Hydrophobic substances include la... rge, uncharged particles like fats and oils solvent Correct Answer: A liquid substance capable of dissolving other substances Solute Correct Answer: A substance that is dissolved in a solution. Adhesive Correct Answer: Having the ability to stick to other surfaces. Cohesive Correct Answer: having the ability to stick together Heat of Vaporization Correct Answer: The amount of energy required for the liquid at its boiling point to become a gas Anticodon Correct Answer: Three-base sequence in a transfer RNA molecule base that pairs with a complementary codon in mRNA Central Dogma of Molecular Biology Correct Answer: DNA -> RNA -> Protein This paradigm was formulated by Grancis Crick: First, a portion of the DNA, a gene, is transcribed to produce a complementary strand of RNA; then RNA is translated into protein Codon Correct Answer: A specific sequence of three adjacent bases on a strand of DNA or RNA that provides genetic code information for a particular amino acid DNA Correct Answer: deoxyribonucleic acid, a self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. It is the carrier of genetic information. Dominant Allele Correct Answer: an allele that dominates or masks the presence of another allele and is fully expressed Dominant trait Correct Answer: the trait that is expressed from a dominant allele Recessive allele Correct Answer: the trait that is completely masked and is not expressed Recessive trait Correct Answer: a genetic factor that is blocked by the presence of a dominant factor Epigenetics Correct Answer: the study of environmental influences on gene expression that occur without a DNA change Exons Correct Answer: expressed sequence of DNA; codes for a protein CONTINUES...
