grouping of organisms or objects based on a set of criteria that helps organize, communicate, and retain information.

branch of biology that identifies, names, and classifies species based on their natural relationships.

evolutionary history of a species.

asexual form of reproduction used by some prokaryotes in which a cell divides into two genetically identical cells.

form of reproduction used by some prokaryotes in which the prokaryotic cells attach to each other and exchange genetic material.

viral replication process in which genetic material of the virus enters the host cell's cytoplasm, the cell replicates the viral DNA or RNA, and the host cell is instructed to manufacture capsids and assemble new viral particles which then leave the cell.

viral replication process in which viral DNA inserts into the host cell's chromosome, may remain dormant and later activate and instruct the host cell to produce more viruses.

RNA virus, such as HIV, with reverse transcriptase in its core.

heterotrophic, unicellular, animal-like protist

alternation of generation

reproductive life cycle that alternates between a diploid sporophyte generation and a haploid gametophyte generation

tough, flexible polysaccharide in the exoskeletons of insects and crustaceans and in fungal cell walls.

threadlike filament that makees up the basic structural unit of a multicellular fungus.

complex, netlike mass made up of branching hyphae.

reproductive haploid cell with a hard outer shell that forms a new organism without the fusion of gametes and is produced in the asexual and sexual life cycles of most fungi and some other organisms.

specialized tissue that transports water, food, and other substances in vascular plants and can also provide structure and support.

seed structure that stores food or helps absorb food for the sporophyte of vascular seed plants.

openings in the outer cell layer of leaf surfaces and some stems that allow the exchange of water, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and other gases between a plant and its environment.

response to an external stimulus in a specific direction.

one of a pair of cells that function in the opening and closing of a plant's stomata by changes in their shape.

process in which mRNA in synthesized from the template DNA

Question	Answer
classification	grouping of organisms or objects based on a set of criteria that helps organize, communicate, and retain information.
taxonomy	branch of biology that identifies, names, and classifies species based on their natural relationships.
phylogeny	evolutionary history of a species.
binary fission	asexual form of reproduction used by some prokaryotes in which a cell divides into two genetically identical cells.
conjugation	form of reproduction used by some prokaryotes in which the prokaryotic cells attach to each other and exchange genetic material.
lytic cycle	viral replication process in which genetic material of the virus enters the host cell's cytoplasm, the cell replicates the viral DNA or RNA, and the host cell is instructed to manufacture capsids and assemble new viral particles which then leave the cell.
lysogenic cycle	viral replication process in which viral DNA inserts into the host cell's chromosome, may remain dormant and later activate and instruct the host cell to produce more viruses.

mycelium	complex, netlike mass made up of branching hyphae.
spore	reproductive haploid cell with a hard outer shell that forms a new organism without the fusion of gametes and is produced in the asexual and sexual life cycles of most fungi and some other organisms.
vascular tissue	specialized tissue that transports water, food, and other substances in vascular plants and can also provide structure and support.
cotyledons	seed structure that stores food or helps absorb food for the sporophyte of vascular seed plants.
stomata	openings in the outer cell layer of leaf surfaces and some stems that allow the exchange of water, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and other gases between a plant and its environment.
tropisms	response to an external stimulus in a specific direction.
guard cell	one of a pair of cells that function in the opening and closing of a plant's stomata by changes in their shape.
