Cellular reproduction with 5 phases that results in identical diploid daughter cells.

Mitosis

100

A type of organic macromolecule that can be an enzyme or part of the plasma membrane.

Protein.

100

Traits partially BLENDED during a cross:

Incomplete dominance

100

Remnant, impression, or trace of an animal or plant of a past geologic age that has been preserved in Earth’s crust.

Fossil

100

Organisms make their own food using sunlight or chemical energy.

Producer

200

A section of a chromosomes that  controls a particular trait.

Gene

200

One of two steps during protein synthesis in which mRNA codons are used to assemble long chains of amino acids on the ribosomes.

Translation

200

The genetic sequence of an organism.

Genotype

200

Anatomical structures that show similar evolutionary history:

Homologous

200

Organisms that must get their energy from other organisms.

Consumers

300

Double helix strand of nucleic acid found in the nucleus of the cell.

DNA

300

Name of nucleic acid that transfers amino acids to the ribosome for translation into proteins.

tRNA

300

The characteristic that results in partial expression ALONGSIDE another trait:

Co-dominance.

300

Comparative study of organisms from early stages to adult.


Embryology

300

Factors that refer to all living organisms within an ecosystem, including plants, animals, and microorganisms. 

Biotic

400

Single-stranded nucleic acid that has A, U, G and C as its nitrogen bases.

RNA

400

* DAILY DOUBLE* 

One of two steps in protein synthesis in which DNA's genetic sequence is copied to make a strand of mRNA.

Transcription

400

The physical appearance of an organism.

Phenotype

400

Evolutionary principle that emphasizes the advantage of a trait and its increased expression over time.


Natural selection

400

*DAILY DOUBLE *
Factors encompass all nonliving elements that influence ecosystems, such as landforms, water, air, sunlight, and climate

Abiotic

500

Cellular reproduction that results in 4 haploid daughter cells, each with half of the genetic information of the parent cell.

Meiosis

500

A type of mutation that occurs when a single nitrogen base is missing or replaced and can result in an altered protein.

Gene mutation.

500

The three types of gene mutations that involves the addition, deletion, or swapping of a single nucleic acid.

Missense, nonsense, silent.

500

Process in which a preferred gene is inserted into a plasmid DNA ring in order to make a desired protein.


Genetic engineering (or recombinant DNA).

500

A factor is anything that constrains a population's size and slows or stops it from growing such as food, mates, and competition with other organisms for resources
