DNA

Biological species
|
a group of individuals that can produce fertile offspring.
|
|
Anatomical Position
|
The position of the human body, standing erect, with the face directed anteriorly, the upper limbs at the sides and the palms turned anteriorly (supinated), and the feet pointed anteriorly; used as the position of reference in description of site or direction of various structures or parts as established in official anatomical nomenclature. Note: The palms are toward our view and we cannot see the back of the hands.

RR RR RF Rf Rr Rr rF rf Rf Rf Ff ff Rf Rf Ff ff |
|
If you found a fossil with a very large sagittal crest, what would that feature indicate about the animal's mascitory (chewing) apparatus relative to its size.
|
It would be large as well
|
|
The Hardy-Weinberg formula is _______.
|
A mathematical model, a genetic equilibrium model, and assumes that a population is not evolving
|
|
List the conditions that will affect gene frequencies as seein in applications of the Hardy-Weinberg formula
|
Non random mating, mutations, selection, limited population size, "overlapping generations", random genetic drift, gene flow and meiotic drive.
|
|
Binomial
|
This is what Karl Linne did when classifing animals in genus and species
|
|
Why was Karl Linne's classification system so important to modern scientific methodology?
|
Karl Linne was the person who classified all animals in genus and species.
|
|
List taxonomic categories in heirarchical order, beginning with Kingdom and ending with subspecies
|
Kingdom
Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species Sub Species |
|
If DNA sequence is ACTGCCAAGTTCG; What is the mRNA base sequence?
|
First, translate DNA to the other end of the DNA (A to T and C to G)
DNA Sequence: TGACGGTTCAAGC Then translate the new strand of DNA and translate it to mRNA A to U, G to C (vice versa), T to A,) mRNA Sequence ACUGCCAAGUUCG |
|
What is the difference between Anatomical Features and Skeletal elements
|
unknown/cannot find answer
|
|
Dental Formula of human adults? Human Juveniles?
|
Human Adults:
2:1:2:3 Human Juveniles: 2:1:2:3 |
|
What are teeth?
|
Skin Cells that harden in the gum
|
|
Is it possible for scientists to confuse intraspecific variation for interspecific variation? Why or Why not?
|
Intraspecific Variation:
Individual organisms within a species vary morphologically (size, shape, color), physiologically, behaviorally, and demographically Interspecific Variation: different lineages of organisms belonging to different species obviously differ from each other. Coyotes differ from wolves, members of the dog family (Canidae) differ from members of the cat family (Felidae), members of the order Carnivora differ from members of the order Ungulata (hooved mammals), mammals differ from fish, etc Therefore no, because one deals with difference in an individual within the same family (ie: coyotes and wolves, both in do fam) and the other has the difference of families (ie: fish and dogs) |
|
In our study of the scientific method, we found that males were more likely to be unable to life a heavy box then standing in an ungainly position, than women. Why?
|
Because the upper body for men was longer (or farther distance) from women, to lift the box with
|
|
Suture
|
In anatomy, it is a fairly rigid join between two or more hard elements of an animal, with or without significant overlap of the elements.
|
|
T or F:
If a primate's hindlimbs are longer than its forelimbs, it is likely to be a member of the family Hominidae. |
True
|
|
If the phenotypic ratio is 3:1; the genotypic ratio is ________.
|
1:2:1
|
|
How is Modern Human Variation different from Primate Studies
|
one is talking exclusively in humans (modern human variation) versus studying all primates. Modern Human Variation is the differences; phentoypically in humans.
|
|
How would a scientist identify sexual dimorphism in a fossil.
|
A female human, the skull would be smaller than a male, the pelvic bone would be different as well. Usually, the female fossil/bones tend to be smaller than the male
|
|
What are primitive and derived characteristics?
|
Primitive Characteristics:
? Derived Characteristics: Among a given group of organisms, the shared derived characters are generally the less common characters. The evolutionary interpretation is that these characters of organisms are more recently evolved. They are contrasted with primitive characters. Shared derived characters should have the same structure and function. |
|
T or F:
Pentadactyly is a derived characteristic common to primates. |
True
|
|
Distal
|
situated away from the center of the body or the point of attachment
|
|
Pronation
|
put or hold (a hand, foot, or limb) with the palm or sole turned downward
|
|
medial
|
situated near the median plane of the body or midling of an organ
|
|
Recessive Allele
|
rr; opposite of dominant, both parents must have this in order for their child to have the chance of posessing a recessive trait
|
|
Autosome
|
any chromosome that is not a sex chromosome
|
|
Gene Pool
|
in a population, all genes from individuals that make up the population and create offspring. (Smaller gene pool = more chance of disease)
|
|
Phenotype
|
the physical traits in an individual (ie: hair color, skin color, ect.)
|
|
Hitchhiker's Thumb
|
a recessive trait where a thumb can bend far back
|
|
Temporal Muscle
|
A muscle by the temporal bone

|
Coronal
|
of or relating to the crown of the head; of or in the coronal plane.
