Test I. Read the questions carefully. Then, identify what is asked.

1. This functions as organizer and distributor of information for the body.

2. This controls activity and thought.
3. It is the space between neurons where electrochemical signals pass
4. A chemical substance that controls and regulates the activity of certain cells or
organs.
5. A result of excessive secretion of growth hormones
6. A result of an abnormal enlargement of the thyroid gland.
7. This deposits sperm cells into the vagina during mating.
8. This serves as the site of egg fertilization
9. The average length of menstrual cycle for women.
10. This carries sperm and urine out of the body.
11. The nerve fibers that carry information into and out of the brain stem.
12. This releases Thymosin that prevents the body from acquiring diseases
13. A boy is running away from danger. What hormone is responsible for the boy’s
action?
14. A kid is growing taller. What gland is responsible for the girl’s growth?
15. This genetic disorder occurs when there is an extra copy of chromosome 21 gained by the human body.

Test II. The following is the base sequence on one strand of a DNA molecule:
AATGCCA GTGGT
1. If this strand is replicated, which of the following is the complementary strand that is produced?
2. If transcribed into an mRNA, what would be the resulting strand?
3. Arrange the following steps of protein synthesis in correct order.
1. The mRNA carries the DNA copy to the cytoplasm
2. A section of DNA containing a gene is copied and mRNA is formed
3. tRNA bring the correct amino acid from the cytoplasm to the ribosome
4. The mRNA is fed through the ribosome 3 bases at a time
5. tRNA drop amino acids off at the ribosome
6. The amino acids are linked together to form a long protein chain
