What is Sexual Reproduction through the process of Meiosis?
Type of selection that selects for the extreme traits in a population.
What is directional selection?

protein that organizes chromosomes and around which DNA wraps
What is a histone?
A type of cellular transport that requires the use of energy and moves molecules from a region of low concentration to high concentration.
What is Active Transport?
A breed of chicken has one allele coding for black feathers and the other allele codes for white feathers. The feathers of heterozygous chickens of this breed are speckled. This is an example of a ____________ inheritance pattern.
What is an example of a Codominant Inheritance Pattern?

What is ecology?
When water molecules move equally into and out of a cell
What is an Isotonic Solution?
The production of chemical energy by breaking down food.
What is Cellular Respiration?
The result of CTAGGT being transcribed into RNA.
CTAGGT → GAUCCA
evolution over a continual period of time
What is gradualism?
chromosomes that have the same length, appearance, and copies of genes, although the alleles may differ.
What are homologous chromosomes?
