        Help!  

Question
Answer
Radiobiology   the study of the effects of ionizing radiation on biologic tissue  
🗑
Early effects   symptoms seen minutes or days after an exposure  
🗑
Late effects   symptoms seen months or years after an exposure  
🗑
Examples of late effects of radiation   leukemia, radiation induced cancers, tissue damage, shortened life span  
🗑
What happens with radiation exposure at the atomic level?   molecular change, abnormal cell growth and metabolism  
🗑
What are the 5 principle molecule types in the body?   water, protein, lipids, carbos, nucleic acid  
🗑
Catabolism   breaking down molecules into smaller units, releases energy  
🗑
Anabolism   production of large molecules from smaller parts, uses energy  
🗑
What are the base pairs for DNA?   Adenine – Thymine, Cytosine – Guanine  
🗑
What are the base pairs or RNA?   Adenine – Uracil, Cytosine – Guanine  
🗑
What is cell proliferation?   division (mitosis, meiosis)  
🗑
Which type of division do somatic cells undergo?   mitosis  
🗑
According to biologists, what are the stages of mitosis?   G1, S, G2  
🗑
What are the normal stages of mitosis?   prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase  
🗑
What is G1?   the gap in growth between M (mitosis) and S (synthesis/replication)  
🗑
What is the S phase?   DNA replication  
🗑
What is the G2 phase?   post DNA synthesis phase of cell growth  
🗑
During which stage of mitosis is DNA damage repaired?   G1  
🗑
Which is the least sensitive biologists stage of mitosis?   S  
🗑
When is incorrectly replicated DNA fixed?   During the G2 phase  
🗑
During which regular stage of mitosis are chromosomes analyzed for damage?   metaphase  
🗑
What do we call the division of genetic cells?   meiosis  
🗑
Meiosis 1   cell splits into 2 daughter cells  
🗑
Meiosis 2   the daughter cells split into cellular material, without replicating  
🗑
How many chromosomes are present at the end of meiosis 1?   46 (2n)  
🗑
How many chromosomes are present at the end of meiosis 2?   23 (n)  
🗑
Immature cells are:   undifferentiated and radiosensitive  
🗑
An example of an immature cell is:   a stem cell  
🗑
Mature cells are:   differentiated, radioresistent  
🗑
An example of a mature cell is:   a specialized cell, tissues  
🗑
What determines the radiosensitivity of an organ?   function, maturation rate, inherent sensitivity  
🗑
What is a macromolecule?   a long chain of compounds  
🗑
Chromosome   a bundle of DNA  
🗑
What happens when a base pair is knocked out?   if it is no correctly repaired, the mutation will be replicated  
🗑
What is the most sensitive stage or mitosis?   M  
🗑
Which stage of mitosis is least sensitive?   S  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
