GNRS 515 Patho Exam 1 ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS Cellular Adaptation - CORRECT ANSWER 2.Hypertrophy: increase in cell size 3.Hyperplasia: increase in cell number

DNA replication - correct answer untwisted and zipped by hydrogen bonds being broken between two pairs DNA polymerase - correct answer pairs new bases, aka complementary base pairing (ATCG) Chromosome aberrations occur where? - correct answer occurs among number or structure Explain base pair substitution - correct answer mutation where ATCG base pairing is mixed Missense mutation - correct answer A base-pair substitution that results in a codon that codes for a different a...

Cellular Adaptation - correct answer 1.Atrophy: decrease in cell size 2.Hypertrophy: increase in cell size 3.Hyperplasia: increase in cell number 4. Metaplasia: reversible replacement of one mature cell type by another less mature cell type 5.Dysplasia (atypical hyperplasia): deranged cellular growth (size, shape, and organization) Metaplasia - correct answer Reversible replacement of one cell by another cell type Bronchial metaplasia: (in smokers) - normal columnar ciliat...
