Meiosis
________ is a type of cell division that produces gametes (sex cells)
Independent Assortment
________- the allele a gamete receives for one gene does not influence the allele received for another gene.
Mucus
________ in the nose and throat traps pathogens, then cilia push trapped pathogens away from the lungs.
Molecular evidence
________ can be seen in similarities when comparing DNA.
Natural selection
________ favored those with the optimal beaks for their food.
foreign substance
Any ________ that can stimulate an immune response, often located on the outer surfaces of bacteria, viruses, or parasites.
Galapagos finches
________ had different adaptations that better fit the needs of different areas.
mRNA molecule
The ________ is then transported out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm, where it is translated by the ribosomes.
immune system
The ________ releases chemicals to increase body temp.
Deactivate
________ or kill any foreign substance or cell that enters the body.
phagocytes
Many are ________ that engulf and destroy bacteria.
T
________ lymphocytes (________ cells) are produced in bone marrow but mature in the thymus.
Lymphocytes
________ are the main working cells of the immune response (B and T)
tRNA molecule
Once the ________ has bound to the amino acid, it can then transport it to the ribosome, where it is added to the growing protein chain.
Heredity
________- Offspring must tend to resemble their parents (Mendelian inheritance)
rRNA molecule
The ________ helps to catalyze the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids, which is a crucial step in the process of protein synthesis.
Reproduction
________- Entities must reproduce to form a new generation.
B
________ lymphocytes (________ cells) are produced and mature in red bone marrow.
Physical Variation
________- Characteristics of members in the population must differ.
genetic material
Crossing Over- ________ is swapped between two chromosomes.
amino acids
It is responsible for carrying ________ to the ribosomes, where they are assembled into a protein chain.
ribosome
It is a component of the ________, which is the cellular machinery responsible for assembling proteins.
Transfer RNA
________ (tRNA) is another type of RNA that plays a critical role in protein synthesis.
immune system remembers specific invaders
The ________, allowing a quicker and more effective attack for repeated pathogens.
Mendelian genetics
________ laid the foundation for modern genetics.
recessive allele
An individual must inherit two copies of a(n) ________ in order to express a particular trait.
Higher body temp
________ also speeds up parts of the immune response.
Population Variation
________- The fitness of organisms must differ.
immune cells
Antibodies tag antigens for destruction by ________.
Specific immune defenses
________ are triggered by antigens.
Meiosis
________ occurs in the gonads (ovaries and testes) of sexually reproducing organisms.
tRNA molecule
The ________ has a specific sequence of nucleotides that allows it to recognize and bind to a specific amino acid.
mRNA molecule
The ________ is synthesized during the process of transcription, where a section of DNA is copied into RNA by the enzyme RNA polymerase.
Father of Genetics
Gregor Mendel
Crossing Over
genetic material is swapped between two chromosomes
Independent Assortment
the allele a gamete receives for one gene does not influence the allele received for another gene
