100
The phase of the Cell Cycle when DNA replication takes place
The S (Synthesis) Phase
100
Composed of a phosphate group, a sugar, and a nitrogenous base this is the basic building block of Nucleic Acids
A Nucleotide
100
The theory that populations change over time as they adapt to changing environments and other other organisms.
The Theory of Evolution
200
A biomolecule that serves as a quick source of short-term energy for the cell.
A Carbohydrate

The products of Cellular Respiration
6CO2 + 6H2O and energy in the form of ATP
200
Uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells
Cancer
200
The step in Gene Expression (Protein Synthesis) that takes place in the ribosome
Translation
200
The layer of the Earth where you could find the oldest fossils

Plants and Animals both have these kinds of cells which are capable of complex cellular processes like Cellular Respiration
Eukaryotic Cells
300
The organ of a plant where Photosynthesis and Gas Exchange both take place
The leaf
300
Genes which control Gene Expression by coding for proteins that bind to DNA molecules
Regulatory Genes
300
The product of Transcription
mRNA
300
The process that scientists use to determine the age or age range of rocks and fossils. This is done by measuring the abundance of radioactive isotopes of certain elements.

The type of Cell Division that results in two haploid daughter cells
Meiosis (Sexual Reproduction)
400
The theory that explains why related species can be found on separate continents in the fossil record
The Theory of Plate Tectonics or The Theory of Continental Drift
500
Viruses are not living organisms because they lack this
The ability to reproduce independently (ribosomes to produce proteins)
