A scientific term for "educated guess"
What is a hypothesis?
In this phase of mitosis sister chromatids line up along the equator of the cell
What is Metaphase?
These proteins are used to cut specific sections of DNA during genetic engineering.
What are restriction enzymes?
The polymer that contains genetic materials.
What is DNA?
This process provides most of the oxygen found in Earth's atmosphere, while making sugar.
What is Photosynthesis?
These variables stay constant throughout the experiment
What are controlled variables?
The number of chromosomes a fruit fly would have after meiosis, if a fruit fly has 8 chromosomes in it's body cells.
What is 4 chromosomes (half the original number)?
These changes are responsible for variations in the population.
What are mutations?
In DNA, Adenine binds with this nitrogen base.
What is Thymine?
This is the location of cellular respiration in the cell.
What is mitochondria?
Data that is collected using your five senses.
What are observations?
The primary source of energy for an ecosystem.
What is the sun?
Darwin's theory of evolution, that with enough time a population is modified to produce a new species.
What is natural selection?
The building blocks of proteins.
What are amino acids?
Glycolysis is the breakdown of this molecule during cellular respiration.
What is Glucose?
This is the part of the experiment that is used for comparison.
What is the control group?
The waste products of cellular respiration (must name both correctly)
What are Carbon dioxide and Water?
Why are organisms in the same niche in competition?
What are Limited Resources (compete for food, shelter, reproduction, and escape from predation)?
DNA is made of these subunits.
What are nucleotides?
How the pancreas regulates blood glucose levels.
What is releasing hormones? Hormones involved: -Insulin to bring levels down -Glucagon to bring levels up
This rejects or accepts the hypothesis based on the data.
What is the conclusion?
These recycle animal waste, inorganic substances, and/or nutrients back to the soil for plants to absorb.
What are decomposers?
The reason why the frequency of an allele for stronger wing muscles increase in a bat population.
What is 'more likely to survive and reproduce'? (Bats with the stronger wing trait are more likely to survive and reproduce, when completing for food and avoiding predators.)
This organelle makes proteins.
What are ribosomes?
This starting reactant of cellular respiration travels through the respiratory system of the human body.
What is Oxygen?
