Biotechnology Basics and Applications

What is the practical application of biological concepts used to solve particular problems?

What is used to create products such as different kinds of food products and medicines?

What is one way to solve crime?

What is the process involving manipulating DNA for potential treatment of certain diseases, usually done by replacing the defective gene with a normal gene?

What is a laboratory machine used to assemble short DNA sequences?

What is the process of combining the gene of one organism with the DNA of another organism, often using enzymes?

What is present in the gene and defines many characteristics in the body, leading to an understanding of "Blueprints" of a person?

What is the process of change in the characteristics of an organism over time?

What are the remains of an organism?

What is the process in which minerals in the groundwater are absorbed by the tissue of a dead organism, causing the organism to harden as rock?

What species lived 50,000 to 67,000 years ago, found in Callao cave in Cagayan Valley, based on fossils similar to those of modern humans?

What is a scientist who studies fossils?

What is the process of identifying different organisms in various locations using fossil records?

What compares body structures of different organisms?

What shows similarities in the body structure of different organisms?

What are parts of an organism that have been reduced in size significantly over time?

What refers to closely related organisms that are similar, especially among those with backbones?

What are present on the sides of the throat of some organisms during their embryonic stage?

What is the study of molecular basis of gene expression, used as evidence for evolution, often utilizing the process of molecular biology?

What is the process of comparing proteins by determining the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide?

What is the concept of a molecular clock, introduced by Linus Pauling and Emile Zuckerlandl in the 1960s?

What predicts that the human population will grow faster than the amount of space and food available for survival?

Who is known for "Theory of the inheritance of acquired traits"?

The theory of "Survival of the fittest" is associated with Jean Baptiste Lamarck.

What theory suggests that organisms tend to change to survive, can modify their existing body parts by using them (Use and Disuse), and can pass on modified traits from one generation to the next (Inheritance of acquired traits)?

What is the idea that organisms evolved from a common ancestor?

Who came up with the theory of extinction based on fossils and the explanation of mass extinction?

Who coined the term "Homology", defining it as a comparison of different animals having the same organs but with different forms and functions?
