Module 5
The name given to a genotype of two differing alleles
Homozygous
Any change to the DNA sequence
Mutation
Any organism that may cause disease in another
Pathogen
A nondisjunction will change the number of these structures in a cell.
Chromosome
This variable is changed by the researcher
Independent variable
The form of assexual reproduction used by bacteria
Binary Fission
The name given to the coding sections of DNA
Exons
Breathing in droplets of a sneeze would be an example of this type of transmission
Indirect transmission
This field or research studies the cause of a disease and strategies to manage its impact
Epidemiology
Multiple samples allow a researcher to assess this feature of a first-hand investigation
Reliability
The stage of protein synthesis where amino acids align
Translation
A mutation in this cell is unlikely to have any impact on the organism, but it will impact their offspring
Gamete
This scientist developed four postulates for identifying a disease causing agent
Robert Koch
The four categories of non-infectious diseases are:
Nutritional
Cancer
Genetic
Caused by environmental factors
A hypothesis statement will follow this general structure
If Then statement
This type of inheritance produces roan cattle and pink snapdragons
Codominance
Due to random deaths in a population the allele frequency will change as a result of this mechanism
Genetic drift
This type of immunity results from a mother passing antigens to her offspring during pregnancy
Passive immunity
What is Homeostasis
is the maintenance by an organism of a relatively constant internal state, regardless of external changes in the environment.
A method should account for these two components
Reliability and validity
This diagram illustrates the inheritance of a trait through a family
Pedigree
This genetic technique involves the insertion of haploid nuclear into an enucleated gamete.
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer
Advertisements encouraging physical distancing are examples of this type of management strategy.
Public Health Campaign
This type of feedback reduces change to the internal environment.
Negative feedback
This type of graph is used to compare categorical and continuous data.
Histogram, column or bar graph
