GEORGIA BIOLOGY EOC EXAM
QUESTIONS COMPLETE WITH 100%
VERIFIED ANSWERS
\.Where do all cells come from? - ANSWERS-Existing cells
\.Carrying Capacity - ANSWERS-The maximum population of a particular
organism that a given environment can support without detrimental
effects
\.Gamete - ANSWERS-a mature sexual reproductive cell, as a sperm or
egg, that unites with another cell to form a new organism.
\.Zygote - ANSWERS-the cell produced by the union of two gametes,
before it undergoes cleavage.
\.Embryo - ANSWERS-the young of a viviparous animal, especially of a
mammal, in the early stages of development within the womb, in
humans up to the end of the second month
\.Punnett Square - ANSWERS-a type of grid used to show the gametes
of each parent and their possible offspring; a type of grid that can
indicate all the possible outcomes of a genetic cross
,\.Phenotype - ANSWERS-The expression of a specific trait based on
genetic and environmental influences.
\.Genotype - ANSWERS-the genetic makeup of an organism or group of
organisms with reference to a single trait, set of traits, or an entire
complex of traits.
\.Allele - ANSWERS-any of several forms of a gene, usually arising
through mutation, that are responsible for hereditary variation.
\.Homozygous - ANSWERS-having identical pairs of genes for any given
pair of hereditary characteristics
\.Heterozygous - ANSWERS-having dissimilar pairs of genes for any
hereditary characteristic
\.Dominant Trait - ANSWERS-a trait that will appear in the offspring if
one of the parents contributes it
\.Recessive Trait - ANSWERS-a trait that mustt be contributed by both
parents in order to appear in the offspring
, \.Nondisjunction - ANSWERS-the failure of chromosomes to separate
and segregate into daughter cells at division
\.Mutation - ANSWERS-a sudden change different than the parent type
in one or more heritable characteristics, caused by a change in a gene
or a chromosome
\.Genetic Engineering - ANSWERS-the development and application of
scientific methods, procedures, and technologies that permit direct
manipulation of genetic material in order to alter the hereditary traits
of a cell, organism, or population
\.Recombinant DNA - ANSWERS-DNA in which one or more segments or
genes have been inserted, either naturally or by laboratory
manipulation, from a different molecule or from another part of the
same molecule, resulting in a new genetic combination
\.Transcription - ANSWERS-The process by which mRNA is synthesized
from a DNA template resulting in the transfer of genetic information
from the DNA molecule to mRNA
\.Replication - ANSWERS-the process by which exact copies of complex
molecules, such as DNA molecules, that occurs during growth of living
organisms
