double stranded dna molecule. The bases are matched and edited to match their partner. Each strand acts as a main component for the replication What is the importance of replication? Why do cells replicate their DNA before dividing? They replace their data so the could get rid of the old dna so that the cell may be able to be healthy. Use the clues and words to help you write the vocabulary terms from the chapter in the blanks. You may use a word once or not at all. 3. tip of a chromosome

Lumbriculus variegatus, also known as blackworms, have a dorsal blood vessel that acts as a peristaltic pump— pumping oxygenated blood through the closed circulatory system of the worm from the posterior to the anterior end (Halfmann, et al. p 1). Numerous pulsation waves can be seen moving along the worm and are easily observed as a result of the blackworm’s transparent bodies and noncomplex physiology. Because the blood vessel pulsation rate in blackworms is regulated by the nervous and endocrine

doesn’t require the same strenuous procedure because scientists could buy the eggs from a slaughterhouse or farm who would throw them away for a cheap price. Peter Mombaerts, a scientist at Rockefeller University, experimented with 4,000 mice egg cells, the price of was worth $2,000. He estimates doing the same work on humans could cost at least $2 million (Herper). Allowing both therapeutic and reproductive cloning would be nearly impossible since it’s so expensive the budget wouldn’t be enough

was actually discovered in the 1800s. The molecule now known as DNA was first identified in the 1860s by a Swiss chemist called Johann Friedrich Miescher. Johann set out to research the key components of white blood cells, part of our body’s immune system. The main source of these cells was pus-coated bandages collected from a nearby medical clinic.

unethical. It would be violating the human rights in many ways. Cloning also reduces human dignity. Switching up DNA would change so much to the victim and how it reacts is uncertain. The unique and distinctive ethical issues raised by the use of somatic cell nuclear transfer to create children relate to serious safety concerns and to a set of questions about what it means to be human.(Khan Academy) Since cloning can be very complicated some serious issues can be made. Adding DNA to create clones of humans

response to stimuli, reproduction, growth and development, and maintenance of homeostasis as a stable whole. An organism may either be unicellular (a single cell) or, as in the case of humans, comprise many trillions of cells grouped into specialized tissues and organs. The term multicellular (many cells) describes any organism made up of more than one cell. In this experiment, a microscope is a vital tool in seeing these organisms. Before we do the actual laboratory, we were

Importance of Speech Popol Vuh, written anonymously by Mayans and later translated by Father Ximenez, is a myth on the creation of humans through a process of trial and error. By examining the role of speaking and its relationship to humans in Popul Vuh, we can see that the ability to speak and reason defines humanity. Speech is first introduced as just existing when the world had just begun. Any form of life had not existed except for the sea. Then the myth illustrates the power of speech when

on the exterior surface of a cell and varies with each individual, this spatial arrangement of the glycocalyx on the extra-cellular surface which are exposed sugar groups helps the immune system to decide if a cell is foreign or not, as a result of their unique nature and structure. They act like finger prints recognition test for the cells. If a cell fails the finger print test, it is destroyed. This helps to prevent auto-immune attack and attack of cancerous cell. Phospholipids are lipid
