The adjustment or changes in behavior, physiology,
Adaptation- and structure of an organism to become more suited
to an environment.
Aerobic- A process that requires oxygen.
Allele -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).
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
amino acids -
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- A process that occurs without oxygen.

A stage within the mitosis phase of cell division (also
known as cell reproduction). Anaphase starts when
Anaphase- sister chromatids separate from each other and ends
when each set of separated, sister chromatids arrives
at the opposite poles of the cell.
The third stage of Meiosis I—the two homologous
anaphase I- chromosomes separate and migrate toward opposite
poles.
The third stage in Meiosis II—the centromeres
separate and the sister chromatids (now individual
anaphase II-
chromosomes) move toward the opposite poles of
the cell.
Deliberate mating between two individuals who were
artificial selection-
selected based on desired traits.
A type of reproduction where genetically identical
offspring are created from a single parent. This type
asexual reproduction -
of reproduction does not utilize meiosis or gametes.
Bacteria
and fungi are examples of
organisms that reproduce
in this manner.
The basic unit of matter that cannot be further broken
down without losing its unique properties. One atom
Atom-
consists of a dense nucleus surrounded by a cloud of
electrons.
Describes a trait associated with alleles located on
Autosomal-
autosomes (non sex chromosomes).
autosomal chromosome- A chromosome not involved in sex determination.
The processes that transfer chemical elements
between biotic and abiotic components in an
biogeochemical cycle- ecosystem. There are several main cycles: the water
cycle, the carbon cycle, the nitrogen cycle, and the
phosphorus cycle.
