The cause of cell fife triathlon is that different cells

Express alternate genetic information

| *generic embryonic cells become specialized cells, occurs through gene expression

Gene expression

Specific combination of genes that are turned off or on

| Dictates now cells function

Relationship between genes and chromosomes

  • Genes are DNA sequences found in chromosomes

  • Genes are proteins encoded by chromosomes

  • chromosomes are proteins that carry genes made up of DNA

  • chromosomes consist a DNA molecule made up of. Many genes

  • Genes are proteins made around which DNA chromosomes are packaged

Which halogens reacts most readily with metal sodium ?

Chlorine gas

Iodine

Solid
Minerals, forms compounds with element
Thyroid hormone production

Bromine

Liquid
Non metallic element
Heavy , volatile, mobile, dangerous, unpleasant odor,

Chlorine

Gas

| Respiratory irritant antiseptic

Astatine

Solid
Isotope
Radioactive
Most metallic

Gallbladder

Holds bile
Produced in liver u to needed for digestion
Duodenum of small intestine

Leukocytes (WBC)

Cells of immune system involved in protecting body against infectious disease/invaders

Spleen

Filter for body
Part of immune system old RBC
Recycled platelets, and WBC stored
Fight against certain kinds of bacteria


Vestigial organs

Un needed parts 
(5)
Appendix 
Tail bone 
Male nipples
Wisdom teeth

The specific stage of meiosis during which a cells chromosomes number is reduced by 1/2 is ?

Anaphase

Prophage I

Coil
Becomes shorter 
Thicker 
Nucleus disappears
Meiosis spindle forms
Nuclear envelope disappears

Anaphase

*(2) chromosomes separate and move toward opposite poles of the cell as a result of action of spindle

Prophase II

No new chromosome
Replication occurs before meiosis II
Centrioles duplicate
Separate (2) members of the pair 
Nuclear envelope breaks down spindle

Monosaccharides

Simple sugars

| Building blocks for carbs

Fatty acids

Molecules that are long chains of lipid carboxylate acid in fats / oils in cell membrane of phospholipids

Nucleotides

DNA consists of sugar (deoxyribose)
(4) bases
Cystosyine Adenine
Thymine Guanine

Myosin

Contain "heads" that contact actin and pull the actin fibers together in an ATP dependent mechanism that causes muscle to contract

Dyenin

ATP- splitting enzyme essential to modify of cilia/flagella, because of its interactive with microtubules.

Keratin

Fibrous structural proteins

Laminin

Protein that is part of the extra cellular matrix in humans / animals

Phosphorous

Formation of bones/ teeth
Body to make protein for the growth maintenance
Repair of cells, tissues, helps make ATP

Sodium

Body uses to control blood pressure and blood volume.

| Regulate blood glucose levels, aid in the production of energy, protein

Magnesium
