BIO MIXED TERMS Flashcards
This is a single-celled organism with two flagella
Protista
This allows each daughter cell to receive an equivalent array of genetic material
mitotic spindle
This is when a piece of DNA is passed from one cell to another
CONJUGATION
Most complex prokaryotes
Cyanobacteria
Survival of the fittest
adaptability
Bacteria found in environment
E.coli
Rearrangement of DNA sequence by the breakage and rejoining of chromosomes
Genetic recombination
Produces the polypeptide hormone insulin
insulin gene
the ability of DNA polymerase to synthesize new strand of DNA
PCR (polymerase chain reaction)
bacteria typically live in animal and human intestines and are shed through stool (Feces)
salmonella
species that live in inhospitable environment
extemophiles
these are parts of archaea
Methanogens
Halophiles
Acidophiles
Thermophiles
Psychrophiles
Process by which nitrogen are taken from its molecular
nitrogen fixation
a complex ciliated protist
vorticella
specialized cells are formed by this process
differentiation
two units of linear measure are most commonly used to describe structures within a cell
micrometer and nanometer
cells are collections of nanomachines has inspired a research field
synthetic biology
certain diseases were caused by pathogens that were even smaller
viruses
pairs of electrons that are shared between pairs of atoms
covalent bonds
an asymmetric distribution of charge or dipole
polar
This is what you call molecules that consist entirely of carbon and hydrogen of atoms
non polar
a negatively charged ion
anion
a positively charged ion
cation
a different arrangement of electrons within an atom can produce a highly reactive species
free radical
