Disease and Disruption of Homeostasis
The ability of an organism to maintain a stable internal environment.
What is homeostasis
What is a zygote?
This process creates sperm & egg.
What is meiosis.
What is a different form of the same gene?
What is allele?
The two types of feedback loops
What is Positive and Negative Feedback
Disrupts homeostasis
What is disease or illness!
These are called gametes
What are sperm and egg cells?
Four stages in Mitosis. (In Order)
What is Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase?
Reproduction that requires two parents and produces genetically distinct offspring?
What is sexual reproduction.
An INCREASE in one action causes an INCREASE in another
What is Positive Feedback
Three aspects of the body that must be maintained in order to achieve homeostasis.
What is pH, Body Temperature, and Blood Sugar!
The type of reproduction that creates organisms that would have an easier time adjusting to a new environment? Explain.
What is sexual reproduction?
Because there is more genetic variation amongst organisms produced through sexual reproduction since the organism receives genes from both parents.
What are the complementary base pairs?
What is A-T and G-C?
Reproduction that requires only one parent, and lacks genetic diversity.
What is asexual reproduction.
An example of positive and negative feedback
What is Positive Feedback- Childbirth Negative Feedback- Heat in your house, Fever in the body, and Blood Glucose Regulation
If homeostasis is not achieved this occurs...
What is asexual reproduction?
Genotype describes the genes of an organism and __________________ describes the way an organism looks.
What is phenotype
The process of producing genetically identical organisms?
What is cloning?
The condition that an individual that has an extra chromosome 21.
What is Down Syndrome?
An important protein and hormone in the regulation of blood glucose
What is insulin!
The type of reproduction that lacks genetic variation. Explain.
Because offsprings produced through asexual reproduction receive genes only from one parent. Thus, there is no variation amongst the genes.
The full name of DNA.
Deoxyribonucleic Acid
A specific characteristic or feature exhibited by an organism?
What is trait?
Mother has 2 dominant alleles for brown eyes (BB)
Father has 2 recessive alleles for blue eyes (bb)
The percentage the child will have blue eyes...
What is 0%
