Superficial burn, such as a sun burn is considered - CORRECT ANSWER- first degree
burn
Which of the following is NOT true about cell division? - CORRECT ANSWER- When a
cell divides, each resulting daughter cell receives half of the chromosomes from the
mother cell
A patient has developed a decubitus ulcer infected with MRSA. The ulcer is narrow, but
deep, and the white bone can be seen at the bottom of the sore. This ulcer is
considered: - CORRECT ANSWER- Stage IV
Cells normally need to divide for these purposes, except: - CORRECT ANSWER- To
form masses of cells
Which of the following is a property of DNA? - CORRECT ANSWER- it can replicate
itself, It can mutate, It can direct synthesis of proteins, It can store information
Decubitus ulcers usually result from: - CORRECT ANSWER- prolonged pressure that
cuts off circulation
stratum corneum of the epidermis: - CORRECT ANSWER- Is composed of dead cells
Which of the following is NOT true about DNA organization in the nucleus? - CORRECT
ANSWER- Human DNA is broken up into 46 genes
Which of the following is NOT found in the dermis? - CORRECT ANSWER- keratin
When a chromosome gets replicated before cell division, it is replicated except at the: -
CORRECT ANSWER- centromere
Which of the following is NOT a function of the skin? - CORRECT ANSWER- absorption
of water
,The function of arrector pili muscle is - CORRECT ANSWER- To raise the hair into an
upright position
Cytokinesis is - CORRECT ANSWER- Separation of two daughter nuclei into two
separate cells
Prophase - CORRECT ANSWER- Centrioles replicate and move to the opposite sides
of the nucleus to creat opposite poles. Centrioles form spindle fibers that attach
themselves to the nuclear membrane. Spindle fibers pull apart the nuclear membrane
and the nucleus disappears. The spindle fibers attach themselves directly to the
exposed replicated chromosomes.
Metaphase - CORRECT ANSWER- Spindle fibers keep pulling on the exposed
chromosomes. As the spindle fibers pull with equal force toward opposite poles, the
chromosomes align on the equatorial plane.
Anaphase - CORRECT ANSWER- The centromeres of all the chromosomes replicate,
causing the chromosomes to split in half. As the spindle fibers keep pulling, they force
the separated daughter chromosomes to gather at opposite poles of the cell.
Telophase - CORRECT ANSWER- Spindle fibers disappear. Nuclear membrane re-
forms around each set of daughter chromosomes at opposite poles of the cell.
Which of the following is NOT true about the sex chromosome? - CORRECT ANSWER-
They are never homologous
The separation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is called: - CORRECT
ANSWER- segregation
Which of the following processes is NOT a part of Gametogenesis? - CORRECT
ANSWER- fertilization
The superior part (top) of the uterus is referred to as: - CORRECT ANSWER- fundus
Homologous chromosomes separate from each other during: - CORRECT ANSWER-
Meiosis I
Which of the following chromosomal pairs are considered the sex chromosomes? -
CORRECT ANSWER- Pair #23
, The inner most layer of the uterus is called: - CORRECT ANSWER- endometrium
Failure of homologous chromosomes to separate from each other is called: -
CORRECT ANSWER- nondisjunction
Which of the following is NOT true about Down syndrome? - CORRECT ANSWER- It
results from missing certain genes from the genetic library
Sperm cells are produced in: - CORRECT ANSWER- seminiferous tubules
Which of the following is NOT true about an embryo and a fetus? - CORRECT
ANSWER- Fetus continues forming new organs until birth
Which of the following is NOT true about sex cells? - CORRECT ANSWER- Sex cells
are diploid cells
Which of the following is NOT true about the consequences of nondisjunction? -
CORRECT ANSWER- It always results in Down syndrome
Which of the following is NOT true about a zygote? - CORRECT ANSWER- It has 1 set
of chromosomes
When exiting the testes, the sperm goes through the male reproductive tract in this
order: - CORRECT ANSWER- seminiferous tubules, epididymis, vas deferens, urethra
Testes are located outside of the body cavity in the: - CORRECT ANSWER- scrotum
When an ovary releases an egg cell, first it goes to the: - CORRECT ANSWER-
fallopian tube
Homologous chromosomes are - CORRECT ANSWER- The chromosomes that come
from two different parents, but contain gene coding for the same traits
The x-linked genetic disorders - CORRECT ANSWER- Are caused by mutant genes
found on X chromosome #23
The fructose for energy and antibacterial enzymes are added to semen by - CORRECT
ANSWER- seminal vesicle
