What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

Anaerobic respiration is a type of respiration that occurs without oxygen, typically in prokaryotic organisms, resulting in the production of energy through fermentation.

Front

What are prokaryotes?

Back

Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, such as bacteria.

Front

What are vestigial structures?

Back

Vestigial structures are anatomical features that have lost most or all of their original function through the course of evolution, such as the human appendix.

Front

What are analogous structures?

Back

Analogous structures are body parts in different species that have similar functions but evolved independently, such as the wings of birds and insects.

Front

What are homologous structures?

Back

Homologous structures are body parts in different species that share a common ancestry, even if their functions differ, such as the forelimbs of humans and whales.

Front

What is incomplete dominance?

Back

Incomplete dominance is a genetic situation in which one allele does not completely dominate another allele, resulting in a phenotype that is a blend of the two.

Front

What is heterozygous?

Back

Heterozygous refers to having two different alleles for a particular gene, such as one dominant and one recessive allele.

Front

What is homozygous?

Back

Homozygous refers to having two identical alleles for a particular gene, either both dominant or both recessive.

Front

What is secondary succession?

Back

Secondary succession is the process of ecological recovery that occurs in an area where a disturbance has destroyed a community but left the soil intact.

Front

What is the role of soil in secondary succession?

Back

Soil provides the necessary nutrients and environment for new plant growth, allowing ecosystems to recover after disturbances.
