Cell Structure and Function
The presence of these specialized structures allow you to judge prokaryote from eukaryote.
What are organelles?
This is the base that complements cytosine in a DNA sequence.
What is guanine?
A species is said to be "fit" if they are able to survive their environment and do this.
What is having offspring?
Cells and viruses don't share a lot structural similarities, but both contain this.
What is lose water or dehydrate?
The first step of the central dogma, this is when RNA polymerase reads the template DNA to create a strand of mRNA.
What is transcription?
These structures are often used as evidence for different species having a common genetic ancestor.
What are homologous structures?
Cells and viruses look very different structually, but both contain this common material.
What is genetic material?
The codons AAA and AAG both code for the same amino acid. Which is why this type of mutation is given the description of being unnoticed.
What is a silent mutation?
If a cell requires 10 hours to complete one cell cycle, this is the phase in which they would spend about 6.5 hours.
What is interphase?
If two parents both display the dominant phenotype, but their offspring displays the recessive phenotype, you can assume that their genotype is ______zygous.
What is heterozygous?
Soaps, and other nonpolar solvents, help kill microorganisms by rupturing their cell membranes, which is made of this nonpolar biomolecule.
What are lipids?
Corn somatic cells contain 10 chromosomes, but corn pollen contains this amount.
What is 5 chromosomes?
