What is the process of transgenics?
This is the process by which you introduce a modified gene into a receiving organism that may or may not be from the same species
|
What is the effect of adding Taxol to a cell?
Adding Taxol caps the + ends of the MT and will result in stabilization.
|
The sternum is anterior to the heart. True or False?
True.
|
Is work a state function?
No.
|
Describe what an ebolism is.
It is a clot originating from a larger vessel/tumour and blocked smaller vessel
|
Can you describe the phenomenon where the expression of one gene is affected by the expression of one or more independently inherited genes?
Epistasis
|
What are 3 ways intracellular adhesion can occur?
It can occur through desmosomes, tight junction and adherens junction
|
What cavity is the brain located in?
The cranial cavity
|
Is this statement true: At constant pressure, delta H = delta E + delta PV
Yes.
|
What is Ideomotor Apraxia?
This is when you are unable to make gestures
|
Describe the process of gene imprinting
It involves both histone and DNA methylation without making changes to the genetic sequence
|
Which cytoskeleton elements are polarized?
Both actin filaments and microtubules are polarized, with a + and a - end.
|
8) The two organ systems that regulate and maintain homeostasis are the:
a) cardiovascular and integumentary systems. b) nervous and endocrine systems. c) cardiovascular and respiratory systems. d) respiratory and muscular systems. e) urinary and integumentary systems.
b) Nervous and endocrine systems.
|
The thermodynamic quantity most easily measured in a "coffee cup" calorimeter is delta H. True or false?
True.
|
How do BCI implants affect the movement planning of sensorimotor transformation
It allows for thought to control the environment
|
Can you name the two types of mutations that can occur with mutational analysis?
Somatic and Germinal Mutation
|
What is the structure of cilia?
There is a ring of 9 doublet microtubules, with a core of two independent microtubules. These are anchored at a basal body (that does not have the two core microtubules and has a ring of 9 triplet microtubules).
|
What fills the narrow spaces between cells and tissues, directly affects the proper functioning of cells?
Interstitial Fluid
|
For the reaction, A + B --> C, Ho = +30 kJ; So = +50 J/K.
Therefore is the reaction spontaneous or nonspontaneous?
The reaction is spontaneous
|
Describe a difference between Ideopathic seizures and Symptomatic Seizures?
Symptomatic seizures arise from a specific cause.
|
What is the term to describe how distinct cell lines are derived from different zygotes?
Chimerism
|
What drugs prevent the polymerization of actin? What prevents it from depolymerizing?
Cytochalasins prevent polymerization and phalloidin prevents depolymerization.
|
Which subspecialty of physiology deals with the study of functional changes associated with disease and aging?
Pathophysiology
|
All of the following have a standard heat of formation value of zero at 25oC and 1.0 atm except:
(a) N2(g) (b) Fe(s) (c) Ne(g) (d) H(g) (e) Hg(l)
d) H (g)
|
How are speech zones mapped?
These zones are mapped using lesions or surgical stimulation
