29
Q

complement

A

a chemical defense system that works with the immune response and supplements the inflammatory response

30
Q

A

anaphase - centromeres spit and daughter chromosomes begin to seperate

31
Q

synapsis

A

occurs in prophase I of meiosis ; we see the pairing of homologous chromosomes .

32
Q

formation of new species due to geographical isolation

A

allopatric speciation

33
Q

sympatric speciation

A

if speciation occurs after ecological, genetic, or behavioral barriers arise within the same geographical boundary of a single population

34
Q

founder effect

A

a new pop arises because of a single individual or a few individuals causing a change in allele frequency

35
Q

protosomes

A

mollusk, arthropods, annelids; the opening of the first indentation becomes the mouth

36
Q

echinoderms and chordates

A

deutorosomes

37
Q

oncotic pressure vs. hydrostatic pressure

A

oncotic pressure pull fluid into capillary; hydrostatic pressure tends to push fluid out of a capillary
