New cards

What is dna made up of

nucleotides

2
New cards

a gene is a

specific segment of nucleotides

3
New cards

step 1 of translation

transcription to rna which serves as the template for protein synthesis

4
New cards

natural selection leads to ad…

adaptations!! natural selection, sexual selection, and genetic drift all contribute to biodiversity

5
New cards

how do different species happen

populations geographically isolated from one another evolve differences; less likely to reproduce successfully w/ one another

6
New cards

binomial naming parts

1st part=genus, 2nd part=particular species

7
New cards

adaptations

structural, physiological, or behavioral traits that enhance an organism’s chance of survival and reproduction

8
New cards

genes

specific segments of dna that encode the information the cell uses to build proteins

9
New cards

genome

the complete dna sequence for a particular organism

10
New cards

transcribing

the synthesis of rna using one strand of dna as a template
