Mineral Master (Minerals & Rocks)
This term describes a mineral that was not formed from living things or the remains of living things.
Inorganic
This is the name for the two genetically identical parts of a duplicated chromosome before it is pulled apart.
Chromatids
These are the three parts that make up a single DNA nucleotide.
sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogenous base
This term describes the nonliving parts of an ecosystem, such as wind, rocks, or light from the sun.
Abiotic Factors
According to your mineral properties table, this mineral has a metallic luster, a gray to black streak, and a hardness of 2.5.
Galena
In this type of asexual reproduction, a new plant develops specifically from the stem or root of its parent plant.
Vegetative Reproduction
This is the name of the biotechnology process used to create an exact genetic replica of a living thing, like the two mice shown in your exam.
cloning
Barnacles attaching to a whale to reach new feeding grounds without affecting the whale is an example of this specific symbiotic relationship.
Commensalism
These are the five specific processes that lead to the formation of sedimentary rock, in order.
weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation
This term describes an individual who has an allele for a disease and can pass it to their children, but does not actually have the disease themselves.
Carrier
If an mRNA strand has the base pairs AUUGCGA, this was the original sequence on the DNA molecule.
TAACGCT
This invasive species is found in South Florida and could be a threat to the Saint Mark’s Episcopal School community.
Iguanas
If you have two different mineral samples that are the exact same size and shape, this property will likely still be different because their atoms are packed differently.
density
In snapdragons, RR=red flowers, rr= white, and the heterozygotes have pink flowers. Crossing a red (RR) flower with a white (rr) flower results in 100% of the offspring having this specific color.
Pink (Rr)
This type of mutation occurs when one base is swapped out for another, but the total number of bases stays the same.
Substitution
Even though these plants consume insects to get nitrogen, they are still classified as producers because they get their energy from sunlight.
Carnivorous Plants
This term describes the sinking of the Earth's crust, which is the opposite of uplift
Subsidence
Unlike mitosis, meiosis produces this many daughter cells, and they are all genetically unique.
4
This career field involves modifying the DNA of bacteria to study gene function or creating new medicines.
Biotechnology
This is the most accurate description of what scientists are actually looking at when they study ecology.
interactions of organisms with one another and their environment
