Inheritance Patterns
An organism that has two identical alleles for a trait.
What is homozygous?
The molecule an enzyme acts on is called the ___________.
What is substrate?
In the nucleus when DNA --> mRNA.
What is transcription?
The ability to keep a constant internal environment to survive and reproduce.
What is homeostasis?
What is mitosis?
If T = Tall (dominant) and t = short (recessive), what is the phenotype of Tt?
What is tall?
The region of an enzyme where a substrate binds to.
What is the active site?
The mRNA transcript leaves the nucleus to enter the ______________ where it then goes to the ________________ to complete translation.
What are cytoplasm and ribosome?
The ________________ help absorb water, vitamins, and other nutrients in the digestive system by creating stool to be released.
What are the intestines?
If a genetic mutation occurs in the TP53 gene that regulates the cell cycle, mitosis and apoptosis, which disease is likely to arise?
What is cancer?
What is heterozygous?
What macromolecule are enzymes?
What are proteins?
The building blocks of proteins.
What are amino acids?
__________________ _____________________ are responses to environmental stimuli that help the body return to set points OR cause a response to continue until a stimulus is gone. An example includes thermoregulation.
What are Feedback Mechanisms?
The ________________ and _______________ perform __________________ to create _____________ gametes that can be sued to pass on DNA to offspring during sexual reproduction.
What are: testes; ovaries; meiosis; haploid?
Cross Tt x Tt. What is the probability of having a short offspring?
What is 25%?
Pepsin, an enzyme found in stomach acid works best at a pH of 2.0. If Pepsin enzymes are removed and placed into an environment with a pH of 7.0, their function drastically reduces. This is because Pepsin has ________________.
What is denatured?
The three types of genetic mutations that can affect the sequence of amino acids in a protein include: (1) __________________, (2) _____________________, and (3) ___________________________.
What are: Insertion, Deletion, and Substitution.
Hemoglobin is a blood protein that binds to oxygen to help transport it throughout the body. What system moves this oxygen to organs and tissues in the body that need it?
What is the cardiovascular system or the circulatory system?
During the menstrual cycle, day 14, __________________ releases an _____________ cell into the oviducts so that __________________ can occur to combine genes from both parents. After, ________________ occurs in the uterus.
What are: ovulation; egg; fertilization; implantation?
B = brown eyes and b = blue eyes. If a heterozygous brown eyed individual mates with blue eyed individual, what percentage of their offspring will be blue eyed?
What is 50%?
The shape of a protein is important because. . .
It determines the function of the protein, like what binds to its active site.

Living organisms are organized by structures in their body. Organize the following terms from SMALLEST to LARGEST for full credit.
Tissues, Cells, Organelles, Organs, Body Systems, Organism
What is:
Organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organism
In humans, this assistive reproductive technology can be used to combine a sperm cell and egg cell in a petri dish before implanting it back into the uterus.
What is In Vitro Fertilization or IVF?
