| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The vast variety of life forms in the entire earth | Biodiversity |
| Encompasses all kinds of lofe forms from the single called organisms to the largest multi called organisms | Biodiversity |
| The source of the essential goods and ecological servicea | Biodiversity |
| The foundation of human health | Biodiversity |
| 5 threats of Biodiversity | 1. Loss of habitat and destruction 2. Alteration of ecosystem composition 3. Over exploitation 4. Pollution and contamination 5. Global climate |
| Give some consequences of Biodiversity Loss | 1. Food insecurity 2. Health impact 3. Reduced ecosystem reliance |
| Loss of plant biodiversity can lead to declined in crop yields and increased vulnerability to pests and diseases | Reduced crop diversity |
| When species disappear, it can disrupted the delicate balance of ecosystems, impacting the availability of food resources | Disrupted food chains |
| Decline of pollinators can threaten the production of many crops that rely on them for pollinators | Loss of pollinators |
| The passing of traits from parents to offspring through asexual or sexual reproduction | Heredity |
| Contained within genes on chromosomes directs the synthesis of proteins essential for specific trait | Genetic information |
| Ensure continuity of structure and function between generations | Genetic information |
| Contained within genes on chromosomes, directs the synthesis of proteins essential for special traits | Genetic information |
| Genetic makeup | Genotype |
| Physical manifestation | Phenotype |
| The degree to which a genotype is expressed in the phenotype | Expressivity |
| The presence of cells with different genotypes un a single individual | Mosaicism |
| Process by which one X chromosome in female mammals is inactivate | X- Inactivation |
| The introduction of genes into existing cells 5o the prevent or cure a wide range of diseases | Gene Therapy |
| A technique for correcting defective genes responsible for disease development | Gene therapy |
| A measure of how often a disease genotype correlates to the disease phenotype | Penetration |
| Every genetically positive individuals shows clinical manifestations | Complete penetration |
| Some genetically positive individuals may be asymptomatic | Incomplete penetration |
| 2 types of gene therapy | 1. Somatic cell gene therapy 2. Germ line cell therapy |
| Will not be inherited later generations | Somatic cell gene therapy |
| Therapeutic genes transferred into somatic genes | Somatic cell gene therapy |
| It is heritable by later generations | Germ line gene therapy |
| Therapeutic genes transferred into the germ cells | Germ line gene therapy |
| Direct delivery of therapeutic gene into target cell into patients body | In vivo gene therapy |
| Carried out by viral or non viral vector system | In vivo gene therapy |
| What are the 2 approach in Gene Therapy | 1. In vivo gene therapy 2. Ex vivo gene therapy |
| Few defective cells removed from patient and grown in the laboratory | Ex vivo gene therapy |
| The first hunan to receive ex vivo gene therapy | Ashanti De Silva |
| Are mother cells that havr potential to become any type of cell in the body | Stem Cells |
| Different sources of stem cells | Embryonic stem cells Somatic stem cells |
| Derived from a four or five day old human embryo that is in the blastocyst phase of development | Embryonic stem cells |
| The cells that exists throughout the body after embryonic development and are found inside of different types of tissue | Somatic stem cells |
| Found in brain, bone marrow | Somatic stem cells |
| Is accompanied by endless transmission of transformations that takes place within and outside the human body | Life |
| Is the knowledge communicated or obtain concerning a specific fact or circumstance | Information |
| Defined as a period starting in the last quarter of the 20th century | Information Age |
| Also called digital age and the new media age | Information age |
| He proposed the theory of information age | James R. Messenger |
| An electronic device that stores and processes data | Computer |
| The most important contributions of advances in the information to society | Computer |
| 7 types of computers | 1. Personal Computer 2. Desktop computer 3. Laptops 4. Personal digital assistant 5. Server 6. Mainframes 7. Wearable Laptops |
| A single user instrument | Personal Computer |
| Were first known as microcomputers | Personal Computer |
| It is described as pc that is not designed for portability | Desktop computer |
| It will be set up in a permanent spot | Desktop computer |
| Are portable computers that integrate the essentials of a desktop computer in a battery powered package | Laptops |
| Are tightly integrated computers that usually have no keyboard | Personal digital assistant |
| Refers to a computer that has been improved to provide network services to other computer | Server |
| Are huge computer systems that can fill an entire room | Mainframes |
| They involve materials that are usually integrated into cellphones, watches and other small objects | Wearable computers |
| Several historians trace the origin if internet from him | Claude Elwood Shannon |
| Father of Information Theory | Claude Elwood Shannon |
| A worldwide system if interconnected networks that facilitate data | Internet |
| Develop during the 1970s by the Department of Defense | Internet |
| They are the directors of Stanford research project | Sergey Brin and Larry Page |
| They built a search engine | Sergey Brin and Larry Page |
