Organismal biology Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

These are the notes used to study for and during the exam for Organismal Biology 1, aka BIOL 112. They include underlined sections that are important or were emphasized during class and other assignments/review sessions.

Animal Diversity, 8e (Hickman) Chapter 1 Science of Zoology and Evolution of Animal Diversity 1) A characteristic of science is that A) it is not explained by natural laws. B) its hypotheses are testable. C) its conclusions are final. D) it is not falsifiable. E) it seeks to define the vitalistic forces of life. Answer: B Section: 01.01 Topic: Principles of Science Learning Objective: 01.01 Explain that science consists in testing, possibly rejecting, and improving our simplest and be...

ploidy indicates the number of complete sets it contains What is the difference between haploid, diploid and polyploid? - haploid (n) the number of distinct types of chromosomes present (ex: humans & fungi) - diploid (2n) are organisms that have two homologs of each chromosome and have two alleles for each gene (ex: humans) - polyploid are organism with three or more sets (ex: plants) How does understanding what homologous pairs of chromosomes are to help us understand how the overal...

Root, stem, leaf, flower, seed, fruit -->Refer to Angiosperms picture downloaded in Desktop Roots -->organ of plants that provide structure, absorb nutrients and water, and help protect against harmful external environments Stem -->A vascular plant organ consisting of an alternating system of nodes and internodes that support the leaves and reproductive structures. Leaf -->a flattened structure of a higher plant, typically green and bladelike, that is attached to a stem directl...
