The organ that makes estrogen and progesterone is the ovary that is responsible for female puberty and

characteristics.
The male reproductive cell is called sperm.
The 14th day of the regular menstrual cycle is considered as the ovulation day.
The adrenal glands produce hormones that control the heart rate and breathing in times of emergency.
When the nervous system makes you feel hungry or thirsty your body process is helping you carry out
homeostasis.
The thyroid gland releases calcitonin and thyroxin hormones.
Osteoporosis is a disorder in which bones become fragile and breakable.
Dwarfism is a rare condition that causes abnormal growth in children due to the decrease in the
production and secretion of growth hormones.
The ability to reproduce begins at adolescence.
Menstruation is a sign that a girl is capable of producing offspring.
Menstruation is the discharge of blood from the uterine wall.
An egg may be released from the ovary through a process called ovulation.
In the female human reproductive system, fertilization normally occurs in the fallopian tube/oviduct.
Hormones affect various processes in the body as they regulate the activities of organs, tissues, and
cells. The female hormones act in very small amounts but estrogen must be dominant.
Progesterone hormone thickens uterine lining (endometrium) in preparation for implantation, and inhibits
FSH and LH.
The follicle stimulating hormone helps control the menstrual cycle and stimulates the growth of eggs in
the ovaries.
The nervous system uses electrical impulses to send messages through neurons while Endocrine system
uses hormones to send messages to the target cells through the bloodstream.
The nervous system is the center of all mental activity such as thinking, learning, and memory.
The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord.
The main parts of the nervous system are the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the molecule that serves as the “blueprint” of life.
The nitrogenous bases in DNA are Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine.
In DNA, Adenine is always paired with Thymine, while Cytosine is always paired with Guanine.
Mutation is the change in a gene due to damage or being copied incorrectly.
Mutagens are the agents of mutation such as vices and radiations.
A codon is the genetic code word of three bases on mRNA that specify one amino acid.
A nucleotide in DNA is composed of a deoxyribose sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogenous base.
In humans, each cell normally contains 23 pairs/ 46 individual chromosomes.
Fossils are embedded on soft fragments of sedimentary rocks. Fossils indicate that life has a history.
They are pieces of evidence of life in the past. The older the fossils, the less they resemble modern-day
species.
An adaptation promotes chance for organisms to survive and reproduce.
Similar DNA sequences are the strongest evidence for evolution from a common ancestor
Evolution refers to change and it is continuously happening. The mutation causes evolution only when it
becomes heritable.
Natural selection states that: nature selects the variations within a species that are most useful for
survival, fitness gives organisms the ability to survive but not to produce fertile offspring and a change in a
species occurs over time.
Jean Baptiste de Lamarck is the first evolutionist to believe that organisms change.
If animals cannot adapt to changes in their environment they may move to another location or migrate.
As the population size increases, the demand for resources in a community also increases.
The Philippines is tagged as a global center for marine biodiversity, which the country struggles to protect
against illegal activities like dynamite fishing which results to destruction of coral reefs.
If the number of births is equal to the number of deaths in a population, then population growth remains
the same.
