Biomedical Science - ANS-The application of the principles of the natural sciences, especially biology and physiology, to clinical medicine.
Control Group - ANS-The group in an experiment where the independent variable being
tested is not applied so that it may serve as a standard for comparison against the experimental group where the independent variable is applied.
Dependent Variable - ANS-The measurable effect, outcome, or response in which the research is interested.
Experiment - ANS-A research study conducted to determine the effect that one variable has upon another variable.
Forensic Science - ANS-The application of scientific knowledge to questions of civil and criminal law.
Hypothesis - ANS-Clear prediction of the anticipated results of an experiment.
Independent Variable - ANS-The variable that is varied or manipulated by the researcher.
Negative Control - ANS-Control group where conditions produce a negative outcome. Negative control groups help identify outside influences which may be present that were
not accounted for when the procedure was created.
Personal Protective Equipment - ANS-Specialized clothing or equipment, worn by an employee for protection against infectious materials (as defined by OSHA).
Positive Control - ANS-Group expected to have a positive result, allowing the researcher to show that the experimental set up was capable of producing results.
Adenine - ANS-A component of nucleic acids, energy-carrying molecules such as ATP, and certain coenzymes. Chemically, it is a purine base.
Chromosome - ANS-Any of the usually linear bodies in the cell nucleus that contain the genetic material.
Cytosine - ANS-A component of nucleic acids that carries hereditary information in DNA
and RNA in cells. Chemically, it is a pyrimidine base.
Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) - ANS-A double-stranded, helical nucleic acid molecule capable of replicating and determining the inherited structure of a cell's proteins.
