Section of DNA that codes for a protein

Question 12

Transcription

Answer 12

Process of converting the DNA code into an mRNA message

Question 13

Translation

Answer 13

When mRNA strand leaves nucleus and goes to the ribosome, to be made into a protein

Question 14

Mitosis

Answer 14

Period of cell division in somatic cells. Results in 2 diploid cellls

Question 15

Meiosis

Answer 15

Period of cell division in gametes. Results in 4 haploid cells

Question 16

Cell Membrane

Answer 16

Specialized, semi-permeable barrier that only allows some substances to pass through

Question 17

Passive transport

Answer 17

When molecules move naturally from high to low concentrations, which doesn’t require energy

Question 18

Facilitated diffusion

Answer 18

Form of passive transport. When larger molecules need to be helped across the cell membrane, by channels made of proteins

Question 19

Active transport

Answer 19

When molecules move from low to high concentration, and does require energy

Question 20

Negative feedback loops

Answer 20

Helps the body maintain homeostasis by reducing changes in the body to bring it back into balance

Question 21

Positive feedback loop

Answer 21

Continue to drive the body further from away from it’s typical state
