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

- Brain
This controls activity and thought.
- Cerebrum
It is the space between neurons where electrochemical signals pass.
-Synapse

A result of excessive secretion of growth hormones.
- Gigantism
A result of an abnormal enlargement of the thyroid gland.
- Goiter
This deposits sperm cells.
- Penis
This serves as the site
-Oviduct
The average length of menstrual cycle for women.
- 28 days
This carries sperm and urine out of the body.
-Uretha
The nerve fibers that carry information into and out of the brain stem.

Suppose a girl ate too many sweets such as candies and and chocolates. How will the hormones from her
pancreas help her body cope with a possible blood sugar level rise above normal?
- Insulin is released in response to an increase in blood glucose level
What might happen to a person whose nervous and endocrine systems fail to maintain homeostasis?
- It may lead to various diseases and even death
The following are components of a DNA molecule , except;
- Ribose
This carries the information from the DNA to the Ribosomes.
- mRNA
This translates the genetic message through protein
- tRNA
This serves as the site of attachment for protein synthesis
- rRNA
This determines the order of bases in mRNA of amino acids into a protein
- Translation
This occurs when a piece of chromosome breaks off and attaches to another chromosome.
- translocation
This genetic disorder occurs when there is an extra copy of chromosome 21 gained by the human body
- Down's Syndrome
If this strand is replicated, which of the following is the complementary strand that is produced?
- TTACGGTCACCA
If transcribed into an mRNA what would be the resulting strand?
- UUACGGUCACCA
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

-Loss of habitat
This refers to the value of species if their products are used as sources of food, medicine, clothing, shelter and
energy.
-Direct Economic value
This describes how Ecosystem varied are life forms in different ecosystems.
-Biodiversity
The agency responsible inprotecting the natural and wild life resources
-DENR
This refers to the group of organisms of the same species that live in a certain area
-Population
The maximum number of a population an environment can support.
-carrying capacity
It occurs when a population approaches its carrying capacity and individual organism leave and goes to a new area
where they can find enough resources for survival.
-Emigration
This refers to a community of organisms that live, fed, and interact with the environment.
-ecosystem
These are the factors that control the growth of population..
-limiting factors
