Strategies Review of Key Quizzes




Quiz_________________?

Are fungi capable of asexual or sexual reproduction? -

Answer✅

BOTH




Quiz_________________?

Are peptide hormones water soluble? -

Answer✅

Yes. They dissolve in the blood. The blood carries them to their target tissue.

1

, Are steroids polar or nonpolar? -

Answer✅

Nonpolar.




Quiz_________________?

Are viruses living organisms? -

Answer✅

No




Quiz_________________?

As a protein is translated, where do they go once they're in the ER lumen? -

Answer✅

Enzymes in the rER attach a small sugar complex that specifies where the protein will go.
Proteins are carried via transport vesicles to the golgi for organizes/modifies/concentrates
proteins.




Quiz_________________?

, At the time of birth, at what stage are female eggs at? -

Answer✅

Primary oocyte stage




Quiz_________________?

At what point is the most common for regulation of protein production? Why? -

Answer✅

Transcription

Replication occurs less often and doesn't distinguish between genes.




Quiz_________________?

Basophils: What are they, what % of blood are they? Gran or agran? Lifetime? -

Answer✅

Histamine release

<1%

Gran

A few hrs - few days




Quiz_________________?

By the time the filtrate gets to the loop of Henle, what's it like? -

Answer✅

The osmolarity of the filtrate hasn't changed, but the amount of filtrate has been reduced by
80%, and the consistency of the filtrate has changed.




Quiz_________________?


3

, Can viruses have both DNA and RNA? -

Answer✅

No




Quiz_________________?

Define back mutation. -

Answer✅

The reversion of a mutant to the original phenotype.




Quiz_________________?

Define forward mutation. -

Answer✅

Any mutation which changes a formerly functional wild genotype or phenotype to
nonfunctional




Quiz_________________?

Define lysogenic cycle. -

Answer✅

Viral nucleic acids become incorporated into host genome

Viral genes may remain inactive indefinitely

Viral genes incorporated into daughter cells

Can become activated to be lytic as a result of stress that damages DNA




Quiz_________________?

Define lytic cycle. -
