Systems
This system is a vital network responsible for delivering oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to tissues and organs, while also removing waste products like carbon dioxide.
Circulatory System
The cell cycle is a four stage process. The fourth stage, sometimes referred to as the M stage refers to this stage.
Mitosis
This amino acid bonds with cytosine in strands of RNA and DNA.
Guanine
When women were asked if they would rather encounter a man or an ursine while alone in the woods, many women chose the ursine.
Bear
His theory of evolution in the late 19th century caused an uproar in many Christian communities.
Charles Darwin
This system is a complex network that is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, and acts as the body's command center, controlling everything from breathing and movement to thought and memory.
Nervous System
This phase in mitosis and meiosis is when [like] chromosome pairs move towards the opposite poles of the spindle apparatus.
Anaphase
This amino acid bonds with thymine in a strand of DNA.
Adenine
Canines can be trained to assist blind and handicapped individuals.
Dogs
This Augustinian friar and scientist became known as the "father of modern genetics."
Gregor Johann Mendel
This system refers to the nerves in skin, which sends messages to the brain telling when skin is hot, cold, or itchy.
Integumentary System
The uncontrolled production of cyclins will most likely result in the formation of this growth.
Tumor
This amino acid bonds with Adenine in a strand of RNA.
Uracil
The Carcharodon Carcharias was the focus of the 1975 Stephen Spielberg film, "Jaws."
Great White Shark
This African American surgeon pioneered methods for long-term storage of blood plasma. He resigned from the Red Cross when they segregated blood based upon race.
Dr. Charles Drew
This system is a group of organs that includes the lungs, nose, mouth, throat, voice box, and diaphragm, which enable the process of exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Respiratory System
The final stage of cell division in which the spindle disappears and the nucleus forms around each set of daughter chromosomes.
Telophase
These two geneticists are credited with the discovery of DNA as a double helix structure in 1953. It won them the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
James Watson and Francis Crick
This largest of the monitor lizards is not a real dragon but is known in the scientific community as veranus komodoensis.
Komodo Dragon
This 91 year-old primatologist still studies chimpanzees in the wild.
Jane Goodall
This system is a complex network of organs responsible for breaking down food into smaller molecules that the body can absorb and use for energy, growth, and repair.
Digestive System
Term used for the final cellular division forming two new cells.
Cytokinesis
DNA, RNA, and amino acids are all involved in this process, where DNA's genetic code is transcribed into RNA, which is then translated into a specific sequence of amino acids that form a protein.
Protein Synthesis
The Gallus Gallus Domesticus is finger licking good when deep fried with eleven herbs and spices.
Chicken
This female primatologist was assassinated in 1985 due to her influence in protecting the mountain gorillas.
