Which 2 domains are prokayotic? Archaea and Bacteria
Define cladistics procedure used to create an evolutionary tree based on shared derived characteristics
Define clade group of organisms related by evolutionary decent
Define natural selection differential perpetuations of genotypes over time
What two factors must be present for natural selection to occur? 1. MUST have genetic variability among/within organisms 2. MUST have pressure from the environment
Define micro-evolution change in allele frequency
Natural selection is a process by which micro-evolution occurs
Define symbiosis two organisms closely interacting
What are the three types of symbiosis mutualism, commensalism and parasitism
Define mutualism all organisms benefit
Define commensalism one benefits but the other is not effected
Define parasitism one benefits and the other one is hurt
Define endosymbiosis one lives within the other
Characteristics of prokaryotic cells 1. No membrane bound organelles 2. Cell Wall 3. Circular DNA 4. No introns (only coded DNA)

Bacillus rod-shaped bacteria
Coccus sphere-shaped bacteria
Spirillum spiral-shaped bacteria

Define conjugation passing of DNA between two bacterial cells via a pilius
What are the four phases of growth? 1. lag 2. exponential growth 3. stationary growth 4. death
Define hyperosmotic there are more solutes within the cell than solvent outside of the cell; water constantly wants to rush in

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
