Don't get green with envy because some prokaryotes and most plants are this type of 'troph'.
What are photoautotrophs?
100
This law states that genotype frequencies will remain constant when there is no gene flow, no mutation, no natural selection, random mating, and large population size.
What is the Hardy-Weinberg principle/equilibrium?
100
This innate ability of bacteria to pick up foreign DNA and utilize it helped enable the molecular biology revolution.
What is transformation?
200
The diffusion of water, in all its glory.
What is osmosis?

You *probably* remember, "the method by which you statistically analyzed different cell division rates."
What is the chi square test?
200
Plants' primary photon acceptor is also responsible for their primary pigment.
What is chlorophyll?
200
This occurs when two unique alleles of a gene both contribute to the phenotype.
What is co-dominance?

Despite diverse embedded proteins, this hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail duo creates a bipolar boundary
What is the phospholipid bilayer?
300
In the mitotic process, mutations that affect proto-oncogenes can lead to this.
What is uncontrolled cell division / tumors / cancer?
300
Unlike animal cleavage, plants need this to complete cell division.
What is the cell plate?
300
This process always occurs in the 5' --> 3' direction.

300
At this location, two non-sister chromatids exchange genetic material.
What is chiasma?

This general term for a polymer built from monomers isn't micro.
What is a macromolecule? (e.g. lipids, phosphates, amino acids, carbohydrates, etc)
400
This process boasts increased disease resistance, more adaptability, two cell division cycles, one DNA replication cycle, and a whole lot of dimorphism.
What is sexual reproduction? (meiosis)

This cycle occuring in the mitochondrial matrix produces large quantities of electron carriers.
What is the Kreb's (citric acid) Cycle?
500
The combination of these *two* interactions is the reason water dissolves salt.
What is polarity (water) and ionic charge (salt)?
500
These two factors are the primary reasons prokaryotes evolve faster than eukaryotes.
What is rapid reproduction and poor genome editing?
500
These 'zombie' cells are responsible for the passive transport of water in vascular plants. Whereas these live cells actively transport sugars and nutrients.
