Biology 1 Honors EOC Review UPDATED
Exam Questions and CORRECT Answers
compounds - CORRECT ANSWER - combination of two or more elements
phenotype - CORRECT ANSWER - the physical appearance of genes in an organism
organic compound - CORRECT ANSWER - compound that contains carbon atoms that
have combined with each other
multiple alleles - CORRECT ANSWER - three or more alleles that exist for one gene
example: blood types
inorganic compound - CORRECT ANSWER - compound with no combination of carbon
atoms
codominance - CORRECT ANSWER - 2 dominant genes are expressed and both genes
are seen in the organism
ex: blood type
carbohydrates - CORRECT ANSWER - sugars used for short term energy
incomplete dominance - CORRECT ANSWER - occurs when two dominant genes are
expressed and blended together in the organism
ex: pink flower
lipids - CORRECT ANSWER - fats and oils used for long term energy (insulin, steroids)
, polygenic trait - CORRECT ANSWER - trait controlled by more than one pair of genes,
such as skin color
enzymes - CORRECT ANSWER - special types of proteins that speed up chemical
reactions in the body but are not changed by the reactions
sex linked trait - CORRECT ANSWER - trait found on X chromosome
cell - CORRECT ANSWER - smallest unit that is alive and can carry on all the processes
of life
ecology - CORRECT ANSWER - study of how organisms fit into their environment
nucleic acids - CORRECT ANSWER - made up of amino acids, used for construction
materials and chemical reactions in the body; DNA and RNA

organelles - CORRECT ANSWER - specialized compartments that carry out a special
function
