The (dependent/independent) variable gets graphed on the y-axis.
Dependent - The spine of the "D" lines up with the y-axis.

Which organelle builds proteins?
Ribosomes

Scientific experiments can have any number and kinds of treatment groups; however, a good experiment always has what kind of treatment group?
Control
200
What does "DNA" stand for (in genetics)?
Deoxyribonucleic acid (Deoxyribose - nucleic acid)
200
An individual who processes a recessive allele but does not express the trait in the phenotype is known as a…?
Carrier
200
(Photosynthesis/Cellular Respiration) is an example of fixation. Why?
Photosynthesis - taking an "unusale" carbon form (CO2) and turning it into a "usable" one (Glucose).
200
Using “H” and “h”, state the genotype of a diploid individual who is homozygous dominant?
HH
200
In what pH range would a chemical be considered an acid?
pH<7 (less than 7)
300
Give the complementary DNA nucleotide sequence of: TGACGT
ACTGCA
300
Body temperature follows a dynamic equilibrium pattern when graphed over time. The ability to maintain a relative internal environment is known as…?
Homeostasis
300
DNA is used to make RNA through (transcription/translation) and the RNA is used to make amino acids through (transcription/translation)
Transcription - DNA to RNA Translation - RNA to Amino Acids
300
Give the RNA sequence made using the DNA sequence: GCATTG.
CGUAAC

Water molecules have a positively charged region and a negatively charged region. What term is used to describe molecules with charged regions?
Polar (molecules)
400
In what phase does the duplication of DNA occur?
Interpahse - S (synthesis) phase
400
In any pedigree, and filled in circle represents…?
Female who does express the trait (being shown in the pedigree)
400
In (human) Meiosis, the parent cell is (haploid/diploid) and the daughter cells are (haploid/diploid).
Parents are diploid (2N); make haploid (N) daugther cells through meiosis so that they come together to form another 2N.
400
A flower having both "Red" and "White" alleles produced pink petals. What genetics term would be used to describe these alleles?
Incomplete dominance (think of each one not being "fully" there)
400
Describe the difference between Lamarck’s and Darwin’s theories of evolution?
Lamarck - Acquire a beneficial trait (improvement) during one's life and passing it on to their offspring, progressing towards perfection. Darwin - Individuals who pocess beneficial traits live to survive and reproduce more than others, so those traits become more frequent in the population over time.

What kind of “weak” bonds holds the strands of a DNA double helix together?
Hydrogen bonds

... is a kind of organic molecule that makes up most of a cell's bilayer.
Lipid

Passive transport within cells moves from areas of (low/high) concentration to areas of (low/high) concentration. What are two examples of passive transport?
High to Low (like sliding down a hill; requires no energy) Diffusion and Osmosis
500
A particular plant species has two alleles for height, tall “T” and short “t”. What would the probability of a homozygous recessive offspring from two heterozygous plant parents?
25% Tt x Tt = TT, Tt, Tt, tt

Which of the following types of cell is debated to be living: plant, bacteria, virus, or fungi?
Viruses - does not contain many structures required to be independent; uses other cells as host for reproduction
