FRESHMAN BIOLOGY FINAL REVIEW
EXAM 2025/2026 UPDATE
GRADED A
Adaptation - ANS >The process of becoming adapted to an environment
Allele - ANS >One of the alternative forms of a gene that govens a
characteristic
Convergent Evolution - ANS >The process by which unrelated species
become more similar as the adapt to the same kind of environment
Crossing Over - ANS >The exchange of genetic material
between homologous chromosomes during meiosis; can result
in genetic recombination
Cytokinesis - ANS >The division of cytoplasm in a cell; follows
the division of the cell's nucleus by mitosis of meiosis
Diploid - ANS >A cell that contains two haploid cells
Divergent Evolution - ANS >The procee by which two or more related but
reproductively isolate populations become more similar
DNA - ANS >Deoxyribonucleic acid; the material that contains
the information that determines inherited characteristics
, Dormancy - ANS >a state in which seeds, spores, bulbs, and other
reproductive orgANS stop growth and development and reduce their
metabolism, especially respiration
Ecology - ANS >The study of the interactions between organisms and the
other living and nonliving components of their environment
Energy Pyramid - ANS >A diagram that shows the amount of energy that
moves from one feeding level to another in a food web
Gamete - ANS >A haploid reproductive celll that unites with another
haploid reproductive cell to form a zaygote
Haploid - ANS >Describes a cell, nucleus or organism that has only one
set of unpaired organisms
Heterozgous - ANS >Describes an individual that has two different
alleles for a single trait
Homolgous Structure - ANS >Anatomical structure in one species that,
compared to other anatomical structures in another species, originates
from a single anatomical structure in a common ancestor of both
species
Homozygous - ANS >Decribes an individual that has identical alleles for a
trait
