What are some biotic examples? species interactions, distribution, and quantity of individual species groups or groups of species, and invasive or keystone species. species richness how many different species are there and a simple count. species evenness takes into account the relative abundance of each species. biodiversity index # of species in an area/ # of individuals in an area Alpha diversity the diversity within a particular area or ecosystem beta diversity a comparison of di...

Allelopathy - -The idea that plants can chemically influence each other -Thomas Chamberlin - -Danger of love, makes it easy to ignore competing facts if too attached to one idea -Frits Wents & James Bonner - -Cal tech scientists came up with allelopathy -Cornelius Muller - -Agreed with allelopathy. Hid results that disagreed with allelopathy, never published data on rabits -Bruce Bartholomew - -Sets up a paper about cows causing zones of no growth and believed allelopathy wasn't tru...

main goal of this chapter - --Explain the "central dogma" of DNA-protein synthesis -Describe the genetic code and how the nucleotide sequence prescribes the amino acid and the protein sequence -The cellular process of _____ generates messenger RNA (mRNA) - -transcription -messenger RNA (mRNA) - -A type of RNA, synthesized from DNA and attached to ribosomes in the cytoplasm; it specifies the primary structure of a protein. -a mobile molecular copy of one or more genes with an alphabet o...

matter - -anything that takes up space and has mass -elements - -any substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances -atom - -the basic smallest unit of a matter that has all the chemical properties of an element -proton - -A positively charged particle that is part of an atom's nucleus. -neutron - -A small particle in the nucleus of the atom, with no electrical charge -electrons - -Negatively charged subatomic particles found in various energy levels (orbital shells...

Promoter B. Genes C. Regulatory gene - -A & B: A promotor and genes -What is a protein produced by a regulatory gene? - -A repressor -For a repressible operon to be trans...

the white allele is recessive - -white flowering plants were not observed in the F1 generation following a cross of true breeding purple and white flowering plants in Mendels monohybrid cross experiment because -dipliod - -human somatic cells are -16 - -given 4 different charateristics assuming independent assortment how many different types of gamestes are possible -on the same chromosome - -if two genes are linked they are -dividing white blood cells - -which cell would be best to ...

Gene expression - -The process by which DNA directs protein synthesis and has two stages - transcription - translation -Transcription - -the synthesis of RNA using information in DNA - produces messenger RNA (mRNA) -Translation - -the synthesis of a polypeptide using information in the mRNA -Ribsosomes - -the sites of translation -Translation in prokaryotes - -translation of mRNA can begin before transcription has finished (coupled) -Transcription in eukaryotes - -transcripti...
