Where is mRNA formed?

in the nucleus

Why are the codons important?

When rRNA 'reads" the mRNA, the codon codes for a specific amino acid

What is a blastocysts?

a hollow ball of cells that develops after the morula

In men, urine and semen are carried outside the body through the urethra. T or F

True

Where does mRNA travel from/to?

It travels from the cell's nucleus to the cytopasm.

tRNA

contains 3 base pairs (anti-codon), one amino acid

What is found at the lower end of the uterus

cervix

The basic building blocks of DNA or RNA are ----

nucleotides

Which phase of the menstrual cycle does the endometrium tear away and blood vessels are ruptured?

Flow phase

What are the codons for the protein, Lys

AAA, AAG

Which phase of the menstrual cycle does the oocyte mature into an ovum?

Follicular phase

What happens in the process of RNA processing? (mature/pre-mRNA)

a cap is added; introns removed; poly-A tail is added.

What is rRNA

two subunits of a ribosome

What is semen?

Semen contains fluids, sperm and nurishment

Where is the anit-codon found?

on tRNA

What are the female reproductive glands?

ovaries

Why is the placenta important to a pregnacy?

The placenta allows oxygen, nutrients, drugs and alcohol to be transported to the fetus and removes the waste from the fetus to the mother

What is the tube that connects the ovary to the uterus

oviduct

What process triggers the production of testosterone in the testes?

hypothalamus produces GnRH stimulating the pitutary gland to produce FSH & LH which is release in the blood to the testes.

Where does the baby develop?

uterus

Which phase of the menstrual cycle does the corpus luteum break down?

Luteal phase

UAA codes for which protein?

no protein, stop

an ovum is ...

a mature egg released by the ovary

How does testosterone affect boys?

deepens their voice, broad shoulders, increased muscle mass, body hair; sperm production in testes

Where does fertilization take place?

in the oviduct, near the ovary

If progesterone and estrogen are high, then FSH and LH are

low

A morula is -----

a solid ball of embryonic cells that forms before the blastocyst

What is mRNA?

strands of RNA complementary to DNA

What is the mRNA sequence for a this template strand of DNA: TACG

AUGC

What test is used to test a fetus's DNA?

amniocentesis

Whys is the corpus luteum important for pregnancy?

It produces progesterone, which keeps the endometrium from shedding.

What are codons?

a set of 3 base pairs on mRNA

GCA codes for which protein?

Ala

UCA codes for which protein?

Ser

How does estrogen affect girls?

widen hips, breast formation, egg production in ovaries; menstrual cycle

What part of the male reproductive system maintains sperm temperature?

scrotum

Explain why a pregant woman should not consume drugs or alcohol during pregnancy.

Drugs and alcohol will pass through the placenta/umbilical cord to the fetus. It is very harmful to the fetus.

What is removed from mRNA before it leaves the nucleus?

introns

If progesterone and estrogen are low, then FSH and LH are

high

What is puberty?

growth period during which sexual maturity is reached, by producing offspring

Which phase of the menstrual cycle does ovulation occur?

Luteal phase

Which phase of the menstrual cycle does the endometrium repair itself and stops bleeding?

Flow phase

What is a codon for the comand start?

AUG

What process happens outside the nucleus?

translation

What processes occur in the nucleus?

mRNA processing and transcription

What is the central dogma of biology?

DNA codes for RNA; RNA is responsible for synthesis of proteins
