Cancer Biology
Infection with H. pylori is the strongest known risk factor for gastric cancer, which is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Another example is an infectious agent which is the most important risk factor for cervical cancer. This agent is an STD and is commonly associated with its commonly administered vaccination.
HPV
This operon was the first one discovered. It is involved with the catabolic process of a certain sugar that is quite unpopular with many people.
lac operon
A study found that one in four men wait until which day to do Christmas shopping?
Christmas Eve
This type of bacteria contain special organelles called magnetosomes, which contain either magnetite or greigite (magnetic crystals). Each magnetic crystal is a tiny magnet that has a north pole and a south pole, just like other magnets.
Magnetic bacteria, also called magnetotactic bacteria
This term describes one of the stages of cancer, in which malignant growths are observed at separate points from the original site of cancer.
Metastasis
Mobile element of a bacteria's genome that carries nonessential genes
Plasmid
The ectoderm gives rise to the skin and the nervous system. Cells in the endoderm layer become the linings of the digestive and respiratory system, and form organs such as the liver and pancreas. The mesoderm specifies the development of several cell types, namely these three. (Just name one)
Bone, muscle, and connective tissue
Haloquadratum walsbyi, a species of archaea, creates cells in this shape.
Squares!
The reduction of function of this gene is essential for cancer to begin proliferating. Mutations that affect this gene are often point mutations or small deletions that disrupt the function of the protein that is encoded by this gene.
Tumor Suppressor Gene
The phosphodiester backbones of two complementary nucleic acid molecules orient themselves in an opposite fashion, commonly referred to instead as being this to eachother.
Antiparallel
The crew of NASA's Gemini 6A space flight got into the Christmas spirit and made history when they played this lit christmas song. It is the first song ever played in space (as far as we know.....)
This slimy marine animal has a light organ in the lower part of its body that contains a bioluminescent bacterium called Vibrio fischeri. The light emitted by the bacteria helps to prevent this animal's silhouette from being seen by predators swimming below.
Squid
Peto's paradox has shown that there is no relationship between the incidence of cancer and this second factor. Hint: whale.
The number of cells in an organism.
Bacteria differ from both eukaryotes and archaea in that they lack this protein that is essential to the organization of DNA in the organism's nucleus/nucleoid.
Histones
This Christmas gift, considered the biggest ever given, peers over one of the most iconic cities of the modern-day area.
The Statue of Liberty
Streptococcus mutans, a species of bacteria found in our mouths, is associated with which condition?
Tooth decay
This type of cancer causes uncontrolled production of leukocytes and a subsequent decrease in the production of other blood cells.
Leukemia
The Pribnow Box is where a submit of RNA polymerase binds to during initiation of transcription. It is also the region of DNA that is the first place where base pairs separate during prokaryotic transcription to allow access to the template strand. Its eukaryotic homolog is called this. (hint: it's also a box).
TATA Box
Marsupials!!
Saccharomyces spp., an example of an Ascomycota species (Fungi), is used in the fermentation of this widely popular product. It's especially popular on Sundays.
