QuestionAnswer
Cloning (3) -Foster mom not related to offspring -1 parents DNA -Fixed gender
How many blood types are there? 4
What % of blood is RH+? RH-? 85%;15%
Where do you get mitochondria DNA? mother
Where are sex-linked genes located? x/y chromosomes
Hooke named cells cells- cork
Brown nucleus
Schwann All animals are made of cells
Schlieden All plants are made of cells
Virchyon All living things are made of cells
Cell limits to growth surface area to volume ratio; DNA overload
Scientific Method Hypothesis Experiment Data Conclusion Replicated Theory
Cell Theory 1. All living things are made up of cells. 2. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things. 3. New cells are produced from existing cells.
Sexual Reproduction Cells from 2 parents unite to form the first cell of a new organism.
Asexual Reproduction A single organism produces offspring identical to itself.
Niche The range of physical and biological conditions in which a species lives and the way the species obtains what it needs to survive and reproduce.
Allele One of a number of different forms of a gene.
Classification The organization of living and fossil species into larger groups that have biological meaning.
KPCOFGS Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species
Directional Selection Individuals at one end of a distribution curve have higher fitness than individuals in the middle or the other end of the curve
Disruptive Selection Individuals at the upper and lower ends of the curve have higher fitness than individuals near the middle of the curve
Binomial Nomenclature Classification system in which each species is assigned a two-part scientific name
Fossil Preserved remains or traces of ancient organisms
Gene Pool All the genes, including all the different alleles for each gene, that are present in a population at any one time
Gel Electrophoresis Procedure used to separate and analyze DNA fragments
Genotype Genetic makeup of an organism
Meiosis Process in which the number of chromosomes gets cut in half
Mitosis Part of the eukaryote cell division during which the cell nucleus divides
Vacuoles Store materials like water, salts, proteins, and carbs
Lysosomes Break down lipids, carbs, and proteins into small molecules that can be used by the rest of the cell. Also break down organelles that have outlives their usefullness.
Cytoskeleton Helps the cell maintain its shape and is involved in movement
Centrioles Help organize cell division... not found in plant cells
Ribosomes Where proteins are assembled
Endoplasmic Reticulum Lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled, along with proteins and other materials that are exported from the cell
Golgi Apparatus Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials from the endoplasmic reticulum for storage in the cell or release outside the cell
Chloroplasts Capture the energy from sunlight and convert it into food that contains chemical energy in a photosynthesis
Mitochondria Convert the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use
Cell Wall Strong supporting layer around the membrane
Lipid Bilayer Gives the cell membrane a flexible structure that forms a strong barrier between the cell and its surroundings
Cell Membrane Regulates what enters and leaves the cell and protects and supports the cell
Punnett Square diagram that can be used to predict the genotype and phenotype combination of a genetic cross
Relative Dating Method of determining the age of a fossil by comparing its placement with that of fossils in other rock layers
this...is...so...NOT FUN. >.<
Selective Breeding Method of breeding that allows only those organisms with desired characteristics to produce the next generation
Stabilizing Selection Form of natural selection in which individuals near the center of a distribution curve have higher fitness than individuals at either end of the curve.
Speciation Formation of new species
Trophic Level Each step in a food chain or food web
Phenotype Physical characteristics of an organism
Transgenic Organism that contains genes from other organisms
Darwin Developed theory of evolution
Theory of Evolution Explains how modern organisms evolved over long periods of time through descent from common ancestors.
Hutton and Lyells conclusion Earth is extremely old and that the processes that changed Earth in the past are the same processes the operate in the present
Hutton Connections between a number of geological processes and geological features that seemed to be bent or folded. Also proposed that forces beneath Earth's surface can push rock layers upward, tilting or twisting them in the process.
Lyell Laws of nature are constant over time and that scientists must explain past events in terms of processes they can observe in the present.
Lamarck Suggested that organisms could change during their lifetime by selectively using or not using various parts of their bodies & also that individuals could pass these acquired traits on to their offspring, enabling species to change over time.
Malthus Predicts that left unchecked, the human population will grow beyond the space and good needed to sustain it.
Natural Selection The process by which organisms with variations most suited to their local environment survive and leave more offspring.
Hardy-Weinberg Principle States that allele frequencies in a population should remain constant unless one of more factors cause those frequencies to change.
Characteristics of Living Things -CO2 intake -Breathing -Reproduction -Response to stimuli -Made of cells -Obtain and use materials and energy -Growth and Development -Maintain a stable internal environment -Evolution
Prophase The chromatin condenses into chromosomes. the centrioles separate, and a spindle begins to form. The nuclear envelope breaks down.
Metaphase The chromosomes line up across the center of the cell. Each chromosome is connected to spindle fibers at its centromere.
Anaphase The sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes and are moved apart.
Order of Mitosis Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase
Telophase The chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell and lose their distinct shapes. Two new nuclear envelopes will form.
Cytokinesis The Cytoplasm pinches in half. Each daughter cell has an identical set of duplicate chromosomes.
Interphase The cell grows and replicated its DNA and centrioles.

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.
