Diploid cells that go through mitosis produce this many daughter cells.

What is 2?

200

This cellular process is described as being semi-conservative.

What is DNA replication?

200

This part of the brain controls qualities considered to be the "mind", such as learning, memory, motivation, and emotion.

What is the Cerebrum?

200

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus is caused by a lack of this hormone being secreted by the pancreas.

What is Insulin?

200

These are what are controllable by an individual to reduce their risk of developing cancer.

What are what are environmental risk factors?

400

This is what occurs after chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell and before 2 nuclei are formed and cytokinesis occurs.

Do not use a single word name here.  This is a process.

What is sister chromatids separate?

400

This molecule "translates" the mRNA information into amino acids and carries the amino acids to the ribosome.

What is transfer RNA (tRNA)?

400

This part of the hindbrain regulates essential physiological processes such as  blood pressure, heartbeat, and breathing.

What is the Brainstem or Medulla oblongata?

400

This hormone is secreted to help our body raise the blood sugar level back to normal when it is too low.

What is Glucagon?

400

According to our graphing data, this type of cancer is the most common in the US.

What is prostate (or breast) cancer?

600

This is the division of the cytoplasm to form 2 new daughter cells.

What is cytokinesis?

600

This nucleotide is not found in DNA.

What is Uracil?

600

This requires 4 parts - attention, encoding, storage, and retrieval.

What is Learning?

600

This type of sensory receptor is found in our nose?

What are chemoreceptors or olfactory receptors?

600

Physical or chemical agents that may cause mutations.

What are mutagens?

800

Cells must do this to their genome before they can divide.

What is replicate?

800

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?

800

This part of a neuron conducts information and is wrapped in a fatty structure called the Myelin Sheath.

What is an Axon?

800

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?

800

Immune system attacks abnormal cells or tumor suppressor genes are turned on.

What are lines of defense against cancer?

1000

This part of the cell cycle occurs between cell divisions and allows the cell to prepare to divide.

What is interphase?

1000

This is the process by which the nucleotide sequence on DNA is converted into a complementary nucleotide sequence of RNA.

What is Transcription?

1000

These have receptors that bind to the hormone to prompt a response.

What are target cells?

1000
This eye structure bends the light to allow it to converge at the retina.

What is the lens?

1000

This is caused by uncontrolled cell division because cells don't die and continue to divide.

What is a tumor?
