1. Define gene expression.
- Gene expression is the process where information from DNA directs the synthesis of proteins or non-
protein RNAs that function in cellular processes.
2. What are ionic bonds?
- Ionic bonds form when atoms transfer electrons, resulting in ions with opposite charges that attract
each other.
3. Describe emergent properties.
- Emergent properties are characteristics of complex systems that arise from interactions among their
components, rather than being present in the individual parts alone.
4. Explain natural selection.
, - Natural selection is the evolutionary process where organisms with advantageous traits tend to
survive and reproduce more successfully, passing on those traits to offspring.
5. Define electronegativity.
- Electronegativity measures an atom's ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond.
6. What is a polar covalent bond?
- A polar covalent bond occurs between atoms with different electronegativities, causing one atom to
be slightly negative and the other slightly positive.
7. Define anion.
- An anion is a negatively charged ion formed when an atom gains electrons.
8. Define cation.
