Bio 1201 Exam 1 (Licata) Questions With
Correct Answers
Qualitative Data uses descriptions/observations rather than measurements
Quantitative Data using exact numbers
Reductionism Reduction of complex systems into simpler systems so they are easier to
study
Studying DNA structure to understand inheritance is an example of what? Reductionism
Models behavior of a whole biological system and looks at different interactions between levels
of biological organization systems of biology
Seeing how blood pressure medicine affects multiple organs is an example of what?
Systems biology
Long version of DNA Deoxyribonucleic acid
What is DNA a genetic blueprint
-Includes genes
,What are genes? segments of DNA
-smallest units of inheritance
What is gene expression converting genetic information from the gene into a full cellular
being
List the scientific method 1. Observation
2. Make a model - set up what you plan on doing
3. Form a hypothesis
4. Test
List the levels of biological organization? (from smallest to largest) molecules
organelles
