All life forms are made from one or more cells. Cells only arise from pre-existing cells. The cell is the smallest form of life.
What is the cell theory?
100
the process that a cell uses to copy chromosomes, takes place in a cell's nucleus before the cell can divide
What is DNA replication?
100
when individuals with contrasting traits are crossed, the offspring will express only the dominant trait
What is principal of dominance?
100
self-feeding
What is autotroph
200
In a controlled experiment, how many variables are you testing?
What is one?
200
Interphase and mitosis
What are the 2 major parts of the cell cycle?
200
a particular segment of DNA is copied into RNA
What is transcription?
200
the process of by which a cell separates the chromosomes in its cell nucleus into two identical sets in two separate nuclei
What is mitosis?
200
the scientific study of relationships that living organisms have with each other and their abiotic environment.
What is ecology?
300
the process of gathering and measuring information on variables of interest, in an established systematic fashion that enables one to answer stated research questions, test hypotheses, and evaluate outcomes
What is data collection
300
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
What is mitosis?
300
where the genetic code carried by mRNA is decoded to produce the specific sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain
What is translation?
300
holds that each pair of factors of heredity separate during gamete formation so that each gamete receives one member of a pair
What is the principal of segregation
300
A close ecological relationship between the individuals of two different species
What is symbiosis?
400
an "if-then" statement that is testable and specific
What is a writable hypothesis?
400
used to break down worn-out cellular components or bacteria engulfed by the cell
What is function of lysosome?

structures derived from a common ancestor or same evolutionary or developmental origin
What are homologous structures?

A descriptive generalization about how some aspect of the natural world behaves under stated circumstances
What is the difference between a law?

A solution that has higher osmotic pressure (or has more solutes) than another solution to which it is compared
What is a hypertonic solution?

3 Differences between DNA and RNA
DNA is double stranded RNA is single stranded RNA bases A,G,C,U DNA bases A,T,C,G RNA contains code for proteins DNA is all genetic information
