protein synthesis occur?
In the ribosomes
Genetics
What is the technology that
produces recombinant DNA?
Genetic engineering
Evolution
Define Evolution.
Evolution is a process of change
that occur in a species over a
period of time
Evolution
Name 2 types of evidence that
support theory of evolution.
•fossils
•similar molecules (like DNA and proteins)
•comparative anatomy (similar structure)
•comparative embryology (similar embryos)
Evolution
What term did Darwin use to
explain evolution?
Natural selection
Evolution
What term describes a body
structure or behavior that helps an
organism to survive in its habitat?
Adaptation
Evolution
Name 2 sources of variations.
• recombining of genes in
meiosis of sexual reproduction
• mutations in gametes
Evolution
What are the four major parts to
Darwin’s theory of natural selection?
• organisms overproduce
• this causes competition
• some variations have an adaptive value
because they give a survival advantage
• the survivors pass on their characteristics
to their offspring and these adaptations
increase in the population
Reproduction and Development
