| Genetics | The scientific study of inheritance. |
| Genotype | The genetic composition of an organism |
| Golgi Apparatus | An organelle found in eukaryotic cells responsible for the final stages of processing proteins for release by the cell |
| Gradualism | An explanation stating that new species arise from the result of slight modifications over time |
| Habitat | An area that provides an organism with its basic needs for survival. |
| Homeostasis | The regulatory process in which an organism regulates its internal environment. |
| Homeostatic Mechanism | A regulatory mechanism that contributes to maintaining a state of equilibrium |
| Homologous Structure | A physical characteristic in different organisms that is similar because it was inherited from a common ancestor |
| Hypothesis | A proposed, scientifically testable explanation for an observed phenomenon |
| Impermeable | Not permitting passage of a substance or substances |
| Incomplete Dominance | two alleles, inherited from the parents, are neither dominant nor recessive - blending of the traits |
| Inheritance | process in which genetic material is passed from parents to offspring |
| Interphase | The longest‐lasting phase of the cell cycle in which a cell performs the majority of its functions |
| Intracellular | Located inside a cell. |
| Isolating Mechanisms | Features of behaviors, morphology, or genetics which serve to prevent mating or breeding |
| Law (Scientific) | explains things but does not describe them; serves as the basis of scientific principles |
| Limiting Factor | Chemical or physical factor that limits the existence, growth, abundance, or distribution of an individual organism |
| Lipids | A group of organic compounds, insoluble in water, store energy |
