Emory Bio 141 Exam 1
protein secondary structure - ANSWER-alpha helix and beta pleated sheet; hydrogen
bonds
protein tertiary structure - ANSWER-3D shape; H bonding, covalent bonding, ionic
bonding, van der Waals interactions, hydrophobic interactions
protein quaternary structure - ANSWER-multiple polypeptide chains
missense mutation - ANSWER-A base-pair substitution that results in a codon that
codes for a different amino acid.
nonsense mutation - ANSWER-A mutation that changes an amino acid codon to one of
the three stop codons, resulting in a shorter and usually nonfunctional protein
Plato - ANSWER-typological thinking
Aristotle - ANSWER-typological thinking and scale of nature
Lamarck - ANSWER-change through time, scale of nature, an individual changes,
spontaneous generation of low forms
Darwin and Wallace - ANSWER-change through time, common ancestry
evidence for evolution - ANSWER-1. artificial breeding 2. intermediate forms 3.
imperfections 4. transitional fossils 5. hierarchical organization of life 6. homology 7.
vestigial traits 8. biogeography
existing theories of evolution - ANSWER-young earth, species perfect created by God,
fixed and did not vary
Darwin and Wallace's theories - ANSWER-species change, common descent,
multiplication of species, gradualism, natural selection, descent with modification
biogeography - ANSWER-law of succession; where fossils are found is where they
lived. shows hoe species change over time through the fossil record
artificial breeding - ANSWER-can see evolution in real time
intermediate forms - ANSWER-gradual stages between simple and complex structures
imperfections - ANSWER-a perfect creator would not engineer organisms with
deficiencies
