Biology 200 Exam 1 with 100% Correct
Solutions
evolution - ANS-The process of change that has transformed life on earth from its
earliest beginnings to the diversity of organisms living today.
biology - ANS-scientific study of life
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.
Systems biology - ANS-approach that attempts to model the dynamic behavior of a
whole biological system based on a study of the interactions among the system's parts
Levels of Biological Organization - ANS-1. Biosphere
2. Ecosystems
3.Communities
4.populations
5.organisms
6.organs and organ systems
7.tissues
8.cells
9.organelles
10.molecules
global climate change - ANS-global warming has dire effects on life-forms and their
habitats all over planet earth
eukaryotic cell - ANS-nucleus bound membrane
DNA - ANS-deoxyribonucleic acid
genes - ANS-units of inheritance that transmit information from parents to offspring
gene expression - ANS-information in a gene directs the production of a cellular product
genome - ANS-entire genetic instructions that an organism inherits
genomics - ANS-study of whole sets of genes of a species as well as comparing
genomes between species
