This process encompasses the creation of an mRNA molecule from a DNA template strand.
What is transcription?

These are represented by the letters in the image above.
What are organisms (or similar)?

This is the man who is known as the father of evolution
Who is Charles Darwin?

In a pedigree, this shape represents a woman.
What is a circle
100
This is a type of mutation where a base of DNA replaces another base of DNA in the sequence.
What is a substitution or point mutation?
200
These sections of RNA are read three bases at a time by the ribosome.
What are codons?
200
This organism is the outgroup in the cladogram.
What is hagfish?
200
This is the best indicator of an organism's evolutionary fitness.
a. What are the number of years in its natural lifespan
b. What are the number of offspring it produces that survive to reproductive age?
c. What are the number of mating partners it has over its lifespan?
B

In a pedigree, a shaded shape represents this.
What is an affected individual or an individual expressing the phenotype?
200
A mutation occurs in an active gene in a stomach cell of an organism.
Which is a likely result of this mutation?
a. The stomach cell will turn into another type of cell
b. The stomach cell will produce a different gene product
c. The offspring will have the same mutation
d. The individual may experience more mutations in cells in other parts of the body
B The stomach cell will produce a different gene product

GGU CUA GAU
What is
CCA GAT CTA?
300
This is the derived trait in the common ancestor of Primates, Rabbits, Crocodiles and Birds.
What is amniotic egg?
300
Penicillin is an antibiotic that kills bacteria by interfering with their ability to produce a new cell wall when it divides. A resistant bacterium has a cell wall that can withstand this. The proportion of bacterial populations that are resistant to penicillin has increased since it was first introduced in the 1940s. This is an explanation that describes this change in the bacterial population.
a. What is bacteria started growing and reproducing at faster rates?
b. What is bacterial populations began metabolizing the penicillin outside their cells
c. What is bacterial populations resistant to penicillin were able to survive and reproduce?
C
300
This is the number of offspring produced by the couple at the top of the pedigree.
What is 3?
300
This amino acid is also known as the starting point of translation.
What is Methionine (Met)?
400
These sections of RNA are spliced out before an m
RNA strand leaves the nucleus.
What are introns?
400
Given the table above, this trait would be the first listed (lowest) in a cladogram.
(more than one correct answer)
What are large wings or leg bulbs?
400
This is the type of selection pictured in the graph above?
What is directional selection?
400
This is the number of people displaying the phenotype of the recessive disorder.
What is 6?
400
This amino acid is translated when the last base in a codon coding for Cystine changes to a G.
What is Tryptophan (Trp)?
500
Homologous chromosomes align in the center of the cell during this phase of Meiosis.
Metaphase 1

This is one of the five assumptions from Hardy-Weinberg that cause a population to undergo evolution.
What is mutation, migration, natural selection, nonrandom mating, or a small population?
500
This is the type of disorder that can be tracked in this pedigree. (More than one answer)
Autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive disorders

Below is a DNA sequence. A mutation occurs that reverses the order of the bases in bold.
ACGTAGCCC
This is the amino acid sequence of the mutated RNA strand.
