  • Aristotle was the first to show an overall understanding of systematic taxonomy and was heavily devoted to studies on reproduction, heredity, and descent.
  • The Linnaean hierarchy, from broadest to most specific, is: Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.
  • Epinephrine is not an amino acid.
  • Meiosis is a process that occurs in diploid cells and involves the synapsis of homologous chromosomes.

  • Ribosomes are organelles responsible for the production of mature polypeptides.
  • Glucose is one example of a monosaccharide.
  • Mycology is a branch of biology that studies fungi.
  • Gastrulation is a process in embryo development that results into a multilayered structure giving rise to three distinct germ layers.
  • Plasmodesma are intercellular junctions present in plants that allow cell signaling between adjacent cells.
  • Many eukaryotes have a single circular chromosome while prokaryotes contain numerous linear chromosomes.
  • Physiology is a branch of biology that studies the function of parts of living organisms.
  • Blastula is a hollow sphere of cells.
  • Fragmentation is a type of asexual reproduction derived from a broken off piece of the individual and associated with regeneration.
  • Avian animals are determined to be female if they possess the ZW chromosome pairing.
  • Animalcules are archaic term for single-celled organisms and animals.
  • Nucleolus is the site of ribosomal subunits production and its assembly in eukaryotes.
