The concept that organisms who are the best suited to their environment will be the most successful
What is natural selection
These simple molecules form the basis of all proteins
What are amino acids?
Which organisms have the most available energy in a food pyramid?
Producers
These are the products of cellular respiration
Water, carbon dioxide, and ATP
The legs of crocodiles and cats have similar bone structures and develop in a similar way which indicates a common ancestor. What type of structures are the leg bones?
What are homologous structures?
The grouping of cells that contain DNA, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and a cell membrane, but no other membrane-bound organelles.
What is a prokaryote? (or prokaryotic cell)
What is an enzyme?
A students observes a cell where the chromosomes appear to be pulled apart by spindle fibers. The cell then splits into two cells in a process called
What is cytokinesis..
A biomolecule that serves as an energy storage
What are lipids?
Any inherited trait that increases an organism's chance of survival is known as this.
What is an adaptation
This RNA is transcribed from a section of DNA and later leaves the nucleus in order to be translated into an amino acid chain.
What is mRNA?
movement of ions, and molecules across cell membranes without the need for energy input
What is passive transport?
Water molecules have attractive forces to one another and are held together by these types of bonds
What are hydrogen bonds?
The stage in meiosis 1 where crossing over occurs to create genetically different chromosomes from the originals (chromosomes appear too)
What is prophase 1?
If the producers contain 10,000 Kcal, then how much energy will the secondary consumers contain?
What is 100 Kcal?
Organs/parts many animals still have but are no longer used.
What are vestigial structures?
This process produces four genetically unique cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as in the parent
meiosis
What is mitosis?
This is the process by which organisms break down glucose to create ATP
What is cellular respiration?
Name one of the organelles found in a plant cell but not an animal cell
What are cell wall, large central vacuole, and chloroplast?
The process by which water moves through the cell membrane to balance out a high concentration of solutes.
What is osmosis?
The formula for photosynthesis
CO2 + H2O —> C6H12O6 + O2
When both alleles are present they will mix to create a new phenotype/trait
What is incomplete dominance?
Find the Amino Acids
DNA: TAC - AGT - CTC
RNA: ? - ? - ?
Amino acids: ? - ? - ?
RNA: AUG - UCA - GAG
Amino Acids: MET - Ser - Glu
Sickle cell anemia is a recessive disease. If you cross two parents with the alleles Aa x Aa, what are their children's chances of having sickle cell anemia?
Hint - Draw out the Punnett Square!
What is 25% have sickle cell?
