$200A permanent alteration in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene.
$400The basic physical and functional unit of heredity made up of DNA sequences.
$600The Austrian monk who discovered the principles of inheritance through pea plants.
$800The observable physical characteristics of an organism resulting from its genotype.
$1000The building blocks of DNA, consisting of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

$200A rod-shaped bacterium.
$400A kingdom of organisms that includes mushrooms, molds, and yeasts.
$600A unicellular organism that lacks a membrane-bound nucleus.
$800An infectious agent that consists of genetic material enclosed in a protein coat.
$1000The process by which bacteria reproduce by splitting into two identical daughter cells.
Double Jeopardy
Evolution
$400The specific study of the distribution of species across geographic areas over time.
$800The theory that evolutionary change occurs in rapid bursts separated by long periods of stasis.
$1200A scientist associated with the theory of endosymbiosis regarding the origin of eukaryotic organelles.
$1600When a small group breaks off from a larger population to establish a new colony, often leading to rapid evolution.
$2000The term for a reproductive barrier that prevents species from interbreeding before fertilization occurs.
Botany
$400The vascular tissue in plants that transports sugars from source to sink.
$800A plant adapted to growing in extremely dry conditions.
$1200The plant hormone responsible for apical dominance and phototropism.
$1600The male reproductive structure of a flower consisting of an anther and filament.
$2000The phenomenon where a plant's growth response is triggered by a specific period of cold exposure.
Human Anatomy
$400The connective tissue that connects muscle to bone.
$800The specific node known as the heart's natural pacemaker.
$1200The largest part of the brain responsible for higher cognitive functions.
$1600The functional unit of the kidney responsible for filtering blood and forming urine.
$2000The endocrine gland located at the base of the brain, often called the master gland.
Cellular Components
$400The term for the series of membrane folds within the mitochondria.
$800Small protein complexes that are the sites of protein synthesis.
$1200The structural component of plant cell walls that provides rigidity.
$1600The fluid-filled space within the chloroplast where the Calvin cycle takes place.
$2000The cytoskeletal filaments composed of actin, involved in cell movement and contraction.
Genetics
$400The process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA.
$800An organism having two identical alleles for a particular trait.
$1200The technique used to amplify small segments of DNA millions of times.
$1600The phenomenon where a single gene influences multiple unrelated phenotypic traits.
$2000The specific sequences on DNA that do not code for proteins but are removed during RNA splicing.
Microbiology
$400The protein shell that encloses the viral genome.
$800A symbiotic relationship where both organisms benefit.

$1600A heat-resistant, dormant structure formed by some bacteria to survive extreme conditions.
$2000The phase of bacterial growth where the population size remains stable because death rate equals growth rate.
