Biology 200 Exam 1
Evolution - answer The process of change that has transformed life on earth from its
earliest beginnings to the diversity of organisms living today.
biology - answer scientific study of life
emergent properties - answer New properties that arise with each step upward in the
hierarchy of life, owing to the arrangement and interactions of parts as complexity
increases.
Systems biology - answer approach that attempts to model the dynamic behavior of a
whole biological system based on a study of the interactions among the system's parts

habitats all over planet earth
eukaryotic cell - answernucleus bound membrane
DNA - answerdeoxyribonucleic acid
genes - answerunits of inheritance that transmit information from parents to offspring
gene expression - answerinformation in a gene directs the production of a cellular
product
genome - answerentire genetic instructions that an organism inherits
genomics - answerstudy of whole sets of genes of a species as well as comparing
genomes between species
