Bio Final Unit

QuestionAnswer
How many daughter cells are produced during mitosis? 2
How do the cells produced during mitosis compare to their parent cell? Identical
What kind of reproduction is used in mitosis? Asexual
Which cell organelle is responsible for using oxygen? Mitochondria
What is the process of the mitochondria using oxygen called? Cellular Respiration
If a cell has a lot of mitochondria, what does that indicate? High energy demand
What is the main function of DNA? Code for proteins
What happens when a cell with 5% salinity is placed into saltwater solution of 20% salinity? Water moves out of cell and shrinks, hypertonic
What happens when a cell with 5% salinity is placed into freshwater solution of 0% salinity? Water moves into the cell and swells, hypotonic
What is the name of the process that shrinks and swells the cells based on salinity? Osmosis
What is homeostasis? Living organisms maintain stables. Ex) temp, water, blood sugar
What are the only cells with the potential to produce any type of specialized cells? Undifferentiated/embryonic cells
What is the only thing that does not change as the cell is differentiated? DNA Sequence
What are the advantages to organisms living in large groups? Less predators, offspring care help, help to get resources
What factors are necessary to maintain a stable ecosystem? Biodiversity, predator-prey relationships
What are some examples of competition between organisms? Food, homes, water, mates, light
What is the chemical equations for photosynthesis? CO2 + H2O + Light into C6H12O6 + O2
What is the chemical equations for cellular respiration? C6H12O6 + O2 into CO2 + H2O + ATP
What would make the rate of photosynthesis and cellular respiration decrease? No water, low CO2 or O2, low light
What is the role of a producer in an ecosystem? Provide energy + food
What is the role of a consumer in an ecosystem? Transfer energy, balance population, and cycle nutrients
What is the role of a decomposer in an ecosystem? Cycle nutrients, help soil, remove waste, and flow energy
What factors lead a species to become invasive? Harm to environment and native species
What factors affect the growth of a population of organisms? Birth, death, food source, disease, climate, predators, immigration
List 3 main pieces of evidence for evolution DNA, embryology, fossils
If an organism has structural similarities, what can be said about their ancestry? Homologous structure = common ancestor
How do organisms change and become distinct species? natural selection --> speciation
Define the term biodiversity Assortment of life species on Earth on the genetic and ecosystem levels
How are geologic time periods determined? By the origin and extinction of taxa
If DNA between two species is similar, what does it indicate? Recent common ancestor
Tan months can have white, brown and tan offspring. If they live in an area that is darkening due to pollution, which offspring are likely to survive? Brown + Tan
Tan months can have white, brown and tan offspring. If they live in an area that is darkening due to pollution, what will happen to the moths over time? They will darken
What is the cause of genetic mutations? Changes in DNA sequences
What are genetic mutations the source of? Variability in a population
What is a somatic cell? Give 3 examples. Any other cells than sperm/egg cells. Ex)skin, nerve, muscle
What is a gamete? Sex cell such as a sperm or egg cell.
How many chromosomes are in a human gamete and how do they compare to a somatic cell? 23, half of somatic cells
What is the function of meiosis? Reduce the number of chromosomes to 1/2 for gametes and create non-identical cells to parents (4 non-identical cells w/ 23 chromosomes).
What does crossing over result in? Different combos of alleles
How do scientists genetically modify organisms? By inserting genes from 1 organism into another
The offspring of asexual reproduction are _______ to the parent unless there is a ________ __________. identical, genetic mutation
Hemophilia and color blindness are sex-linked traits. How would you be able to identify a trait that is sex linked on a pedigree? Color blindness carried on X chromosomes, mom passed traits to sons.
What represents males and females on a pedigree? M - Square F - Circle
How are affected individuals shown in a pedigree? Shaded
Define osmosis Movement of water across permeable membrane from high water concentrates (low solute) to low water concentrates (high solute).
Drought resistant GMO advantages grows w/ less water, more reliable crop yields, prevents food shortage, farms in low reliable areas, saves water
Drought resistant GMO trade offs expensive seeds, reduces genetic diversity, environmental concern, reliant on seed companies, public concern
DNA to DNA DNA Repliction
DNA to RNA Transcription
RNA to amino acid chains Translation
What happens if the base of a food web increases? Can cause eutrophication
Process of eutrophication Farm field fertilizer runoff, algae bloom on lake, dead plants sink, bacteria decompose, low oxygen levels, fish die
