Requires oxygen
Aerobic
When there is not enough oxygen present to produce energy humans do this process which leads to muscle fatigue.

Enzyme
In an experiment, the condition that is tested because it affects the outcome of the experiment. It is “what I am testing”
Independent variable
A single base is either lost or added from a strand of DNA
Frameshift mutation
Cells use this process to produce gametes, sex cells
Meiosis
Cells use this process to produce every cell in your body except for sex cells
Mitosis
Structures with common evolutionary origins
Homologous structures
In an experiment, the condition that results from changes in the other variables. It is the “data” of the experiment.
