Freshman Biology Final Exam Review with complete
solution
Adaptation
The process of becoming adapted to an environment
Allele
One of the alternative forms of a gene that govens a characteristic
Anaphase
A phase in mitosis and meiosis in which chromosomes seperate
Autosome
Any chromosome that is not a sex chromosome
Cell Cycle
A repeating set of events in the life of a cell including interphase and cell division
Chromatids
One of two strands of a chromosme that becomes visable during meiosis or mitosis
Codominant Traits
A condition in which two both alleles are fully expressed
Coevolution
The evolution of two or more species due to mutual influence, often to make a
relationship more mutually beneficial
Community
A group of various species that live in the same habitat and interact with each other
Competiton
The struggle between individuals or different populations for a limited resource
Convergent Evolution
The process by which unrelated species become more similar as the adapt to the same
kind of environment
Crossing Over
The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis;
can result in genetic recombination
Cytokinesis
The division of cytoplasm in a cell; follows the division of the cell's nucleus by mitosis of
meiosis
Diploid
A cell that contains two haploid cells
Divergent Evolution
The procee by which two or more related but reproductively isolate populations become
more similar
DNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid; the material that contains the information that determines
inherited characteristics
Dormancy
a state in which seeds, spores, bulbs, and other reproductive organs stop growth and
development and reduce their metabolism, especially respiration
Ecology
