Q
Adaption types
A
- BEHAVIOURAL - actions that help survive/ reproduce
e. g. burring food - PHYSIOLOGICAL - internal workings help survival/ repo
e. g. tolerating certain environments - Hsalt - ANATOMICAL - structures we can see/ observe
e. g. bees have long toungs

Q
Hardy-Weinberg Equation
A
working out allele frequency
p+q=1 p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1

Q
5 Kingdoms and features
A
- ANIMALIA - multicellular, heterotrophs, no cell wall
- PLANTAE - multicellular, autotrophs, cellulose cell wall
- FUNGI - multicellular, absorb nutrients, cell wall
- PROTOCTISTA - single celled, photosynthesise/ feed on organic matter
- PROKARTOTE - prokaryotic, bacteria
4
Q
3 Domains
A
- Eukaryotes
- Prokaryotes
- Archaea
5
Q
Xylem
A
- transport water + mineral ions (upwards)
- stiffened cell walls - support
- lignified (+ waterproof) - no cytoplasm - dead
- transpiration
6
Q
Phloem
A
- transport organic solutes (up and down) e.g. sugars, aa
- made of sieve tube plates - living
- companion cell - metabolic functions
- translocation
7
Q
Drug Testing
A
- PRE CLINICAL TESTING
- animal/ lab studies
- asses safety and effectiveness - CLINICAL TRIALS - PHASE I
- small healthy volunteer group
- asses effects and safety - CLINICAL TRIALS - PHASE II
- small ill volunteer group
- asses effectiveness - CLINICAL TRIALS - PHASE III
- large group (split - placebo, drug) - double blind
- asses side effects and if affective
