2026 LATEST UPDATE QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
VERIFIED ANSWERS ALREADY GRADED A+
Turner's Syndrome - ANS-Females only have one X chromosome instead of XX.
Klinefelter's Syndrome - ANS-Males have at least one Y and two or more X chromosomes.
Autosomal Dominant - ANS-Expressed as big D. Examples are breast cancer, marfan syndrome,
polycystic kidney disease, Huntington's Disease, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.
50% recurrence risk for each child.
Autosomal Recessive - ANS-Expressed as small d. Must be homozygous (dd) to express
disease. Examples are CF, tay sachs, PKU, Wilson Disease, hemochromatosis, thalassemias.
Sodium - ANS-Main ECF ion.
Potassium - ANS-Main ICF ion.
Mitochondria - ANS-Organelle that produces ATP.
Ribosomes - ANS-Organelles responsible for protein synthesis.
Lysosomes - ANS-Organelles that degrade and recycle waste.
, Peroxisomes - ANS-Organelles that break down chemicals into H202, produces free radicals.
Golgi Apparatus - ANS-Organelle responsible for packaging and distribution.
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum - ANS-Organelle that synthesizes steroids and detoxification.
Tight Junction - ANS-Impermeable junction; strength.
Gap Junction - ANS-Junction that allows for conductivity, synchronizes contractions of cardiac
muscle through ionic coupling.
Desmosomes - ANS-Junctions that hold cells together by continuous bands or belts of
epithelial sheets or button-like points of contact.
Diffusion, Facilitated Diffusion, and Osmosis - ANS-Non-energy forms of transport.
Active Transport - ANS-Energy-requiring movement of molecules across a membrane, example
is Na/K pump.
Hypotonic Fluid - ANS-Causes cells to swell.
Hypertonic Fluid - ANS-Causes cells to srhink.
36 ATP - ANS-How many ATP are produced in aerobic respiration?
2 ATP - ANS-How much ATP can anaerobic respiration make?
