This section of a scientific paper is reviewed by experts before publication
Peer-reviewed primary literature
This subatomic particle determines the atomic number of an element
Proton
This membrane model describes proteins floating in a flexible phospholipid layer
Fluid mosaic model
This law states that allele pairs separate during gamete formation
Law of segregation
These three domains represent the broadest classification of life on Earth

This type of reasoning starts with general principles and applies them to specific cases
Deductive reasoning
Water’s polarity allows it to stick to itself, a property known as:
Cohesion
cell structure responsible for the synthesis, modification, and transporting of proteins
Rough ER
This phase of meiosis is responsible for increased genetic diversity through crossing over
Prophase I
This type of growth occurs when a population grows without limits
Exponential growth (J-curve)
Teaching someone to have a conditioned response from an originally unconditioned stimulus is known as?
Classical Conditioning
Glucose is an example of this type of carbohydrate
Monosaccharide
Why is the cell membrane amphipathic (both hydrophobic and hydrophilic)?
Lipids; the hydrophobic tails (fatty acid chains) face inward, while the hydrophilic heads (phosphate groups) face outward and inward (the inside of the "sand-which" is hydrophobic while the heads that make up the "bread" are hydrophilic and attract water (keep it close))
structure of the DNA molecule:
double helix with sugar-phosphate backbones
These two organelles likely originated from ancient bacterial cells
Mitochondria and chloroplasts
research method where scientists collect data by observing and measuring phenomena in their natural state, without interfering or controlling variables
Observational science
What are the four protein structures?
Primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary
Circular piece of DNA in bacteria cells in addition to their singular chromosome
Plasmid
What is the most common cause of Down Syndrome?
trisomy 21, where a person has three copies of chromosome 21 instead of the usual two
This type of altruism can evolve if helping relatives increases the helper's overall genetic success
Kinship
The default claim in hypothesis testing, assuming any observed variation is due to chance
Null hypothesis
what type of synthesis reaction is used to make a polymer?
dehydration synthesis
What are the final products of cellular respiration
6𝐶𝑂2+6𝐻2𝑂+𝐴𝑇𝑃
If both parents have freckles (Ff) what percentage of offspring will have freckles?
