What is incomplete dominance?
Definition
Two copies of the dominant allele are reqiored to see full phenotype.  Ex White and red flower make pink

Definition
2
Term
What is x inactivation?

Pp
Term
What is autosomal recessive?
Definition
pp

XD,Y + XD,Xd = Xd, Y
Term
What are the 3 domains of life?
Definition
Bacteria, Archae, and Eukarya
Term
What are the six kingdoms of life?

What is the order of classification?
Definition
Do Kings Play Chess On Funny Green Squares?
Term
What is the endosymbiotic theory?
Definition
Explains evolution of eukaryotes and their specilzed structures.
Term
Know differnces in spores and seeds
Definition

Spores have no embryo and have no protection

A seed has an embryo with a food source, less released

Term
Same about seed and spores
Definition
Protected from environment and contain genetic information
Term
What is ecology?
Definition
Branch of biology dealing with relations and interactions between orgainisms
Term
What is abiotic?
Definition
No life, ex soil
Term
What is biotic?
Definition
Pertaining to life
Term
What is population ecology?
Definition
dynamics of serises population and how they intereact with each of their environments
Term

Definition

Sun

Producers

Primary consumers

Secondary Consumers

Term
What are the causes of exctinctions?
Definition

Conjugatiing - transfer GM between bacteria

Transduction - Transfer genetic info from virus to bacterium

Term
Be able to draw bacterial growth curve
Definition

Lag - bacteria does not divide, adapt to enviro

Log - divide quickly

Stationary - Death and growth rate same

Death - Death pahse bigger than growth

Term
4 major types of bacerial metabolism
Definition

Photoautorophs - need only light energy to synthesize ATP and only need CO2 sd source of carbon in order to synthesize the orgainic compounds

Photoheteroptrophs - must obtain carbon in complex orgainc form. but only use light for ATP

Chemoautotrophs - only need CO2 as carbon source + obtain energy by oxidizing inorganic compounds

Chemoheterotrophs - must obtain complex organic molecues as both source of enerey + as source of carbon.

Soprobes -Obsorb dead materials

Parasite

Study of fungus
Term
What are the steps of the polymerse chain reaction?
Definition

Denatureing

Annealing

Elongation

Term
What does denaturing, annealing, and elongation do?
Definition

DENATURING is heating up breaking the hydrogen bonds.  THis allows the DNA to be in single strands.

ANNEALING is where the primers are attached to the DNA at the beginning and end.

ELONGATION is where the DNA gets copied rapidly, making millions and millions of copies.
