100

The property of water that allows it to stick to other surfaces, for example, water droplets on a leaf

Adhesion
100

A strand of DNA is replicated, what is the new sequence if the template strand reads ACCGTA

TGGCAT

100

Diagram used to show evolutionary relationships

Cladogram

100

The maximum number of individuals of a species that an ecosystem can hold

Carrying capacity

100

The variable that is changed during an experiment.

Independent variable

200

Proteins that speed up chemical reactions

Enzymes

200
DNA replication is considered this, because the resulting DNA strands are half "old" DNA and half "new" DNA

Semi-conservative

200

Structures that are no longer useful to organisms, but were once useful to the ancestors; Provides evidence of evolution

Vestigial structures

200

How much energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next? (i.e. producers > primary consumer)

10%

200

The Father of Evolution

Charles Darwin

300

List two organelles that deal with making, modifying, or transporting proteins

Ribosomes

Golgi apparatus

Rough ER

300

Brown fur is dominant to tan fur in mice.  A tan mouse is bred with a heterozygous brown mouse.  What is the probability that the offspring will be brown?

50%

300

Organisms with beneficial adaptations survive and pass down their traits

Natural selection

300

Organisms that eat meat and plants

Omnivore

300

The internal processes that occur in order to keep stability

Homeostasis

400
The movement of molecules down its concentration gradient with the use of proteins

Facilitated diffusion

400

Flowers can come in white (recessive), pink (heterozygous), or red (dominant).  This type of inheritance is described as:

Incomplete dominance

400

The same basic structure, but different function (such as the arm bones of humans and the fins of whales); Provides evidence of evolution

Homologous structures 

400

A non-native species that is introduced into an ecosystem and begins to compete for resources with the native species 

Invasive species

400

The result of meiosis. (number of cells, type of cells, haploid/diploid)

4 cells

gametes

haploid

500

The formula for cellular respiration

Glucose + O2 -> CO2 + H2O + ATP

500

List and describe the steps of protein synthesis (give the name of the step and what is made during that step)

Step 1: transcription (DNA > mRNA)

Step 2: translation (mRNA > protein)

500

The type of genetic drift in which a large number of the population dies, leaving a small population with less genetic diversity

Bottleneck effect

500

In an ecosystem snakes eat salamanders, and salamanders eat earthworms. How would the earthworms be affected if a large number of snakes are caught and moved out of the region as a part of a conservation program?

The number of earthworms would decrease 

500

On a human karyotype, how many chromosomes are displayed?
