QuestionAnswer
Aristotle if you mix male and female fluids (blood) you get true blood.
Pangenes Move through reproductive organs
Spermists Believed a little human lived in the sperm
Ovists Believed a human was in the egg and sperm sparked life
Blending theory-Mendel Traits from both parents are blended and insepirable in offspring
Mendel True blending
Monohybrid One trait
Dihybrid Two traits
Phenotype Traits observable
Genotype Versions of genes called alleles
Fredrich Miescher "Nuclien" a.k.a DNA
Chromosomes and DNA Chromosomes consist of DNA and protein
Fredrich Griffith Smooth? Rough? Heated smooth?heated smooth + rough? Streptococcus Disease,smooth killed, Rough lived, Heated smooth made the mice live, and heated + smooth they died QUICKLY
DNA DNA is made up of Phosphate, Sugars, and 4 bases. A=T, C=G
DNA does what? Wraps around protein, protein re-organizes DNA.
Genes Parts of DNA that code for protein
Protein Structure Structure, Storage, Transportation, Regulation, Communication, Protection
Transcription MRna makes a copy of gene
Translation Determines the order of amino acids
Genetic Engineering rBGH
Plasmid Multiplies in bacteria
Transgenic when an organism contains DNA from another species
Cancer A series of mutations cause uncontrollable cell growth
Mitosis Cell Division
Apoptis Cell Death
Free Radicals Mutagens damage DNA
Genome hereditary information is common between individuals of the same species
Hox Gene Organizes the head, thorax, and abdomen
Transposons Non-coding DNA that can be copied and moved around
Bookmarks Can turn certain genes on
Epigenes changes genes functioning
Enhancement Gene Therapy Enhances ones phenotype
Drift and flow Gene flow, Survival of the luckiest, and changes in alleles is random VS. natural selection
Mutations Production of alleles
Selection certain alleles are favored
Genetic drift Random changes in frequency
gene flow alleles move between populations
Mass Extinction- Catastrophes Directly kill organisms.
Climate change Species Survival
Other species Competing with similar organisms
Current extinction 20 million species in the world, and only 2 million identified
Extinction rate 10 thousand/year
Habitat loss means accelerated extinction rate
Other causes of extinction Introduced species VS. Endermo and unregulated hunting and collecting
hominan/hominids human-like species, bipedal/upright, about 5 MYA
sanelanthropus 7 MYA
Major Transition on human evolution=5 MYA Major climate change
Ardipithecus, Australpithecus 2.5 MYA, stone tools, and larger brains
Homo Erectus 1.5 MYA Larger hand axe tools, and shelters
Homo Sapiens, Homo Neanderthalensis 500 TYA, social cooperation, and better tools
Homo Sapiens Sapiens 50 TYA, modern minds, burials, jewelery, and paintings
Homo floresciencis At least 13 tya
Hominan evolutionary context Parasites, new enviornment, social interaction, genetic constraints
Relative Fitness An individuals chance of leaving its offspring compared to others
Ethology the study of animal behavior
Innate Behavior Drive, Reflex
Behavior Impacts fitness
Genes Determine Innate behavior
Experiences lead to learned behavior
Learned Behaviors Imprinting, habituation, associative learning, latent learning
Factors Impacting fitness Territory, mates, limited resources, food and water, continual threats.
Animal Defense Fight, flight/flee, hide/freeze
Social Behaviors Impact Fitness Pair Bonding, many mates, parental care
Reciprocal altruism organisms sacrifice resources for each other, Problem-cheating, Solution-long term relationships
Inclusive Fitness Reproductive success of relatives
Cognition understanding the world
Intelligence cognitive capacity
Types of intelligence musical, logical+linguistic/mathematical, bodily kinesthetic, spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal
Intelligence is linked to protein changes in the brain
Human Behavior-Few human behaviors are linked to genetic variation
Genetics and enviornment impact behaviors
Circadian Rythms genes strongly impact
Hypothalamus turns genes on and off releasing hormones
Genes impact emotions
concentrations of protein hormones and receptors make emotions more likely
Genes are critical for brain development
Dyslexia has at least 8 different chromosomial differences than normal

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
