Both involuntary and voluntary control

The main organ(s) of the repiratory system are the ______.

Lungs

In the instance where we pulled down on the rubber diaphragm", the volume inside the plastic "chest cavity" increased. How did this increase in volume affect the pressure inside the lungs and chest cavity?

Decreased the pressure

As discussed in lab, breathing is possible because air moves in response to pressure differences between the lungs and the atmosphere. Inhalation (movement of air into the lungs) results when the air pressure in the lungs is _____ that of the atmosphere outside the body.

Higher than

The initials CNS that are used in lab stand for ____ _______ _______.

Central Nervous System

Each piece of infromation recieved by receptors is called a ______.

Stimulus

_______ which occurs within the central nervous system, involves the processing of messages received from receptors and the activation of appropriate responses.

Integration

Pacinian corpuscles are receptors for _____ and _______.

Pressure and high frequency vibration

What is a reaction?

A voluntary response to the reception of a stimulus

Sensory nerves carry messages from _____ to ______.

Receptors to Central Nervous System

Before we can react to a given stimulus, several things must happen. List them in order.

1. A stimulus activates a receptor


2. A sensory nerve transmits infromation to the central nervous system


3. The brain process the information


4. A message is carried on a motor nerve


5. The appropriate reaction occurs in the muscle

_______ is considered by most to be the father of genetics. 

Gregor Mendel

When 2 alleles are the same they are called _________.

Homozygous

Rr is an example of a ______ while pink flower is an example of a ______.

Genotype, Phenotype

A monohybrid cross is when ______.

Only one trait is looked at in a cross

Assuming that you have true-breeding individuals in the parental generatio, the _____ reatio you would expect in the F2 generation of a monohybrid cross is 3:1.

Phenotypic

The difference between a monohybrid and a dihybrid corss is ___________.

The number of traits under consideration

An individual with the genotype AaBB can produce gametes with which of the following combination of alleles?

AB and aB

True-breeding individuals are ________ for all traits under consideration.

Homozygous 

If two individuals with the genotypes AABB and aabb are mated, the offspring will _______.


A.) All be heterozygous for both traits


B.) All be homozygous for both traits


C.) All be homozygous for one trait


D.) All be heterozygous for one trait

All be heterozygous for both traits

For which phenotypes can we infer the genotype(s)?

We can only infer the genotype when a recessive characteristic is expressed in the phenotype

Why are humans not acceptable subjects for genetic studies?

Long life span, small families, unethical to randomly mate

According to the mathematical concept of ______, half the gametes of a person with the genotype Tt would contain the T allele and the other half would contain the t allele.

Probability

The Hardy-Weinberg Law is a statement of ______________.

The constancy of gene frequencies in a population.

What is the first step you must take when solving for the algebraic terms in a Hardy-Weinberg problem?

Solve for q^2.

The frequency of RR (a homozygous dominant genotype) is represented by the algebraic term ______ in the Hardy-Weinberg equation.

p

After an experiment it is found that the ability for a duck to drive a car is genetically based and is a homozygous recessive trait, dd (non-driving is the dominant trait). 22 ducks were found to be able to drive, while 78 were unable to drive. What is the value of q^2?

0.22

23 able to drive, 78 unable to drive. Non driving is dominant. What is the freuency of the homozygous dominant trait?

0.282

23 able to drive. 78 unable to drive. Non driving is dominant.
