[Survivor39]

Y linkage: the inheritance pattern of genes found only on the Y chromosome.

endoplasmic reticulum- im not sure that it is specifically besides the fact that its something in a cell....im a great bio student lol

 

[BuNdYgAl]

don't worry, i don't know much bio either!
Co-ordination – Various systems in living things working together to function properly.
Effectors – Muscles or Glands
that's about all i know really!!

 

[physician]

Survival of the fittest- umm.. part of Darwin's theory....

 

[physician]

Mitochondria - An organelle responsible for respiration in the cell.

archaeopteryix- evolutionist's use this bird as an argument For Darwin's theory i think they claim its a mixture of a reptile and a bird... something like that..

oh yeh and sorry for jumping back a few posts

Y linkage: the inheritance pattern of genes found only on the Y chromosome.

embryology, comparitive... (comparitive embryology)- goes with comparitive anatomy and fossil evidence... also used as proof for evolution... (not that i agree with evolutoion... because i Don't. i';m just stating things from evolutionists points of view.. and stuff from the text book)

 

[white_spazzy]

maybe ill start back at where we left of....endoplasmic reticuluM

Macrophage- phagocytic cells that remove foreign particles from blood, lymph and connective tissues

Epidemiology - study of occurance of disease in a population

Survival of the fittest- umm.. part of Darwin's theory....

This is actually part of "Social Darwinism", proposed by a Lord Spencer sometime in the 1800s - it's the morally repugnant (well I find it so) belief that the theory of evolution should apply to human society - let the "weak" poor die out and the "strong" rich survive. Darwin himself never used the phrase 'survival of the fittest' - it was coined after he was dead.

yield - a desirable characteristic for cropping plants, often found in polyploid or GM plants.

gee.. i'll have to save this game again...

Yolk - nutrient material which nourishes the developing embryo.

 

[lislabella]

kangaroo... big mammal that has big feet for hopping

 

[white_spazzy]

optimum- the stage at which a reaction occurs best? like pH, substrate concentration etc.

 

[Cab31]

Myelin sheath - the protective fatty outer coating of the axons - also used for insulation.

 

[lislabella]

hyphae - tubular filaments that make up the nutrient absorbing mycelium of most fungi.

 

[Cab31]

Endothermic - maintains relatively stable internal temp, despite changes in external temp.

 

[white_spazzy]

comparative embryology- the study, from conception throught the early stages of development of organisms, to highlight the similarities, differences and relationships.

 

[lislabella]

yellow - from four - seven on the pH scale

 

[xiao1985]

water - essential to all living things on earth

 

[Survivor39]

A new rule has now being introduced! The biological word MUST be related specifically to the HSC syllabus in terms of vocabulary. Water, Kangaroo, etc. are not good enough! , The purposes of this game is to learn and have fun. Personally I don't think you are learning by posting words such as water... (no offence Xiao)

Recombinant DNA techniques: techniques of Molecular genetics, including restriction enzymes, DNA/DNA, DNA/RNA Hybridisation, and DNA/RNA sequencing.

scurvy - a disease caused by a nutritional deficiency of vitamin C
