We are dividing!
Stage of mitosis in which the chromosomes align in the center of the cell
metaphase
Structure formed by packed DNA (single DNA double helix wrapped around proteins)
chromosome
Type of interaction between organisms in which they fight to survive and reproduce (one word)
competition
Organisms that transform abiotic components into living matter [autotrophs]
producers
Group of organisms of the same species
population
Final stages of mitosis: Telophase and _____
cytokinesis
The physical appearance of a genetically controlled trait
phenotype
Random mistake in the DNA sequence. It can be beneficial, harmful, or neutral
mutation
Organisms that feed on herbivores (other name for carnivores) (two words)
secondary consumers
Group of different species living and interacting with each other in a common habitat
community
Stage at which the chromosomes condense and become visible
prophase
One of the possible versions in which a particular gene is going to be decoded
allele
Evidence that natural selection is possible (two words)
artificial selection
Graphic model that shows the flow of energy and quantity of organisms in each trophic level (two words)
energy pyramid
It includes the biotic and abiotic factors in an environment
ecosystem
The function of this process is to replace and repair body (somatic) cells
mitosis
An individual with different alleles at the same gene of the same chromosome
heterozygous
It is the process of survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in the phenotype, in which the fittest organisms leave the greatest number of descendants (two words)
Natural Selection
Graphical model which shows many interconnected food chains (two words)
food web
Non-living chemical and physical parts of the environment that affect living organisms and the functioning of ecosystems (two words)
abiotic factors
Characteristic of the resulting cells in the process of mitosis in which each cell has two sets of chromosomes
diploid
An allele whose potential genetic expression is overridden in the heterozygous condition by a dominant allele
recesive
It is the change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations during successive generations. Through inherited variability.
Evolution
Transformations of energy are inefficient, energy is lost at each stage of the food chain as heat (complete name)
Law of the 10%
The three domains into which life is classified
Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya
