Mitosis and Meiosis
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 look alike and carry the same sequence of genes for the same traits and are separated during meiosis.
What are homologous chromosomes?
This is one type of error in meiosis and it will result in abnormal chromosome numbers, such as 3 copies of chromosome 21.
What is non-disjunction?
This is the direct modification of an organism's genome and can be used to give desirable properties to organisms.
What is genetic engineering?
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?
This term means that a cell contains 2 copies of every chromosome (one maternal and one paternal).
What is Dipoid?
This type of cell division actually has 2 divisions. One that cuts the number of chromosomes in half and one that separates sister chromatids.
What is meiosis?
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?
Fertilization in humans occurs in what structure?
What is the Oviduct or Fallopian Tube?
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?
This type of twins come from the same zygote.
What are Identical or Monozygotic?
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 process to produce female gametes begins before birth, is paused until puberty and ends a menopause.
What is Oogenesis?
