Front 1

Draw a picture of DNA

Back 1

Front 2

What is a nucleotide?

Back 2

A subunit of DNA or RNA made up of a sugar, a phosphate and a base.

Front 3

What makes everyone's DNA unique? (Different from each other?)

Back 3

The order of the bases.

Front 4

In the process of making proteins, what carries the code to tell your cells what amino acids to join together?

Back 4

mRNA

Front 5

What does transfer RNA do?

Back 5

It carries amino acids to the ribosome to make proteins.

Front 6

What is made in the process of replication?

Back 6

DNA

Front 7

Describe DNA

Back 7

Double stranded
Shaped like a twisted ladder
Made of deoxyribose sugar
Has four bases - T, A, G, C

Front 8

In what way is RNA different from DNA?

Back 8

Is single stranded
Has ribose sugar.
Has uracil instead of thymine

Front 9

Which bases pair together?

Back 9

A - T , G - C Except in RNA, A would pair with U

Front 10

Create a complement mRNA strand for the DNA strand shown
TAC GGT CGA

Back 10

AUG CCA GCU

Front 11

How are traits passes from parents to offspring?

Back 11

Through genes - usually in pairs, one from each parent. They can be dominant or recessive.

Front 12

What is meant by the word phenotype?

Back 12

What you physically look like.

Front 13

The gene combination that determines your phenotype is called?

Back 13

Your genotype - there are 3 genotypes, homozygous dominant, heterozygous and homozygous recessive.

Front 14

How could a child get a genetic disorder if neither parent has the disease?

Back 14

If it was caused by recessive alleles and both parents were carriers. The child could inherit a recessive allele from each parent.

Front 15

What do you call this genotype? TT

Back 15

Homozygous dominant

Front 16

What do you call this genotype? Tt

Back 16

Heterozygous

Front 17

What do you call this genotype? tt

Back 17

homozygous recessive

Front 18

Make a punnett square crossing a Yy pea plant with a yy plant. If Yellow is dominant, how many of the offspring will be green? What is the phenotype ratio?

Back 18

2 will be green. The phenotype ratio will be 2:2

Front 19

Make a punnett square crossing a Blue Bb chicken with a Bb chicken. What will be the genotype ratio?

Back 19

1 BB: 2 Bb: 1 bb

Front 20

Traits related to the X or Y chromosome are called?

Back 20

Sex-linked

Front 21

What do you call the picture of the chromosomes shown?

Back 21

a karyotype

Front 22

What are the 4 possible human blood types?

Back 22

A, B. AB and O

Front 23

Define natural selection.

Back 23

Survival of the best adapted organisms

Front 24

What causes evolution?

Back 24

natural selection

Front 25

How do you know if two organisms are in the same species?

Back 25

They can breed together and produce fertile offspring.

Front 26

Define evolution

Back 26

Change in organisms over time

Front 27

What is the function of the digestive system?

Back 27

To obtain nutrients from food

Front 28

What is the function of the respiratory system?

Back 28

To get oxygen to your cells

Front 29

What is the function of the nervous system?

Back 29

To send messages through the body

Front 30

Name the major organs of the digestive system.

Back 30

mouth, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, small intestine.

Front 31

How does genetic variation help a species survive?

Back 31

By increasing chances of survival through diversity.

Front 32

Due to misuse and overuse of antibiotics, bacteria are becoming resistant to many common antibiotics. (This means they are no longer being killed by the antibiotics.) What would this be an example of?

Back 32

The bacteria are evolving

Front 33

If you remove the sparrowhawk from this food chain, what will happen to the blue bird population?

Back 33

It will increase

Front 34

Who is the producer in the food chain?

Back 34

The Holly

Front 35

Is the producer an autotroph, heterotroph, consumer, decomposer, carnivore, herbivore or omnivore. Why?

Back 35

It is an autotroph because it can photosynthesis and make its own food.

Front 36

Is the leaf minor an autotroph, heterotroph, consumer, decomposer, carnivore, herbivore or omnivore? Why?

Back 36

It is a first level consumer because it is eating a producer. It is a heterotroph because it has to consume its food. It is a herbivore because it is not eating meat.

Front 37

Give an example of an omnivore.

Back 37

A dog. It eats both meat and plants.

Front 38

Who is the Father of Genetics?

Back 38

Gregor Mendel

Front 39

Who developed the Theory of Evolution?

Back 39

Charles Darwin

Front 40

Who discovered the shape of DNA?

Back 40

Watson & Crick

Front 41

Who developed binomial nomenclature?

Back 41

Carolus Linnaeus

Front 42

What are the 3 major biomes that cover the united states? Which one is Michigan in?

Back 42

Temperate Forest, Grassland and Desert. Michigan is in a Temperate Forest.

Front 43

What is the primary source of energy for a food chain?

Back 43

The sun

Front 44

What is a biotic factor? Give some examples.

Back 44

Any living thing in an organism's habitat that has an impact on is life. Plant life, predators, food sources.

Front 45

What is an abiotic factor? Give some examples.

Back 45

Any non-living thing in an organism's habitat that has an impact on its life. Water, temperature, sunlight, humidity, wind, rocks, minerals.
