Freshman Biology Final Exam Review with complete solution
Adaptation - The process of becoming adapted to an environment
Allele - One of the alternative forms of a gene that govens a characteristic
Anaphase - A phase in mitosis and meiosis in which chromosomes seperate
Autosome - Any chromosome that is not a sex chromosome
Cell Cycle - A repeating set of events in the life of a cell including interphase and cell division
Chromatids - One of two strands of a chromosme that becomes visable during meiosis
or mitosis
Codominant Traits - A condition in which two both alleles are fully expressed
Coevolution - The evolution of two or more species due to mutual influence, often to make a relationship more mutually beneficial
Community - A group of various species that live in the same habitat and interact with each other
Competiton - The struggle between individuals or different populations for a limited resource
Convergent Evolution - The process by which unrelated species become more similar as the adapt to the same kind of environment
Crossing Over - The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes
during meiosis; can result in genetic recombination
Cytokinesis - The division of cytoplasm in a cell; follows the division of the cell's nucleus by mitosis of meiosis
Diploid - A cell that contains two haploid cells
Divergent Evolution - The procee by which two or more related but reproductively isolate populations become more similar
