DNA Replication
The middle (the rungs) of the DNA ladder. This is where the information is stored.
What is Nitrogen Bases ?
The process used to separate DNA fragments into a DNA fingerprint
What is Gel Electrophoresis ?
A trait that gives an organism a survival advantage.
What is dissolved in the solution (for example, salt and sugar)
What is Solute ?
The process plants use to convert water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight into glucose (stored energy)
What is photosynthesis ?
In eukaryotes, it is stored in the nucleus. __ contains the blueprint your body needs for making proteins.
What is DNA ?
Used to establish links between people and evidence. Every person (except for identical twins) have unique DNA fingerprints.
What is DNA fingerprint ?
When there are more organisms than the environment can support (not enough food, not enough water, not enough shelter, etc
What is over population ?
Same concentration of solute/solvent on both sides. No net movement of water.
The process all living organisms (prokaryotes and eukaryotes) use to convert glucose into useable energy (ATP)
Made of sugar and phosphate. the outsides of the DNA ladder.
What is DNA backbone ?
Occurs when bacteria absorb new DNA (genes) fro the environment.
What is Bacterial Transformation ?
Fighting (literally or figuratively) for the resources needed to survive (such as food, water, space, mates, etc)
What is Competition ?
Movement of water across the cell membrane from high concentration to low concentration. Energy is not required.
What is Osmosis ?
Where photosynthesis happens in plant cells
The DNA being used as a template for making the copy.
What is Parent DNA (Parent strand) ?
A version of a gene. For example the _____ for height would be expressed as T(tall) or t (short)
What is Allele ?
Change over time. Usually the time period is very long, spanning hundreds of thousands or millions of years. It can sometimes be faster with very quickly reproducing organisms, such as bacteria.
What is Evolution ?
Higher Concentration (amount) of solute/lower concentration of the solvent. Water moves to equalize.
What is Hypertonic ?
The sugar that plants produce during photosynthesis. Glucose is broken down into ATP during cellular respiration.
What is Glucose ?
Base pairs must match up with each other. In DNA, A goes with T and G goes with C.
A--T
G--C
What is Complementary ?
Occurs wen the dominant allele doesn't completely mask the recessive allele. An example is pink flowers. RR (red x rr (white) gives Rr (pink)
What is Incomplete Dominance ?
The organisms with the best traits and adaptions are able to better survive and reproduce, passing along their adaptions and traits to future generations.
What is Survival of the fittest ?
What is Hypotonic ?
Adenosine Triphosphate. Energy that the cell can use to carry out its activities and functions
What is ATP ?
