| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what r the rules of Binomial nomenclature | if written, 1st letter of genus capitalized, species lowecase and both underlined if typed, 1st letter of genus capitalized, species lowecase and italicized |

| What three types of evidence do scientists use to uncover relationships between organisms | 1. Anatomical Evidence 2. Physiological Evidence 3. DNA Evidence |
| What is anatomy | branch of biology that deals with the structure and form of organisms including internal systems |
| How is anatomical evidence used | comparing the anatomy of different species using fossils or looking for homologus structures |
| what is physiology | the study of the biochemistry of organisms in |
| How is physiological evidence used | comparing proteins between species because proteins are determined by genes. this reveal how genetically similar organisms are |
| how is DNA evidence used | comparing DNA sequences of different species to determine evolutionary realtionships |
| What is a phylogenic tree | a branching diagram that represents a hypothesis about the evolutionary relativeness between speices |
| what is an ancestor | any organism from which another organism has descended, forming a part of its evolutionary lineage |
| What is a heterotroph | an organism that eats other organisms for food |
| What is an autotroph | an organism that makes its own food |
| What is a dichotomous key | a key/index that helps identify organisms through a series of choices with 2 contradicting options |
| What is a eukaryotic cell | a cell that has a present nucleus, generally larger cell size, present organelles, linear DNA, which produces sexually (no cell wall) |
| What is a prokaryotic cell | a cell that has an absent nucleus, generally smaller cell size, absent organelles, circular DNA, which produces asexually (present cell wall) |
| what is a sessile organism | an organism which cannot move |
| what is a motile organism | an organism which can move |
| What is a capsid | protective protein coat of a virus which holds genetic material |
| what is the lytic cycle | a process that produces a new virus inside a host cell and results in the destruction of the cell |
| what are the steps of the lytic cycle | 1. attachment 2. entry 3. replication 4. assembly 5. lysis |
| what is the lysogenic cycle | a process where viral DNA replicates along with the host's dna without killing the host immediately |
| what are the 3 common shapes of prokaryotic cells | cocci - spherical bacilli - rod shaped spirilla - spiral shaped |
| What is conjugation | exchange of DNA between bacteria, sharing material transferring between two cells via pilus (bridging structure) |
| what is an extremophile | archaea which live in extreme conditions like high temp, high acid content, and high salt concentration |
| what is a mesophile | bacteria that live in moderate condiitons |
| what is methanogenesis | a process of archaea producing methane gas using methanogens |
| what is the endosymbiotic theory | the theory that a larger cell engulfed smaller prokaryotic cells capable of aerobic respiration or photosynthesis (cells evolved to be mitochondria and chloroplasts) |
| what is cilia | hair like projections that help certain prokaryotic cells move |
| what is flagella | a tail that helps certain prokaryotic cells move |
| what is a pseudopod | false feet that helps certain prokaryotic cells move |
| what is an embryo | plant data inside a seed protected and nourished by parent |
| what is a gametophyte | a haploid organism |
| what is a sporophyte | a diploid organism |
| what is an angiosperm | organisms that protect their seeds in fruits and reproduce using flowers (vascular plants, protected seeds, reproduce with flowers) |
| what is a bryophyte | non-vascular seedless plants that reproduce with spores: gametophyte dominant (haploids) |
| what is a cone | reproductive structures of gymnosperms |
| what is a flower | angiosperm's specialized structures for reproduction |
| what is a fruit | angiosperm's specialized structures for seed protection |
| what is a gymnosperm | a vascular plant that produces naked seeds. reproduces with cones (male and female) and is sporophyte dominant (diploid) |
| what is a fungus (skip maybe) | diverse group of eukaryotic organisms |
| what is the hyphae | the unique filaments of mycelium |
| what is mycelium | fungi's branching network of filaments underground |
| what is bilateral symmetry | when an organism can be divided into two mirror image halves |
| what is radial symmetry | when an organism can be split around a central axis |
| what is segmentation | the division of an animals body into segments that can operate independently |
| what is a coelom | fluid filled cavity - for organ development and movement |
| what is an exoskeleton | external body covering for the body of some invertebrates like anthropods |
| what is an endoskeleton | internal skeleton of vertebrates |
| what is an invertebrate | an animal without a backbone |
| what is a mammary gland | gland in chest area which allows for secretion of milk for offspring |
| what is a notochord | flexible rod like structure that muscles attach to (which was replaced by spine) |
| what is a vertebrate | an animal with a backbone |
| what is a tetrapod | four legged animal |
| what is antheridium | plant structure that produces male gametes (sperm) |
| what is archegonium | plant structure that produces female gametes (eggs) |
