yay for dat science you gotta feel it in yo brain son like its da fire
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Sexual Reproduction | Reproduction with two organism |
| Gametes | Sexual Reproduction cells |
| Meiosis | Like Mitosis, but with sex cells |
| Mitosis | Cellular division, creates more cells |
| Asexual Reproduction | Reproduction with one organism |
| Fission | Cell division of a prokaryote Where a cell divides itself |
| Budding | New genetically identical organism grows on parent |
| Regeneration | Offspring grows off piece of parent |
| Cloning | Identical cells are produced from one cells, only happens in a lab |
| Heredity | Passing on traits from parent to offspring |
| Punnet Square | Shows all possible genetic outcomes of offspring |
| Gene | Section of a chromosome that has genetic info for one trait |
| Incomplete Dominance | When the offspring's phenotype is a combination of the parents |
| Codomince | When both alleles can be observed, like the roan cow |
| Polygenic Inheritance | Multiple genes determine the phenotype of a trait |
| Nucleotide | A segment of DNA |
| Making a Protein from DNA | Transcription, the DNA splits up, then is copied and carried to a ribosome Translation - the nucleic acids are translated into instruction for the Ribosome to make a protein |
| The Fossil Record | Made up of nearly all fossils discovered on earth |
| Evolution | The theory that organisms and species change over time |
| Things needed for natural selection | Overproduction, leads to genetic variation due to mutation. Then there needs to be selective pressure, something that threatens the organisms chance for survival. Then the strong mutated species passes on their trait. |
| When natural selection leads to evolution | When only the favorable trait is around. (Humans) |
| Virus | Microscopic particle that invades living cells |
| Lytic Cycle | First viruses attach to the cell and inject their DNA. After that, the DNA will start to create more viruses. After a while, the viruses will destroy the cell and escape. |
| Bacterial Structure | Prokaryotic, no nucleus, cell wall with DNA and ribosomes inside. Outside could have pilli, flagella or both, round, rod or spiral |
| Bacterial Reproduction | Through Fission or Conjugation |
| Protist | Anything that scientists can't classified usually is thrown in this group. Eukaryotic, can be multi/uni cellular, most are uni, can be producers, consumers or decomposer |
| Plant like Protists | Producers, multi/uni cellular, can be called algae, classified based on what color they are |
| Animal Like Protists | Consumers, some are parasitic, always unicellular, can also be called protozoans |
| Fungus like protists | decomposers, unicellular, slime mold, water mold |
| Kingdom Porifera | Sea sponges, can't move |
| Phylum Cnidaria | Coral |
| Phylum platyhelmenthes | tapeworms |
| Phylum Nematoda | roundworm, bilateral symmetry |
| Phylum Annelidia | Earth worm, digestive system has two opening, good for soil |
| Phylum Mollusca | Squids, octopi etc |
| Phylum Artrophoda | spider, bugs, exoskeleton, body segments |
| Phylum Echinodermata | Sea stars, sand dollars, radial symmetry |
| Phylum Chordata | vertebrate! |
