Mitosis
Diploid cells that go through mitosis produce this many daughter cells.
What is 2?
This cellular process is described as being semi-conservative.
What is DNA replication?
This part of the brain controls qualities considered to be the "mind", such as learning, memory, motivation, and emotion.
What is the Cerebrum?
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus is caused by a lack of this hormone being secreted by the pancreas.
What is Insulin?
These are what are controllable by an individual to reduce their risk of developing cancer.
What are what are environmental risk factors?
This is what occurs after chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell and before 2 nuclei are formed and cytokinesis occurs.
Do not use a single word name here. This is a process.
What is sister chromatids separate?
This molecule "translates" the mRNA information into amino acids and carries the amino acids to the ribosome.
What is transfer RNA (tRNA)?
This part of the hindbrain regulates essential physiological processes such as blood pressure, heartbeat, and breathing.
What is the Brainstem or Medulla oblongata?
This hormone is secreted to help our body raise the blood sugar level back to normal when it is too low.
What is Glucagon?
According to our graphing data, this type of cancer is the most common in the US.
What is prostate (or breast) cancer?
This is the division of the cytoplasm to form 2 new daughter cells.
What is cytokinesis?
This nucleotide is not found in DNA.
What is Uracil?
This requires 4 parts - attention, encoding, storage, and retrieval.
What is Learning?
This type of sensory receptor is found in our nose?
What are chemoreceptors or olfactory receptors?
Physical or chemical agents that may cause mutations.
What are mutagens?
Cells must do this to their genome before they can divide.
What is replicate?
This type of mutation can occur when a single nucleotide is removed from DNA and all codons afterwards are affected.
What is a frameshift mutation?
This part of a neuron conducts information and is wrapped in a fatty structure called the Myelin Sheath.
What is an Axon?
This occurs when a sensory receptor is constantly stimulated and decreases the perception of that stimulus. For example, you don't notice the smell of skunk after a few moments of becoming aware of it even though the odor really is still there.
What is sensory adaptation?
Immune system attacks abnormal cells or tumor suppressor genes are turned on.
What are lines of defense against cancer?
This part of the cell cycle occurs between cell divisions and allows the cell to prepare to divide.
What is interphase?
This is the process by which the nucleotide sequence on DNA is converted into a complementary nucleotide sequence of RNA.
What is Transcription?
These have receptors that bind to the hormone to prompt a response.
What are target cells?
What is the lens?
This is caused by uncontrolled cell division because cells don't die and continue to divide.
What is a tumor?
