the following DNA sequence: TAC-GGA-AAT-ACC
This would be the nucleotide sequence of the codons on the mRNA generated from this DNA sequence.
What is AUG - CCU - UUA - UGG?
400
On the graph shown, this letter represents the activation energy required to initiate the chemical reaction.
What is A?
400
This weak bond connects the partial positive charge in a hydrogen atom to the partial negative charge in another atom.
What is a hydrogen bond?
400
Abbreviated as n, this refers to a cell--such as gametes--that has one copy of each chromosome.
What is haploid?
400
This stage of meiosis is depicted below.
What is Anaphase I?
500
The fitness of a species is improved by increasing the number of phenotypes for a particular trait.
What is variation?
500
This type of mutation causes changes to all the codons by displacing the nucleotides to the left or right.
What is a frameshift?
500
The energy of this reaction's products are lower than its reactants. This curve represents this type of reaction.
What is exothermic?
500
This subunit links together to form a polymer.
What is a monomer?
500
What structure is found in plant cells and bacteria, but not in animal cells?
What are cell walls?
500
This is the difference between Prophase and Prophase II.
What are recombinant chromosomes?
