How do our bodies communicate?
This part of the Nervous System includes the brain and typically is where information is processed.
What is the Central Nervous System (CNS)?
This is the monomer of DNA and RNA molecules and is made up of a pentose sugar, phosphate and a nitrogenous base.
What is a nucleotide?
This type of DNA is found in the genome of Transgenic organisms.
What is recombinant DNA or genetic material from another species?
A fertilized egg (zygote) divides by this process that allows it to grow into a mature adult.
What is mitosis?
This part of the brain is considered to be the link between the Nervous system and the Endocrine system.
What is the hypothalamus?
Endocrine glands secrete these?
What are hormones?
This always pairs with Cytosine.
What is Guanine?
In biotechnology, these single-stranded sequences that are complementary to a known region of DNA are used.
What are DNA Probes?
Two sister chromatids (identical copies of DNA) are held together by this structure after DNA replication.
What is a centromere?
This part of our brain is the "emotional brain".
What is the Limbic System?
This hormone is secreted when blood sugar is HIGH.
What is insulin?
The is the process by which the information on mRNA is converted into the language of amino acids to make a protein.
What is translation?
This molecular tool is like a pair of scissors that can be used to easily edit genetic codes.
What is CRISPR?
This type of tumor can "seed" new tumors throughout the body if it metastasizes.
What is malignant?
This is the translation of a stimulus into electrical signals.
What is transduction?
The role of these is that they are chemicals released at synapses that bind to receptors on the receiving cell.
What are neurotransmitters?
This shows which mRNA codon corresponds to which amino acid.
What is the genetic code?
The process replicates DNA in a test tube to make many, many, many copies of identical DNA.
What is PCR or Polymerase Chain Reaction?
Meiosis produces this many gamete nuclei from one diploid cell.
What is 4?
Smell, taste, vision, hearing and equilibrium are this type of senses.
What are Special Senses?
Chemical and Electrical are two main ways of this.
What is cells talking or communicating
This sequence of mRNA nucleotides is made by transcribing this sequence of DNA: ATG CCC TGC
What is: UAC GGG ACG?
Investigators use PCR and DNA sequencing to detect genetic differences between individuals is this police technique.
What is DNA profiling?
Meiosis introduces genetic variation through this process where homologous chromosomes exchange DNA in Prophase 1.
What is crossing over?
In this type of vision impairment, the eyeball is longer than normal and the light rays focus in front of the retina.
What is nearsigntedness or myopia?
