How many chrosomes do most humans have?

What is the difference between internal and external anatomy?
External: Structures on the outside of an organism’s body that are visible without dissection.
Internal: Structures on the inside of an organism’s body that are visible with dissection.
What are two distinct types of cells?
Prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells
Whose song is Smells Like Teen Spirit?
Nirvana
What is Mr. Scott's favorite lunch menu?
Subway
What are three molecules compose DNA?
Ribose sugar, Nitrogenous base, and Inorganic phosphate group.
Why is learning anatomy important?
1. Helps understand how body parts function
2. Supports medical research and healthcare
3. Shows evolutionary relationships
What are two organelles/structures that are found in plant cells, but not animal cells?
Chloroplasts, cell wall
What does ATP stand for?
Adenosine triphosphate
Which university did Mr.Scott graduate from?
University of British Columbia
What are the names of 4 nucleotides(bases) used in DNA?
adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T).
3 types of muscle. Cardiac muscle, Skeletal muscle, and Digesitve muscle.
Which of the following organelles is responsible for detoxifying harmful substances in liver cells?
A) Golgi apparatus
B) Rough endoplasmic reticulum
C) Peroxisome
D) Lysosome
C) Peroxisome
What element is W(chemical symbol)?
Tungsten
What is Mr. Scott's favorite desert in Mcdonald?
Coffee Affogato (Ice cream)
What is crossing over of homologous chromosomes?
Crossing over is a process that occurs during meiosis (prophase I), where homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material. This results in new combinations of genes in gametes (sperm and egg cells), increasing genetic diversity.
How is frog's circulatory system different compared to human's?
Frogs have 3 chambered heart (2 atriums and 1 ventricle) while humans have 4 chambered heart (2 atriums and ventricles)
What are the three parts of the cell theory?
1. All living things are made of cells.
2. Cells are the basic unit of life.
3. Cells come from cells.
Why did the biologist break up with the physicist?

What is Mr.Scott's paper published in 2012 about?
Performance of wild and domestic strains of diploid and triploid rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in response to environmental challenges.
->Anything close counts
What is the importance of genetic variation in evolution?
1. Natural selection (Variation in Traits)
2. Adaption to changing environments (Survival advantage)
3. Resilience to Disease (Disease Resistance)
What are two main parts of frog's skeleton?
1. Axial Skeleton (Main body support)
2. Appendicular Skeleton (Facilitates its Movement)
What are 5 stages of mitosis?
Prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Why did the DNA break up with the RNA?
Because it found RNA too single-stranded!
