Georgia Biology Milestones EOC Review

Front

What is antibiotic resistance in bacteria?

Back

Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria develop adaptations that enable them to survive in the presence of antibiotics, making the antibiotics less effective.

Front

What is a potential benefit of cloning endangered species?

Back

Cloning can help increase populations of endangered species, aiding in their conservation.

Front

What is DNA fingerprinting?

Back

DNA fingerprinting is a form of biotechnology used in forensics to identify individuals based on their unique DNA patterns.

Front

What distinguishes bacteria from archaea?

Back

The composition of the cell wall is a key feature that distinguishes bacteria from archaea.

Front

Where will a beneficial DNA mutation be found over time?

Back

A beneficial DNA mutation will be found in the organism only, not necessarily in its offspring.

Front

What is genetic engineering?

Back

Genetic engineering is the direct manipulation of an organism's genes using biotechnology.

Front

What is selective breeding?

Back

Selective breeding is the process of breeding plants and animals for specific genetic traits.

Front

What role do enzymes play in digestion?

Back

Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions, including the breakdown of food during digestion.

Front

What is the significance of a true nucleus in cells?

Back

A true nucleus, found in eukaryotic cells, contains the cell's genetic material and is surrounded by a nuclear membrane.

Front

How do mutations occur?

Back

Mutations occur due to changes in the DNA sequence, which can be caused by environmental factors or errors during DNA replication.
