Bio WGU study for OA c190 questions with verified
answers
acetyl coA - Ans✓✓✓-A two-carbon molecule that is an intermediate product
between glycolysis and the Krebs cycle in cellular respiration. Pyruvate from
glycolysis is broken down into acetyl coA, which enters the Krebs cycle and is
further broken down.
Adaptation- Ans✓✓✓-The adjustment or changes in behavior, physiology, and
structure of an organism to become more suited to an environment.

Aerobic- Ans✓✓✓-A process that requires oxygen.
Aerobic- Ans✓✓✓-A process that requires oxygen.
Allele - Ans✓✓✓-An alternative form of a gene. An example would be genes that
encode eye color—some encode blue eyes (one allele), while others encode
brown, green, or hazel eye colors (other alleles).

amino acids - Ans✓✓✓-A small organic molecule with the structure of an amino
group, a carboxylic acid group, and an "R" group, which are all bonded to a single
,central carbon atom. The difference between the "R" group is what distinguishes
one amino acid from another. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.

Anaerobic- Ans✓✓✓-A process that occurs without oxygen.
Anaerobic- Ans✓✓✓-A process that occurs without oxygen.
anaphase I- Ans✓✓✓-The third stage of Meiosis I—the two homologous
chromosomes separate and migrate toward opposite poles.
anaphase I- Ans✓✓✓-The third stage of Meiosis I—the two homologous
chromosomes separate and migrate toward opposite poles.
anaphase II- Ans✓✓✓-The third stage in Meiosis II—the centromeres separate
and the sister chromatids (now individual chromosomes) move toward the
opposite poles of the cell.
anaphase II- Ans✓✓✓-The third stage in Meiosis II—the centromeres separate
and the sister chromatids (now individual chromosomes) move toward the
opposite poles of the cell.
Anaphase- Ans✓✓✓-A stage within the mitosis phase of cell division (also known
as cell reproduction). Anaphase starts when sister chromatids separate from each
,other and ends when each set of separated, sister chromatids arrives at the
opposite poles of the cell.

and fungi are examples of organisms that reproduce in this manner. Ans✓✓✓-
artificial selection- Ans✓✓✓-Deliberate mating between two individuals who
were selected based on desired traits.

asexual reproduction - Ans✓✓✓-A type of reproduction where genetically
identical offspring are created from a single parent. This type of reproduction
does not utilize meiosis or gametes. Bacteria

Atom- Ans✓✓✓-The basic unit of matter that cannot be further broken down
without losing its unique properties. One atom consists of a dense nucleus
surrounded by a cloud of electrons.

autosomal chromosome- Ans✓✓✓-A chromosome not involved in sex
determination.

Autosomal- Ans✓✓✓-Describes a trait associated with alleles located on
autosomes (non sex chromosomes).

biogeochemical cycle- Ans✓✓✓-The processes that transfer chemical elements
between biotic and abiotic components in an ecosystem. There are several main
cycles: the water cycle, the carbon cycle, the nitrogen cycle, and the phosphorus
cycle.
