| The openings in the exoskeleton of arthropods that allow oxygen into highley branched internal tubules that reach individual body cells are called | tracheae |
| Fungi are classified into how many phyla? and what is it based on? | 5 and their reproductive/sexual structures |
| A type of horizontal gene transfer in prokaryotes, in which a cell receives bacterial DNA from a bacteriophage is called? | Transduction |
| What is true for a gram-positive and not a gram-negative? | Its cell wall is made of a thick layer of peptidoglycan. |
| In angiosperm, double fertilization results in what? | In a diploid zygote and triploid endosperm. |
| Concentrated sensory organs and brain at the head end of an animal? | Cephilization |
| Flowers and fruits are unique to? | Angiosperms |
| The embryonic germ layer of tissue in animals that develops into the digestive tract, and organs derived from the digestive tract is the? | Endoderm |
| In mammals, the contraction of the muscular _____ expands the chest, pulling air into the lungs. | Diaphragm |
| What are the largest vessels of the circulatory system that carry blood away from the heart? | Arteries |
| What is the relative thickness of vessel walls from greatest to least? | artery, vein, capillary. (true) |
| The central dogma in biology refers to? | the flow of genetic information in cells, from a gene squence in DNA to a specific protein. |
| The process used by cells to convert mRNA "message" into a sequence of amino acids is? | translation |
| In eurkaryotic cells, if you compared the DNA sequence with the sequence of the processed mRNA that was transcribed from the gene you would find what? | the mRNA is shorter because it does not contain introns. |
| Mating and horse and a donkey produces a mule, which is always sterile. This is an example of which reproductive barrier? | postzygotic |
| The North American bison was hunted to near extinction. It has recovered but with less genetic diversity. This is an example of? | The bottleneck effect |
| What has a backbone and 2 chambered hearts? | a fish |
| What is a lichen made up of? | A fungus and either a green algae or cyanobacteria. |
| The observation that most aquatic vertebrates have streamlined bodies and fins or flippers for steering are a result of what? | convergent evolution. |
| At Hardy-Weinberg Equillibruim | allele frequencies remain constant from one generation to the next and therefore evolution does not occur. |
| The idea that evolution proceeds with long periods of stasis with relativly brief bursts of fast evolutionary change is called? | punctuated equilibrium. |
