Bio 205 UofC Exam Questions and Answers
1. 7 Common Order, Reproduction, Growth and development, Energy processing, Response to
properties and environment, Regulation, Evolutionary adaptation
processes of liv-
ing organisms
2. Biological Orga- Molecule, organelle, Cell, Tissues, Organ, Organ system, Organism, Population,
nization Hierar- Community, Ecosystem, Biosphere
chy (smallest to
largest)
3. Prokaryotic Cell lacks a nucleus with free floating DNA, came first, roughly 4.3 bya
4. Eukaryotic Cell has a membrane bound nucleus, has a number of membrane bound organelles
roughly 2.1 bya
5. DNA The genetic material of all cells. Nucleic acid that contains genetic instructions for
development and function of all known organisms. Diversity of life is because of
DNA
6. Evolution change in heritable characteristics. Responsible for unity and diversity of life
7. 3 Domains of Life Bacteria-most diverse and widespread prokaryotes
Archaea- Prokaryotes that often live in earths extreme environments
Eukarya- Have eukaryotic cells. Single celled and multicellular protists. (plants and
animals)
8. Charles Darwins 1. Species are descendants of ancestral species
2 main points on 2. Mechanism for evolution is natural selection
