Biotech and Protein Synthesis
This discrete hereditary unit is a section of DNA that codes for specific protein.
What is a gene?
This system is responsible for filtering the blood and expelling the waste as a fluid through the urethra
Urinary System
This monomer of carbohydrates are used in the body to generate ATP
What is glucose (monosaccharide)?
The protein on bacterial cell surfaces that causes our immune system to produce antibodies
What is an antigen?
Intricate details of this forensic evidence/biometrics are called minutiae.
what are fingerprints
Genes can be cut with these molecular scissors, and then analyzed using gel electrophoresis.
What are restriction enzymes?
This organ uses 20% of the total blood supply and processes all sensory information from nerves
What is the brain
This monomer of nucleic acid is composed of a sugar, nitrogenous base, and phosphate group.
What is a nucleotide?
This type of bacteria are stained purple due to the thickness of their cell wall.
What are Gram Positive bacteria?
In order to use hair as a DNA sample, this part of the hair must be intact.
What is the root
This is the complementary sequence of DNA for the following sequence of N-bases: ATC GTA
What is TAG CAT?
This organ exchanges oxygen for carbon dioxide with the environment and is directly tied to the cardiovascular system
what are the lungs
Triglycerides and cholesterol are examples of this macronutrient.
What are lipids?
The part of the immune response that is long term and activates helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells and B cells
What is specific (or adaptive) immunity?
refers to the pooling of blood after death
livor mortis
This molecular biological technique amplifies samples of DNA using free N-bases and various heating sequences.
What is polymerase chain reaction (PCR)?
insulin injections are not the course of treatment for this type of diabetes (explain why)
What is Type 2 diabetes (WHY: people with type 2 diabetes have insulin already the problem is that their body is resistant to it and doesn't respond)
These three elements are present in all macronutrients.
What is carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O)?
A person with this blood type can recieve blood from people who have type A, B, O or AB blood
What is Type AB blood, the universal recipient.
Using the temperature of the body to determine the time of death.
What is algor Mortis
This term describes this process
DNA--> RNA--> Protein
(in your answer tell me the name of the term AND explain the different steps involved in going from DNA to RNA to protein)
DNA goes to RNA by the process of transcription, mRNA transcribes DNA in the nucleus so that the message can move to the cytoplasm. In the cytoplasm translation occurs which uses the mRNA code from transcription and tRNA molecules to create a protein.
This is the path of blood through the heart starting from the body into the vena cava.
What is body –> 2) inferior/superior vena cava –> 3) right atrium –> 4) tricuspid valve –> 5) right ventricle –> 6) pulmonary arteries –> 7) lungs –> 8) pulmonary veins –> 9) left atrium –> 10) mitral or bicuspid valve –> 11) left ventricle –> 12) aortic valve –> 13) aorta –> 14) body.
This macromolecule has all of the following functions
-Provide structure
- send chemical signals
- speed up chemical reactions
-protect the body
-involved in transport
What is protein
describe what antigens are on the surface of the RBCs and what antibodies are in the plasm of someone with type A blood.
Type A antigens on the RBC and type B antibodies in the plasm.
Explain the difference between a presumptive test and a confirmatory test.
A presumptive test is one used in criminal investigations which is not conclusive, but is used to screen for the presence of a substance. For example, a presumptive test may be used to determine the presence of blood, seminal fluid, or drugs. The results of a presumptive test will not conclusively prove or disprove the presence of the substance.
Confirmatory tests - are used to conclusively identify a substance or specific biological material.
A positive result from a presumptive test for blood indicates the possibility that blood is present. A positive result from a confirmatory test allows one to conclude that blood is present.
