Across
  1. 3. number of trophic levels and the reason/ 4-2nd law of thermodynamics (hint: 8 words)
  2. 4. recessive alleles that cause defective protein
  3. 6. fibrosis/ recessive allele (need two bad copies) to get (hint: 2 words)
  4. 9. behaviors performed reasonably complete form from the first time an animal of an appropriate age encounters the stimulus
  5. 11. raises blood sugar
  6. 12. syndrome/ trisomy of chromosome 21 (hint: 2 words)
  7. 15. polymerase/ enzymes involved in replication that adds complementary nucleotides and proofreads DNA
  8. 17. increases metabolism, constricts blood vessels, increases respiration-Fight or Flight response
  9. 18. Rot growth and germination
  10. 20. promotes uterine lining growth
  11. 24. vs learned behavior/ innate behaviors are largely genetically controlled and exhibit by the species (nature). learned behaviors are gained through experience (nurture). (hint: 4 words)
  12. 25. excites skelatal muscles-neurotransmitter
  13. 27. lowers blood sugar
  14. 29. sachs/ autosomal recessive (hint: 2 words)
  15. 31. progressive mutation
  16. 32. class of enzymes involved in phosphorylation
  17. 34. Acid/ Inhibits growth, seed dormancy, closes stomata (hint: 2 words)
  18. 35. cell anemia/ single nucleotide substitution causes incorrect amino acid in hemoglobin protein (hint: 3 words)
  19. 36. stimulates contraction of uterus
  20. 40. biological rhythms; clock
  21. 41. stem elongation, development of fruit and phototropism
  22. 42. that limit growth of a population/ habitat, food resources, shelter, predation, competition. (hint: 6 words)
Down
  1. 1. promotes food ripening and aging of flowers
  2. 2. colors, patterns and shapes to resemble surrounding
  3. 3. mosquito spread disease caused by protozoa (protista)
  4. 5. a species ressembles another that possesses a warning color (ex coral snake vs king snake or bees, hornets and yellow jackets)
  5. 7. behavior that includes both innate and learned actions-young geese following their mother.
  6. 8. "glues" the nucleotides on the lagging strand during replication
  7. 10. maintains metabolism
  8. 13. loss of response to stimuli if it does not cause consequence (crying wolf-you stop believing what is said because it was never true in the past)
  9. 14. rapid growth in response to sunlight detected when shoot breaks through soil (phytochromes)
  10. 15. muscular dystrophy/ x-linked recessive (hint: 3 words)
  11. 16. molecules that sense and respond to light to control greening and growth
  12. 19. promotes seed germination
  13. 21. primase/ enzyme responsible for transcribing the DNA strand to RNA (hint: 2 words)
  14. 22. and error/ aquire new and appropriate responses to stimuli through experience (hint: 3 words)
  15. 23. sum of a species use of biotic and abiotic resources (think of its habitat as its address and the niche as the profession)
  16. 25. programmed cell death
  17. 26. close interaction between organisms of different species over extended times.
  18. 28. a protein used to keep the helix apart during replication
  19. 30. stimulates milk production
  20. 33. vs K-strategy/ R species maximize reproductive success in uncrowded environments. K species maximize population size operating near the carrying capacity of their environment. (hint: 3 words)
  21. 37. capacity/ K=maximum population size a particular environment can support (hint: 2 words)
  22. 38. unwinds the helix to begin replication
  23. 39. promotes production of ova and sperm
