Transcript Slide 1

ethnicity
• relating to or characteristic of a human group
having racial, religious, linguistic, and certain
other traits in common
• DNA (deoxyribonucleic
acid)
• encodes information
through the order of
sequence of nucleotides
along each strand
• gene
• segment of DNA
molecules
phenotype
• "the form that is
shown"; it is the
outward, physical
appearance of a
particular trait
• genotype
• The genetic makeup of
an organism as
distinguished from its
physical characteristics.
dominant
• the allele that expresses
itself at the expense of
an alternate allele; the
phenotype that is
expressed in the
F1 generation from the
cross of two pure lines
• recessive
• an allele whose
expression is
suppressed in the
presence of a dominant
allele; the phenotype
that disappears in the
F1 generation from the
cross of two pure lines
and reappears in the
F2 generation
• dot plots
• a statistical chart
consisting of group of
data points plotted on a
simple scale.
histograms
• A graph using rectangle
bases on horizontal axis
that have heights
corresponding to the
measurements.
• box plots
• a graphic
representation of a
distribution by a
rectangle, the ends of
which mark the
maximum and
minimum values, and in
which the median and
first and third quartiles
are marked by lines
parallel to the ends.
correlation
• the degree to
which two or more
attributes or
measurements on the
same group of elements
show a tendency to
vary together.
• causation
• anything that produces
an effect
appropriate quantities
• chain reaction
• one nuclear reaction
causes an average of
one or more nuclear
reactions.
• nucleus
• Positively charged mass
in center of atom,
contains neutrons and
protons.
nuclear fission
• nuclear reaction in
which a nucleus splits
into two smaller parts
often creating a large
output of energy.
• nuclear fusion
• nuclear reaction in
which two or more
atomic nuclei join
together or “fuse” to
create one heavier
nuclei.
• radiation
• the complete process in
which energy is emitted
by one body, through a
medium or space, and
absorbed by another
body.
collateral damage
• destruction to objects
that are not intended in
the initial target.
• unconditional
surrender
• No guarantees to the
party who is admitting
defeat
• civil rights
• rights to personal
liberty established by
the 13th and 14th
Amendments to the
U.S. constitution and
certain Congressional
acts, especially as
applied to an individual
or a minority group.
• sit-in
• a form of
demonstration used by
African Americans to
protest discrimination
in which the protesters
sit down in a segregated
business and refuse to
leave until they are
served
affirmative action
• a policy that seeks to
correct the effects of
past discrimination by
favoring the groups who
were previously
disadvantaged
• civil disobedience
• the citizens stopped
following the
segregation laws and
protested for equal
rights
integration
• Process of ending
segregation by allowing
all races to participate
in all activities
• segregation
• the practice or policy of
creating separate
facilities within the
same society for the use
of a minority group
• boycott
• To stop buying
something to show a
protest
proton
• a positively charged
particle with mass
similar to a neutron
found in the nucleus of
an atom
neutron
• particle having no
charge with a mass
similar to a proton
found in the nucleus of
an atom
• electron
• a negatively charged
particle with little mass
found in an orbit
around the nucleus
• electron cloud
• the group of electrons
revolving around the
nucleus of an atom
atomic number
• the number of positive
charges or protons in
the nucleus of an atom
of a given element, and
therefore also the
number of electrons
• atomic mass
• The mass of a given
atom or molecule,
expressed in atomic
mass units.
mass number
• The total number of
protons and neutrons in
the nucleus of an atom.
• devastation
• to destroy or leave in
ruins
occupation
• control of a country by
a foreign military power
annex
• an addition that
extends a main building
• anti-Semitism
• discrimination or
prejudice against the
Jewish people
• edict
• command by an
authority which
oppresses a certain
group of people
• persecution
• to oppress, harass, or
treat unfairly due to
religion, race, or a
certain belief
• Typhus
• an infectious disease,
usually transmitted by
lice or fleas, that causes
fever, skin rash, and
severe headaches
internment camp
• a prison like compound
used for prisoners of
war
• appeasement
• practice of giving in to
an aggressor nation's
demands in order to
keep peace
genocide
• Systematic killing of a
racial or cultural group
• liberators
• Soldiers who freed the
prisoners of internment
camps
