Prior to Darwin this was the general view of evolution

Species are fixed permanent forms that do not evolve

100

This scientist believed we could acquire new traits as we needed them 

Jean Baptiste Lamarck

These are regulated by internal and external controls

Define Biotechnology.

Bonus 100 pts is Biotechnology new or old, explain 

is the use of living organisms or their components to make useful things

100

A bond that results in an unequal sharing of electrons

Polar

200

Darwin's proposed scientific mechanism was called

Natural Selection 

200

In order to have the best fitness, these two traits are desired

Be able to survive and produce more offspring

200

This type of tumor is fast growing and can move to other parts of the body

Malignant

What are the 4 major areas in Biotechnology.

Must include an example of each

1.Healthcare—medicine

2.Food and consumer goods

3.Agricultural—non-food uses of crops, oils, fibers, clothing

4.Environment—biofuels, biodegradable plastics

200

The process that puts 3 monomers together to make 1 polymer could be described by which 2 terms

Anabolic

Endergonic

300

This other scientist was also contributed to the natural selection theory 

Alfred Wallace 

300

The 6 lines of evidence for evolution

1. Direct observation

2. Artificial selection

3. Comparative anatomy

4. Embryology

5. Molecular Biology

6. Paleontology 

300

The process which a new blood vessel is formed to supply a tumor 

Angiogenesis

300

This biotechnology makes multiple copies of a specific gene fragment. 

Bonus 100pts give me an example of why it is important 

Gene cloning

proteins used for meds

cleaning up toxic waste water 

300

Transcription takes place in the _____, while translation takes place in the_______.n

Nucleolus, cytoplasm

400

Vertebrate forelimbs are considered to be this_____ because they have a different function but are similar in structure because of a common ancestry.

homologous structures

400

The term adaptation is described as this

The adjustment or changes in behavior,  physiology, and structure of an organism to become more suited to an environment

400

If there is too much DNA damage normal cells do this____, however cancer cells can override this process

programmed cell death, apoptosis or cell suicide

400

These cells are used for gene therapy and why 

Bone marrow cells, which contain stem cells that give rise to all the cells of the blood and immune system

normal allele would have to be transferred to cells that multiply throughout a person’s life

400

If the template strand of DNA is 5’ CGGTAC 3’, then the RNA sequence will be this


3’ GCCAUG 5’

Describe the steps of creating a new GMO in a plant 

1. The plasmid is cut and the new gene is inserted into the plasmid

2. The plasmid is introduced into a plant cell in culture

3. The plant cell grows the new GMO plant
