100
A pairing of two copies for a given phenotype
What are alleles
100
This molecule is used to produce proteins from the code kept safe inside the nucleus
What is RNA
100
Populations adapt over time to improve fitness of the species
What is Natural Selection
100
Don't look right at it! You want plants to get this source's energy, since you aren't able to get it yourself.
What is the Sun.
100
A role that an organism fulfills within a community.
What is Niche
200
Some organisms tend to have just two variations of a given gene, however these kinds of dominant organisms produce a blend that is an intermediate of the dominant and recessive condition.
What is Incomplete dominance
200
This codon always begins the production of protein synthesis in the ribosomes
What is AUG
200
A species that ends up in a new environment will only be able to display phenotypic ratios that are similar to what they brought over to that new population
What is Founder's Effect
200
Earth's natural defense system from harmful UV rays, and to be able to maintain energy from leaking out into space.
What are Greenhouse Gases
200
Two species that when interacting in their community, they both benefit each other's fitness.
What is Mutalism / Mutalistic Symbiosis
300
The genotypic ratio when a complete dominance cross occurs between two individuals that are heterozygotes
What is 1:2:1 (AA, Aa, aa) or 1 AA: 2 Aa: 1 aa
300
This describes the transition of DNA to RNA to Proteins
What is Central Dogma
300
Bird populations adapt as the food sources adapt; in this type of selection, only two extremes for bird beak phenotype are favored -- small, and large
What is Disruptive Selection
300
The top 5 elements that make up living organisms
What are Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O), Nitrogen (N), and Phosphorus (P)
300
Animal populations follow this trend; also includes carrying capacity in a population.
What is Logistic Growth
400
When dealing with sample sizes, this law provides confidence in knowing that your results are as accurate as possible
What is Law of Large Numbers
400
The three codons that can finish protein synthesis
What are UAA, UAG, and UGA
400
Two organisms that share a similar location, however can never line up the times when they reproduce.
What is temporal isolation
400
A diagram to communicate the predation symbioses that occur between various organisms in an ecosystem.
What is a Food Web
400
Cat got your tongue? Or your entire body, would be the better way of describing one of these several kinds of factors that cause declining population sizes.
What are Limiting Factors
500
These are the stages a cell has to go through to run through meiosis COMPLETELY
What is Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I, Cytokinesis I, Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II, Cytokinesis II
OR
PMAT I, Cytokinesis I; PMAT II, Cytokinesis II
500
Two people that are phenotypically similar; however if you look at their DNA, one of them has a slight error in their coding.
What is silent mutation
500
The frequency of the recessive allele, knowing that in a population of 500 individuals, 60% of them are heterozygotes, and 170 of them are homozygous dominant.
What is 0.36
500
The order of smallest living ecological unit of study to the largest.
What is Organism, Population, Community, Ecosystem, Biome, Biosphere

What is Primary Succession
