The process by which RNA is made from DNA:

Which statement represents the biological characteristics that kittens, oak trees, swans, earth worms, elephants and crickets have in common?

Phil is conducting a seed germination experiment. He places 3 groups of lettuce seeds in a 34º Celsius incubator with adequate moisture. One set of seeds is placed in a dark area with no light source. A second set is placed under artificial light and third set of seeds is placed in direct sunlight. This experiment is intended to test Phil's hypothesis that light is necessary for lettuce seed germination.

A gene is:

Experiments are carried out to test a hypothesis by changing one variable at a time and including an unchanged variable termed a(n) _____.

The proposal that one type of organism can change gradually into another type over a long period of time is known as

Decomposers: Photosynthesizing organisms: are any kind of green plant. Green plants make their food by taking sunlight and using the energy to make sugar. The plant uses this sugar, also called glucose to make many things, such as wood, leaves, roots, and bark.

A scientist is testing the effect of light and dark on the behavior of moths by turning a light on and off. The……………………………………………is the amount of light and the moth's reaction is the ………………………

……………………………all of the environments on Earth that support life. These include most regions of land, bodies of water, and the lower atmosphere.

Adenine always pairs with:

This experiment is intended to test Phil's hypothesis that light is necessary for lettuce seed germination. Based on the experimental design, which variable was the dependent variable?

Cells are ________.

Tissue is the basic unit around which an organism is organized

Plants are raised under artificial lights turned off and on by an electric clock. Some are given long periods of light, others short periods. This is an example of:

The ………………………… group is identical to all other items or subjects that you are examining with the exception that it does not receive the treatment or the experimental manipulation that the treatment group receives.

…………………………………is a cluster of small chemical units called atoms held together by chemical bonds

A scientific theory is:

Dr. Ratard was trying to determine the cause of a mysterious epidemic affecting fish in the gulf of New Mexico. His proposal that the deaths were caused by an organism called a protist is considered a(n) _________

You explain to your study group that a hypothesis is:

The sugar found in DNA is:

Before cell division of somatic cells, each chromosome must be replicated. After replication, the resulting two parts of each chromosome are held together by cohesin at the centromere. These two parts are referred to as:

ER function as the digestive system of the cell, serving both to degrade material taken up from outside the cell and to digest obsolete components of the cell itself

Vacuoles are ________.

Suppose a young boy is always tired and fatigued, suffering from a metabolic disease. Which of the following organelles is most likely involved in this disease?

The number of chromosomes in diploid human cells

One difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells is that eukaryotic cells ________ prokaryotic cells.

Unlike the eukaryotic cells of plants and fungi, animal cells do not have a cell wall

M phase : The majority of the cell’s time; normal functions occur.

A somatic cell from a corn plant normally contains 20 chromosomes. How many sister chromatids would that cell contain during G2 of the cell cycle?

Protein Primary structure: Multiple protein chains interact to form larger molecules with more complex functions.

Chloroplast is an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. It has a double membrane, the inner layer being folded inward to form layers (cristae)

During metaphase, the sister chromatids separate and migrate to opposite sides of the cell. Each new nucleus at the end of telophase has the same number and types of chromosomes. In other words, they are genetically identical to each other

Information is transferred from the nucleus to ribosomes via ________.

Telophase is the physical process that finally splits the parent cell into two identical daughter cells. During Telophase , the cell membrane pinches in at the cell equator, forming a cleft called the cleavage furrow

In eukaryotic cells, what name is given to the region between the nucleus and the plasma membrane?

The body’s organ systems have specific physiological roles that maintain homeostasis

During prophase, the genetic material condenses into compact chromosomes, and spindle fibers (which are part of the internal framework of the cell) form from the centrioles to help align the chromosomes

It's likely that a combination of factors, including environmental and genetic factors, causes melanoma. Still, doctors believe exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun and from tanning lamps and beds is the leading cause of Carcinoma

This is the stage of mitosis characterized by the alignment of the chromosomes in a ring along the inner circumference of the cell:

The accommodation of the very long DNA strands that are part of a chromosome into the limited space of the nucleus is achieved by coiling the DNA around beads of histones into repeating subunits. These DNA-wrapped histones are called:

Mutations are changes in the nucleotide sequence of DNA.

Environmental air temperature can fluctuate many degrees during the course of a day. A human's body temperature

Mutations always involve a change in the resulting protein.

Environmental air temperature can fluctuate many degrees during the course of a day. A human's body temperature

Cancer is a disorder in which some cells have lost the ability to control their
