__________ hold DNA nucleotides together that produce its characteristic double helix.

What are Hydrogen bonds?

100
Describe as many differences as you can between DNA & RNA.
DNA -2 stranded -Deoxyribose sugar -Bases: A, T, C, G -A to T, C to G -Contains genes RNA -1 strand -Ribose sugar -Bases: A, U, C, G -A to U, C to G -mRNA, tRNA, rRNA
100

The strand of the DNA double helix from which RNA is transcribed.

Template strand

List benefits of studying evolution.

-Designing treatments to resistance in weeds/pests/pathogens

-Designing breeding programs to maximize crop yield/quality

-Protecting small/isolated populations from inbreeding depression

-Identifying key traits involved in adaptation to climate change

-Setting conservation priorities based on populations, species, to communities that harbor the greatest evolutionary diversity and potential

100

The four postulates (or logic) of Natural Selection according to Darwin and Wallace.

1)Individuals vary

2)Differences are heritable

3)Differential survival & reproduction

4)Survival & reproduction not by chance, but on traits

200

Name of the sugar in DNA.

What is Deoxyribose?

200
The process of converting DNA to RNA.
What is transcription?
200
The _____ is a biological dictionary that converts _____, sequences of 3 RNA bases, into _____.
What is -Genetic code -Codons -Amino acids
200

This person noticed certain fossils were found in the same layers of rock, but not found in other layers of different ages.

Who was Will Smith?

200

These structures are the result of divergent evolution which refer to the similar arm bones in humans and in wales.

What are homologous structures?

300

When DNA replication uses one DNA parental strand and synthesizes one new strand.

Semiconservative replication

300

This enzyme unwinds DNA to begin the process of transcription.

What is RNA polymerase?

300

Delivers Amino Acids to ribosomes to make proteins.

What are tRNAs?

300

This theory implies the Earth is VERY old due to the fact that natural process gradually shape the surface of the earth (which produce layers of rock over time with embedded fossils in them).

What is Uniformitarianism?

300

These structures are a result of convergent evolution, example: comparing a bat's wing and a butterfly's wing based on function.

What are analogous structures?

400
This enzyme synthesizes new strands of DNA from free floating DNA nucleotides.
What is DNA polymerase?
400

This type of RNA is created at the end of transcription that carries the message of the gene.

What is mRNA?

400

The sequence of 3 bases in tRNA that is complimentary to three bases mRNA.

Anticodon

400

Believed that organisms acquire characteristics based on use or disuse of a trait (Inheritance of acquired characteristics).

Who is Jean Baptiste Lamarck?

400

Theses are benefits of studying evolution.

Treatments of resistance by weeds, pests, pathogens; design breeding programs to maximize crop yields/quality; conservation biology; natural resource management; tackle inbreeding depression; improve biological diversity.

500
This enzyme is responsible for unwinding the DNA double helix in DNA replication.
What is DNA helicase?
500

Where RNA goes next after it's been transcribed.

What is the cytoplasm/cytosol?

500

Transcribe this sequence: TACGGAATC

What is AUGCCUUAG?

The year "The Origin of Species" was published.

What is 1859?

500

List examples of biochemical evidence that suggests all life has descended from a common origin.

What are:

–Have DNA

–Use RNA, ribosomes, and roughly the same genetic code to create proteins

–Use roughly the same 20 amino acids to create proteins

-Use ATP for energy
