The ANS-Spatial Habitat, how the species obtains food, and how the species interacts are
all components of a species' ecological niche. A vector is a DNA carrier that moves genes
from one cell to another. - ANS-True
adaptive radiation - ANS-An evolutionary pattern in which many species evolve from a
single ancestral species
After DNA replication is completed, - ANS-each new DNA double helix consists of one old
DNA strand and one new DNA strand
All species that live together in a specific area form a community - ANS-True
An animal that only eat plants is - ANS-Herbivore
An ecosystem consists of - ANS-A biological community and its physical environment
An orchid plant lives in the treetops, gaining access to sun and pollinators, but not harming
the trees. This is an example of - ANS-Commensalism
Gene therapy has not yet been successful in treating human diseases. - ANS-False
Complete the following: DNA ? ________ ? Protein - ANS-RNA
DNA has two nucleotide strands and RNA has one nucleotide strand. - ANS-True
Energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy by - ANS-Photosynthesis
Formation of a new species is called - ANS-Speciation
A frameshift mutation, or ANS, occurs when a nucleotide is added or taken out of the DNA
sequence in such a way as to alter the rest of the sequence after Homology is the similarity
in structures due to common ancestry. - ANS-True
How can DNA fingerprinting be used? - ANS-In crime investigations, can be used to
compare DNA samples.
Monocultures are intensive cultivations of a single plant variety over large areas. - ANS-True
Mutations in sperm or egg cells can be passed to the next generation - ANS-True
PCR stands for - ANS-polymerase chain reaction
ANS-DNA, also known as recombinant DNA, is made by combining DNA from various
sources. Small, circular DNA molecules that are separate from the bacterial chromosome
are known as... - ANS-Plasmid
The Darwinian fitness of an individual is measured by... - ANS-The number of its offspring
that survive to reproduce.
The founder effect is the change in a gene pool of a small population due to chance. -
ANS-True
The main purpose of PCR is to determine the sequence a strand of DNA. - ANS-True
The most diverse ecosystem on Earth is - ANS-Tropical Rainforest
The smallest biological unit that can evolve over time is - ANS-Population
A nucleotide is made up of ANS (sugar), phosphate, and a nitrogenous base. Transcription
occurs in the cytoplasm. - ANS-False
ANS are genetically modified plants that are resistant to insect infestation. Two different
species can evolve independently but acquire the same traits as adaptations to similar
environments. - ANS-True
