AP Unit 3 Review

Front

What is Autosomal Recessive inheritance?

Back

A mode of inheritance where two copies of an abnormal gene must be present for the disease or trait to develop.

Front

What is the role of glucagon in blood glucose regulation?

Back

Glucagon raises blood glucose levels by stimulating the liver to release glucose.

Front

What is the function of the p53 gene?

Back

The p53 gene codes for a protein that helps regulate the cell cycle and prevents cancer by repairing DNA errors.

Front

During which phase of interphase does DNA replication occur?

Back

S Phase.

Front

What is cell signaling?

Back

The process by which cells communicate with each other to coordinate their functions.

Front

What is the significance of conserved cell signaling pathways?

Back

They indicate evolutionary relationships and common functions among diverse eukaryotic organisms.

Front

What happens to glucagon levels when blood glucose is low?

Back

Glucagon levels increase, stimulating the release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Front

What is the relationship between environmental influences and the p53 gene?

Back

Environmental influences can cause mutations in the p53 gene, potentially leading to cancer.

Front

What is the M Phase in the cell cycle?

Back

The phase where cell division occurs, including mitosis and cytokinesis.

Front

What is the G1 Phase in the cell cycle?

Back

The first phase of interphase where the cell grows and prepares for DNA replication.
