Q3 only Flashcards
Any offspring produced asexually will have
the same genes as the parent
An increase in the amount of insulin will result in
A decrease in the amount of glucose
What gland controls the excretion of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone?
ovary, testes
Parathyroid function
calcium metabolism
Homologous chromosomes
X, paired chromosomes, cross over and exchange genetic info in meiosis, gametes don’t have these
Placenta
Materials are exchanged between maternal and fetal blood, but their blood doesn’t touch
Differentiation
cells become three specific layers to form the embryo
haploid
no homologous chromosomes, gametes, n
diploid
contains homologous chromos, stomatic cells, 2n
antigen
proteins on cells surface with a specific shape
Haploid
n, found in gametes, contains half the number of chromosomes body cells have
diploid
Found in body cells, 2n, 46 chromosomes, homologous
Respiration equation
O2+C6H12O6—enzymes in mitochondria—> ATP+H20+CO2
Oxygen+Glucose—->Energy (ATP)+Water+Carbon Dioxide
Insulin vs Glucagon
Both released by pancreas to maintain blood sugar levels
Insulin is secreted when blood glucose is high and Insulin brings it back down by telling cells to take in sugar
Glucagon is secreted when blood glucose is low and increases it by converting stored glycogen in the liver into glucose
Order of sperm
Testes, epididymis, vas deferens, glands, urethra, penis
Uterus
Where development takes place, embryo emplants inself into the unterine lining
