to a crime scene examination
question, background, hypothesis, procedure, analyze data, conclusion - answer the
steps to experimental design are
Independent variable - answer variable in the experiment that is changed
Dependent variable - answer reacts to the other IV
control variable - answer variable that remains the same throughout the experiment
control group - answer group that the IV is not applied to
forensics - answer application of science knowledge to questions of civil and criminal
law
Biomedical Science - answerapplication of principles of natural science to clinical
medicine
tented arch, whorl, and loop - answerthe 3 main fingerprint patterns
circular - answerwhat were the blood stains around annas dead body like
DNA - answera double helix structure responsible for inherited traits
nucleotide - answerphosphate-deoxyribose sugar- nucleic acid
adenine and guanine - answerpurine bases
Thymine and Cytosine - answerpyramidine bases
the base pairs are in different patterns and different final structure of proteins -
answerhow does dna differ from person to person?
RFLPs move from negative to positive because DNA is negative and opposites attract -
answerWhich direction do RFLPs move and why
The smallest RFPLs move the farthest because they are able to travel faster through
the gel - answerWhich RFPLs move the farthest and why
,saving lives, discovering hereditary illness, providing legal evidence and easing the
stress of the unknown - answerAutopsies are performed in which 4 circumstances
medical examiner or coroner - answerWhich medical professional perform autopsies
Urinary System - answerkidney, ureters, urethra, bladder
eliminates wastes from the body and regulates water balance of blood
Nervous System - answerbrain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, sense organs
processes information and responds to internal and external changes
Endocrine System - answerPancreas, Thymus, Thyroid, Pituitary, Pineal gland, Adrenal
gland, Ovaries/Testes
regulates processes such as growth, reproduction, and metabolism
Digestive System - answerTeeth/tongue, salivary glands, pharnyx, esophagus,
stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, liver, gallbladder
breaks down food and nutrients
Cardiovascular System - answerHeart, vessels, blood
assists with gas exchange, keeps blood supplied with oxygen and removes carbon
dioxide
Immune System - answerSpleen, Thymus, Lymph nodes, tonsils
filters fluid in body, mounts attack against foreign substances in the body
natural, accident, homicide, suicide, undetermined - answer5 manners of death
sickle cell anemia - answercondition in which blood is deficient in red blood cell
hemoglobin or total volume
Erythrocyte - answerred blood cell, carry oxygen and get rid of waste throughout the
body
Leucocyte - answerwhite blood cells, destroys foreign invaders
Thrombocyte - answerplatelets , collect at site of an injury to stop bleeding
Plasma - answerfluid that carries nutrients and gets rid of wastes in the body
through simple blood tests - answerHow is sickle cell diagnosed
loss of spleen, higher risk of stroke, shortness of breath, anemia, pain - answerHow
does sickle cell affect daily life?
, medications, hydroxyurea, antibiotics - answertreatments for sickle cell
Transcription - answersynthesis of DNA to RNA in the nucleus
Translation - answersynthesis of RNA to a protein in the cytoplasm
protein synthesis - answerThe DNA code is translated into mRNA through transcription.
mRNA moves into the cytoplasm and into the ribosomes. The mRNA is read in codons
then the tRNA molecules match up the corresponding amino acids to create an amino
acid chain
Hydrophilic - answer"Water loving"; amino acid side chain that are charged or polar,
they are attracted by water molecules
Hydrophobic - answer"Water hating"; amino acid side chains that are electrically neutral
or non-polar, repel away from water
point mutation - answeronly a specific point in the sequence is changed.
frameshift mutation - answera whole codon is changed and the whole sequence is then
shifted over
mitosis - answerreplication of somatic (body) cells
meiosis - answerreplication of gametes (sex) cells
chromosome - answera threadlike structure of nucleic acids and proteins found in the
nucleus of most living cells, containing genes
46 - answerHow many chromosomes are in the human body
23 - answerHow many chromosomes are in human sex cells
genotype - answerthe genetic traits of an organism
phenotype - answerthe physical traits of an organism
track a family's traits/genes - answerHow are pedigrees used to track diseases
seen in every generation, seen in both males and females, carriers are not seen -
answerCharacteristics of a dominant pedigree
if someone even has one dominant allele the trait is shown - answerWhy are there no
carriers in a dominant pedigree
