Unit 1
What are the 3 Domains?
What are Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya.
What are the 2 types of Membrane Transport?
What are Passive and Active Transport.
What are the complimentary base pairings in DNA?
What are Adenine and Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine.
What is a gene?
What is a segment of DNA that codes for a trait/characteristic.
What is change that has occurred in organisms over time.
What determines chemical reactivity?
What are Valence Electrons.
What is required for Diffusion to occur?
What is a concentration gradient.
What are the 3 types of RNA?
What are mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA.
Describe Genotype VS Phenotype.
What is genotype refers to ones genetic makeup while phenotype refers to ones physical expression of genes.
What is the difference between Artificial and Natural Selection?
What is Artificial selection is selective breeding done unnaturally, while Natural selection preserves favorable traits and gets rid of injurious ones.
What are the 6 Characteristics of Life?
What are Order, Sensitivity, Energy Acquisition, Homeostasis, Reproduction/Growth, and Evolution.
How to Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes differ?
What are: Prokaryotes lack a nucleus, are simpler cells, belong to the domains Archaea and Bacteria.
Eukaryotes have a nucleus, have complex membranous structures, and belong to domain Eukarya.
What are G1, S, and G2.
What are the types of Natural Selection?
What are Directional Selection, Stabilizing Selection, and Disruptive Selection.
What is the main difference between Covalent bonds and Ionic bonds?
What is that Covalent bonds share electrons, while Ionic bonds transfer electrons.
What are Enzymes?
How do we get genetic diversity from Meiosis?
What is because of Crossover which occurs in Synapsis.
What is plasmid DNA?
What is Circular double stranded DNA molecules in bacteria.
What is Genetic Drift?
What is a factor that can drive microevolution by random chance or sample error.
What are the differences between Polar and Nonpolar Bonds?
What are: Polar bonds share unequally and are hydrophilic
Nonpolar bonds share equally and are hydrophobic.
What are the 2 Metabolic Reactions and their corresponding Metabolic Pathways?
What are Endergonic and Anabolic, and Exergonic and Catabolic.
What are the differences between Mitosis and Meiosis?
What are: Mitosis maintains the chromosome number, occurs for asexual reproduction, repairing tissue, embryonic development/growth, and goes through PMAT once.
Meiosis reduces the chromosome number, is used for sexual reproduction and gametes, and goes through PMAT twice.
What is the difference between Molecular Cloning and Reproductive cloning?
What is that Molecular cloning is the act of copying a piece of DNA to make multiple copies, Reproductive cloning refers to making a multicellular organism using an egg and diploid DNA.
What are the 5 Pieces of Evidence of Evolution?
What are Fossil Record, Comparative Anatomy, Comparative Embryology, Biogeography, an Comparative Biochemistry.
