What is Biology
What is Science?
A way of gaining knowledge about the natural world
Somatic Mutation
One cell in the body which can't be passed to the offspring
Cell Division
Process where one cell (parent cell) divides and makes two cells (daughter cells).
Matter
Anything that has mass and takes up space
Blended Theory
Theory that offsprings have inherited genes
Scientific Law
Statement that cannot be changed under certain natural conditions.
Three characteristics of RNA genetic coding
Universal
Unambiguous
Redundant
Steps for Binary Fission
1.) DNA Replication
2.) Chromosome
3.)Separation
Nucleic Acids
Made of smaller pieces of nucleotides
Alleles
Different versions of a gene
Living things are made of cells
The three steps to Protein Synthesis
Initiation
Elongation
Termination
Eukaryotic Cell Cycle
1.) Mitosis
2.) Cytokenesis
Electric charge difference between areas of molecules.
Locus
Location of gene in the chromosome
Characteristics of life
Responds to environment
Grows and develops
Produces offspring
Made of cells
What are the types of RNA?
mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA
Controlling the Cell Cycle
Regulatory proteins signal the cell when to go to the next phase.
Characteristics of water, acid, and bases
High Boiling point
High specific heat
Expends when it freezes
Excellent solvent
Difference of Genotype and Phenotype
Genotype is alleles that are hidden.
Phenotype are alleles that are expressed.
Four parts of a controlled investigation
Dependant Variable
Independant Variable
Constant Variable
Control Group
What is ALWAYS the start code for RNA?
AUG
Which cell is the only cell that has chloroplasts?
Plant Cells
What is PH?
Concentration of Hydronium ions
Mendel's three laws
Law of Segregation
Law of Independent Assortment
Law of Dominance
