Plant Structure & Mutations
100
Organic molecules that serve as the monomers, or subunits, of nucleic like DNA or RNA.
What is nucleotide?
100
Not liquids, gases, or solid chemical compounds. (organic is opposite.)
What is inorganic?
100
Random change in allele frequencies, caused by a series of chance occurrences that cause an allele to become more or less common in a population.
What is Genetic Drift?
100
Structures that are similar in different species of common ancestry.
What is Homologous Structure?
100
A mutation affecting only one or very few nucleotides in a gene sequence.
What is Point Mutation?
200
Enzymes that bind and may even remodel nucleic acids or nucleic acid protein complexes.
What is Helicase?
200
The formation of complex organic molecules from simpler, inorganic molecules through chemical reactions.
What is Chemical Evolution?
200
Sequence of DNA that codes for a protein.
What is Gene flow?
200
Structures that is inherited from ancestors but have lost much or all of its original function.
What is Vestigal Structure?
200
Single layer of cells covering the young parts of plants.
What is Dermal Tissue?
300
Single-stranded nucleic acid that contains that sugar ribose (mRNA, tRNA, rRNA)
What is RNA?
300
Proposes that organelles were once prokaryotic cells, living inside larger host cells.
What is Endosymbiotic Evolution?
300
Occurs when the probability the two individuals in a population will mate is not the same for all possible parts of individuals.
What is Non-random mating?
300
Body parts that share a common function, but not structure.
What is Analogous Structure?
300
In most plants containing undifferentiated cells.
What is Meristematic tissue?
400
A long chain of amino acids that makes proteins.
What is Polypeptide?
400
How well an organism can survive and reproduce in its environment.
What is Fitness?
400
A branch of science classification.
What is Taxonomy?
400
Study of development of multicellular organisms.
What is Embrology?
400
Vascular plant tissue that conducts water and nutrients upward.
What is Xylem?
500
Enzyme that links together the growing chain of RNA nucleotides during transcription using a DNA strand as a template.
What is RNA Polymerase?
500
Genes and genetics that you get from your parents.
What is Inherited Variation?
500
A diagram depicting the successive points of species difference.
What is Cladogram?
500
Any member of a family.
What is Hominid?
500
Vascular plant tissue that conducts sugars.
What is Phloem?
