Gene Expression
The process that uses a DNA template to make mRNA.
What is transcription?
In a pedigree, the shape that is used to represent a male
What is a square?
The system that holds support and structure to the body and consists of all the bones
What is the skeletal system?
The strongest evidence for evolution
What is genetic evidence?
The person who first came up with the idea of evolution through natural selection
Who is Charles Darwin?
The four bases in DNA
What are A, T, C, and G?
(adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine) +50 points
The type of diagram used to determine the probabilities of phenotypes in offspring between two parents who have known genotypes?
What is a Punnett Square?
The system that fights diseases using white blood cells, T cells, and antibodies
What is the immune system?
When DNA sequences are compared between species to determine their similarities and differences
What is genetic evidence for evolution?
When species select a mate based on some characteristic or behavior of that animal
What is non-random mating?
The end product of gene expression
What is a protein?
When an individual has one dominant allele and one recessive allele
What is a heterozygote?
The body system that involves the heart, blood vessels and transports materials throughout the body like a highway
When body structures are studied on different living organisms to determine similarities and differences between the species
What is anatomical evidence for evolution?
The set of islands in Ecuador that Darwin visited on his voyage on the H. M. S. Beagle. On these islands, Darwin noticed iguanas, penguins, and a variety of finches that had different characteristics depending on the island
What are the Galapagos Islands?
Translate this DNA sequence:
5' AGG ACT CCG 3'
What is the DNA coding for mRNA:
3' UCC UGA GGC 5'
When two genes are next to each other and are usually inherited together.
What is a linked gene?
The body system that involves the production of signaling molecules called hormones
What is the endocrine system?
When developing unborn babies are compared between species to determine the similarities and differences between species in early development
What is evidence through embryology?
A scientist who inspired Darwin based on his idea that the human population cannot keep growing forever because we will at some point run out of space and resources on earth to support everyone
Who is Thomas Malthus?
A macromolecule that is responsible for carrying an amino acid to the growing protein, and matching the correct amino acid to the mRNA codon.
What is tRNA?
The phenotypic ratio resulting from a cross between two double heterozygous parents
What is 9:3:3:1?
The human body system that involves the skin, hair, and nails
What is the integumentary system?
A family tree that incorporates many species and shows which species are most closely related
What is a phylogenetic tree?
The super-microbes that have evolve traits to survive harsh conditions created when a patient uses medications. These microbes are more likely to evolve when medications are over-used or mis-used.
What is antibiotic-resistant bacteria?
