Chapter 1 study Guide-bio 211

What are the two emergent properties

where do properties of life emerge

at a cellular level

What are some of the things a cell can do

All cells are enclosed by what

a membrane that regulates that passage of materials between the cell and its surroundings and

what does system biology do

models the complex interaction of biological systems

ranges from functioning of the biosphere to the complex molecular machinery of a cell is an example of what

systems biology

correlation of structure and function illustrate a theme of what

cells

living organisms interact with their environment exchanging what

matter and energy

other organisms and physical factors are interacting and apart of what

living organsims envrionments 

the unity of life is based on what

DNA and common genetic code

all cells have what

DNA

The chemical substance of genes is what

DNA

Why type or properties arise in each step upward in the hierarchy of life

Emergent

diversity arises from what

differences in the DNA sequences 

Emergent properties from what

The arrangement and interactions around component parts.

The unity of life is based off what

DNA and a common genetic code

What do all cells have

DNA

What controls the activities of a cell

Genes

What is the unit of inheritance that transmits information from parents to offspring

Genes

How many building blocks are there when it comes to the making of the DNA double helix

Four different types

What is called when the classification of species is put into a system of broader groups

Taxonomy

How many domains can the species of life be divided into

Three

Species living today are descendants of what

Ancestral species in/from descent with modification

What is natural selection

Mechanisms for evolution: the process by which evolution takes place

What do organisms not do

Make themselves evolve

How was natural evolution inferred

By connecting two observations indiquais with heritable traits which are passes on from parents to offspring, a population can produce far more offspring than the environment can support

Those individuals with heritable traits best suited to the environment are more likely to what

To survive and reproduce than less well-suited individuals.

What is a result of unequal reproductive success over many generations

An increaing propertion of individuals will have the advantageous traits

When there is an increased proportion of individuals with advantage traits what is it called

Evolutionary adaptation in population over time

Where is the word science derived from

Latin meaning to know

When is inductive reasoning used

To draw a general conclusion from many observations

When is deductive reasoning used

To come up with was to test a hypothesis

What is a hypothesis

A proposed explanation for a set of observations. Logic start from a general premises than to the specific results.

How is theory different from a hypothesis

Much broader scope, general enough to generate new and many hypothesis that can be tested

What is deductive reasoning

A hypothesis needs to be what

Testable and falsifiable

what is the purpose of a control group

to serve as a baseline for comparison

science seeks natural causes for what

natural phenomena

Why are hypotheses about super natural forces or explanation outs side the bounds of science?

They generate hypothesis that can not be tested
