what is independent assortment - . . ANSWER ✓✓ genes for
different traits can segregate independent during the form of a
gamete
what is meant by survival of the fittest - . . ANSWER ✓✓ those
who are best suited to their environments are most likely to
succeed, reproduce, and pass on genes
what is RNA - . . ANSWER ✓✓ - DNA's helper
- single strand
- made up of monomers called nucleotides
- uses the sugar ribose
- RNA has Uracil instead of Thymine
what is the calvin cycle/dark reaction/light-independent reaction
- . . ANSWER ✓✓ uses ATP and NADPH from the light dependent
reactions to produce high energy sugars
,2|Page
what is the carbon cycle - . . ANSWER ✓✓ process of
transferring carbon between earth's living organisms and earth's
geological elements (cellular respiration)
what is the importance of DNA - . . ANSWER ✓✓ - tells the
genetic information
- used to make the proteins of the cell
what is the nitrogen cycle - . . ANSWER ✓✓ the pathway for
movement of the element nitrogen among earth's living
organisms, waters, rocks and minerals, and atmosphere
what is the phosphorus cycle - . . ANSWER ✓✓ phosphorus finds
its way to land via hurricane, tsunamis, earthquakes, and
volcanic activity
adaptation - . . ANSWER ✓✓ any inherited trait that increases an
organisms chance of survival
aerobic - . . ANSWER ✓✓ respiration that uses oxygen
, 3|Page
allele - . . ANSWER ✓✓ different forms of a gene
anaerobic - . . ANSWER ✓✓ respiration that does not use
oxygen; krebs cycle and electron transport shuts down, runs on
glycolysis
analogous structures - . . ANSWER ✓✓ superficially similar but
result due to convergent evolution, not common ancestry
example: many animals have wings but are not the same type of
structure (bee vs bird)
anaphase I (step 2) - . . ANSWER ✓✓ spindle fibers move
homologous chromosomes to opposite sides
anaphase II (step 6) - . . ANSWER ✓✓ chromatids seperate
Animals use oxygen in the process of _____________ and make
more CO2. - . . ANSWER ✓✓ respiration
ATP structure ***STUDY*** - . . ANSWER ✓✓
before a cell divides, when does it duplicate its DNA - . .
