Star Life Cycle
What is the first stage of a star's life cycle?
What is A Nebula
Which element is primarily formed in a red giant?
What is Helium.
What type of stars are found on the main sequence?
What is Hydrogen-burning stars.
What defines a loop fingerprint pattern?
What is a loop enters on one side, curves, and exits the same side.
What does the codon AUG correspond to?
What is Methionine (Start).
What is the main sequence phase?
What is the stable phase where a star fuses hydrogen into helium
What element is formed from helium fusion?
What is Carbon.
How are “case cards” used in the fingerprinting unit?
What is they match partial fingerprints to suspect profiles.
How can you identify a whorl fingerprint?
What is a whorl has a circular or spiral pattern.
How do you match DNA to its corresponding mRNA?
What is by pairing DNA bases: A to U, T to A, C to G, G to C.
What happens during a supernova?
What is a massive explosion occurs when a star exhausts its nuclear fuel.
How is carbon formed in stars?
What is through the triple-alpha process during helium burning.
Describe the process of stringing beads in the codon to protein activity.
What is students decode mRNA codons and string together beads to represent a protein chain.
What is an arch fingerprint characterized by?
What is an arch rises in the middle like a hill and goes out the other side.
In the context of DNA, what is a trait?
What is a characteristic that results from protein expression.
What is the fate of a massive star?
What is it may become a black hole or a neutron star.
What is the significance of supernovae in element formation?
What is they spread heavy elements throughout the universe.
What is the relationship between temperature and luminosity?
What is hotter stars are more luminous.
Give an example of how to color-code fingerprint patterns.
What is use blue for loops, red for whorls, and yellow for arches.
What is the role of the codon chart in the protein synthesis activity?
What is it helps students decode mRNA sequences to find corresponding amino acids.
How does a neutron star form?
How does a the remnants of a supernova explosion of a massive star.
Name an element produced in a neutron star.
What is Iron.
What is the significance of understanding how DNA codes for proteins?
What is it connects genetic information to physical traits and characteristics.
Why is it important to roll the thumb side to side when fingerprinting?
What is it ensures a clear and complete print is captured.
Explain the connection between DNA and eye color.
What is Specific DNA sequences code for proteins that determine pigment, influencing eye color.
