CLEMSON BIO 1100 EXAM 1 - DR.
MINOR QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
100% PASS 2026 EDITION
Hypothesis - ANS A testable explanation for a set of observations based on the available data
and guided by inductive reasoning. (A hypothesis is narrower in scope then a theory)
Prediction - ANS In deductive reasoning, a forecast that follows logically from a hypothesis.
By testing predictions, experiments may allow certain hypotheses to be rejected.
Apoptosis - ANS programmed cell death involving a cascade of specific cellular events leading
to the death and destruction of the cell.
Emergent Properties - ANS New properties that arise with each step upward in the hierarchy
of life, owing to the arrangement and interactions of parts as complexity increases.
Gene Expression - ANS the process by which information is encoded in DNA directs the
synthesis of proteins or, in some cases RNA's that are no translated into proteins instead to
functional RNA.
form and function - ANS A big idea in science that asks the learner to consider the shape of
an object and how it relates to what it does. Form changes evolve over time as functions
change.
