25
What do you call it when only the ones who can adapt will survive and failure to change will lead to extinction
Survival of the Fittest
26
Helps in separating a double stranded DNA into single strands
Helicase or RNA polymerase
26
Nucleotide bases with two pairings/rings
Purines
27
The first step in DNA replication
Unwinding/Unzipping of DNA strands with the help of Helicase allowing each strand to be copied.
28
The 2nd step of DNA replication
Complimentary Base Pairing The pairing of purines
29
What is the pair of Guanine
Cytosine
30
What is the pair of Adenine in RNA
Uracil
31
What is the pair of Thymine
Adenine
32
An enzyme that synthesizes small pieces of RNA called primers
Primase
33
Creates new copies of DNA in the form of nucleic acid molecules during Complimentary Base Pairing
DNA Polymerase
34
Repairs damaged DNA and acts as a proofreader during the DNA replication fork progression
Exonuclease
35
An enzyme that acts like a glue which binds the newly made strands together
DNA Ligase
36
The process by which genetic information in DNA is transferred to an RNA molecule
Transcription
37
chromosomal abnormality (trisomy 13) which causes cleft lip, low set ears, clenched hands
Patau Syndrome
38
chromosomal abnormality (trisomy 21) delayed mental development, flattened face, and almond shaped eyes that slant up
Down Syndrome
39
Syndrome wherein a female displays male characteristics
Turner Syndrome
40
Syndrome wherein a male displays female characteristics
Klinefelter Syndrome
41
A disease caused by inversion which causes blood having the inability to clot causing nosebleeds, bruises, and heavy menstruation.
Hemophilia
42
A disease caused by deletion causing the eye to look similar to that of a feline
Cats eye syndrome
43
A disease caused by insertion which causes the brain to gradually break down and loss of coordination
Huntington's Disease
44
A type of gland which lacks a duct
Endocrine Gland
45
A type of gland which has a duct
Exocrine Gland
46
A feedback mechanism wherein the response amplifies the changes.
Positive Feedback
47
A feedback mechanism wherein the changes are reversed instead of amplified
Negative Feedback
48
Sex hormone which develops male secondary sex characteristics
Testosterone
49
Sex hormone which develops and maintains female secondary sex hormones and stimulates egg development
Estrogen and Progesterone
50
How long does the menstrual cycle last
28 days
51
Hormone that stimulates the secretion of male sex hormones
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
52
Hormone that stimulates production of sperm in the seminiferous tubes tubules
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
53
The first ever discharge of the blood from the vagina
Menarche
54
The cycle in which the ovaries prepare the female body each month for possible pregnancy which has two distinct phases
The Ovarian Cycle
55
What happens during the Follicular phase of the Ovarian Cycle
In the ovary an egg cell is enclosed inside a follicle. The follicle nourishes it until its mature. The ovum bursts from the follicle and is released into the fallopian tube where it waits to be fertilized.
56
What do you call the process of the ovum bursting out of the follicle and being released into the fallopian tube
Ovulation
57
What happens during the Luteal phase of the Ovarian Cycle
the follicle that bursts turns into a corpus luteum which secrets progesterone and estrogen causing the lining of the uterus to thicken.
