Q

Give two reasons why cell division is important to animals.

A

1.growth
2.repair

20
Q

Describe the structure and role of chromosomes.

A

-chromisomes are x shapes structures
-chromisomes carry information in the form of gemes. human cells 23 pairs of chromisomes (46 in total)

21
Q

How are cells produced and how many chromisomes does the new cell have compared to the old one

A

cells are produced by cell division have the same number of chromisomes as the origional cell.

22
Q

Name the disease caused by uncontrolled cell division.

A

Cancer

23
Q

what happenes when cells divide out of controll?

A

It forms a moss of abnormal cells called a TUMOUR

24
Q

Describe how stem cells differ from other cell types in the body.

A

stem cells have the ability to become any type of cell

25
Q

Name two processes which require stem cells.

A

1.growth
2.repair

26
Q

Describe one current use of stem cells in medicine.

A

bone marrow transpalant to treat lucemia

27
Q

Describe the role of DNA.

A

DNA controls our characeristics and contains the instructions for our cells to work properly.

28
Q

Everyones DNA is ________ .

A

Unique

29
Q

Give the location where DNA is stored in the cell.

A

DNA is found in the NUCLEUS

30
Q

Describe the structure of DNA.

A

The two parts of DNA are called the back bone and bases(the bases contain the genetic information)

The Bases are used in combination with each other to make genes

Dna looks like a ladder, the bases are the rungs, and the backbone is the uprites

31
Q

Describe the role of genes.

A

Genes are genetic information that is passed from a parent to an offspring which determines the characteristics of the offspring

32
Q

Describe the role of proteins.

A

Proteins enable the cell to preform special functions for example a mucle cell contracting

33
Q

Describe how the DNA is able to fit into the nucleus of a cell.

A

it can package itself into a chromosome

34
Q

Describe the term variation.

A

Variation is the different characteristics and differences between individulas of the same species of animal

35
Q

Why does variation arise ?

A

as a result of genes and environment.

36
Q

Define the terms continuous and discrete variation.

A

Continuous:
has a range of variation for example height
Discrete:
variation that falls into distinct groups for example blood type

37
Q

Describe how offspring inherit features from their parents.

A

-genetic information is passed from parents to offspring

-this genetic information is in the form of genes which contain the instrucions for each characeristic

38
Q

Define the terms allele, dominant and recessive.

A

allele:
The different forms of genes
dominant:
an allele which always shows up in the characteristic of an organism
recessive:
an allele which shows up if there are two recessive alleles present

39
Q

State that every cell has ______ copies of every gene.

A

two

40
Q

Describe how a respirometer measures the rate of respiration.

A

1.measures the uptake of oxygen
2.oxygen is used up in resperation
3.carbon dioxide is released
4.the volume of air in the chamber decreases
5.this makes the die move up the tube

41
Q

Name three factors which affect the rate of respiration.

A

1.oxygen content
2.temperature
3.water content

42
Q

Describe how temperature affects the rate of respiration.

A

the reactants of resperation are controlled by enzymes.
enzymes speed up chemical reactions but can be destroyed by high temperatures.
As the temperature increases the rate of resperation increasesnuntil an optimum temperature and then it decreases

43
Q

when does fermentation occur

A

when oxygen is absent

44
Q

fermentation releases ______ energy compared to _______ __________.

A

fermentation releases LESS energy compared to AEROBIC RESPIRATION.

45
Q

Give the word equation for fermentation in animal cells.

A

sugar ———-> alcahol + carbon dioxide + a litte energy

46
Q

Name the condition caused by a build-up of lactate in the muscles.

A

muscle fatigue
