Honors biology Unit 1 study guide with
complete solutions
Biosphere - Answer✔️✔️-All livings things and all the places they are found
Organism - Answer✔️✔️-Any individual living thing
System - Answer✔️✔️-Organized group of related parts that interact to form a whole
Observation - Answer✔️✔️-Act of noting and recording something
Independent Variable - Answer✔️✔️-Conditions in the experiment that are manipulated or
changed
Gene - Answer✔️✔️-Heredity unit consisting of a sequence of DNA that occupies a
specific location on a chromosome and determines a particular characteristic in an
organism.
Transgenic - Answer✔️✔️-Change has been made to the DNA of that cell or organism
Biodiversity - Answer✔️✔️-The variety in life forms
Cell - Answer✔️✔️-Collection of living matter enclosed by a barrier that separates the cell

Dependent variable - Answer✔️✔️-Results or what happens in the experiment. They
"depend on" what is changed or manipulated. Items that are observed or measured
Molecular genetics - Answer✔️✔️-Branch of genetics that deals with the expression of
genes by studying the DNA sequences of chromosones
Species - Answer✔️✔️-Type of living thing that can reproduce by interbreeding among
themselves
Metabolism - Answer✔️✔️-All of the chemical processes in the body (some build up while
others break down)
Evolution - Answer✔️✔️-Change over time
Hypothesis - Answer✔️✔️-Proposed scientific explanation for a set of observations
Constants - Answer✔️✔️-Conditions that stay the same in an experiment
Genomics - Answer✔️✔️-Study of genes in an organism
Biology - Answer✔️✔️-Study of life
DNA - Answer✔️✔️-Has the code for making protein; made up of nitrogen bases
Adaptation - Answer✔️✔️-Inherited trait that is passed on to future generations
Experiments - Answer✔️✔️-Test under controlled conditions that is made to demonstrate
a known truth, examine the validity of a hypothesis, or determine the efficacy of
something previously untried
Microscopes - Answer✔️✔️-Optical instrument that uses a lens or a combo of lenses to
produce magnified image of small objects especially of objects too small to be seen by
the unaided eye
