1.

which represent the first change in shape of the embryo's body from a flat sheet of cells?

a)

Migration of myoblasts from the myotome- muscle cells have begun migrating from the mytome by the 10th prenatal week

b)

Formation of cartilage- Cartilage first appears in the 5th week

c)

Formation of neural folds- The neural folds can be seen during the 3rd prenatal week. The lateral edges of the neural plate begin to elevate as folds arise dorsally.

d)

Formation of the embryonic disk- the embryonic disk forms from teh small inner cell mass within the blastocyst. This occurs prior to the formation of the three primordial layers, long before the embryo acquires three-dimensional shape

2.

Mitochondria produce which chemical for intracellular energy?

a)

RNA- Mitochondria generate through ATP, not RNA production

b)

ADP- Mitochondria generate through ATP, not ADP production

c)

ATP- Mitochondria produce energy via ATP

d)

DNA- Mitochondria generate through ATP, not DNA production

3.

Which chemical is called the second messanger?

a)

cAMP- cAMO transmits information to the intracellular organelles when activated by surface receptors on the plasma membrane

b)

aDNA

c)

dGMP

d)

mRNA

4.

Which cellular component facilitates protein synthesis?

a)

Plasmalemma- the plasmalemma provides a protective barrier and regulates the transport of substances to and from the cell

b)

Mitochondria- Mitochondria generates energy

c)

Ribosomes- Ribosomes synthesize protein

d)

Lysosomes- Lysosomes facilitate the breakdown of intracellular and extracellular substances

5.

Which phase of the cell cycle is characterized as the initial resting stage?

a)

S phase- the S phase is characterized as the stage in which DNA synthesis is complete

b)

G1 phase - The G1 phase is the initial resting stage

c)

Prophase- Prophase is characterized by four specific structural changes

d)

G2 phase- The G2 phase is characterized by post-DNA duplication

6.

Posttranslational modifications to proteins produced by the rough endoplasmic reticulum are accomplished by?

a)

Mitochondria- The Golgi apparatus is responsible for posttranslational alterations; mitochondria is not

b)

Messenger RNA- The Golgi apparatus is responsible for posttranslational alterations; mRNA is not

c)

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum- The Golgi apparatus is responsible for posttranslational alterations the smooth reticulum is not

d)

Golgi apparatus - The Golgi apparatus makes alterations to proteins produced by the rough endoplasmic reticulum

7.

The ______ provides an ideal enviroment for the implantation and growth of the embryo.

a)

Myometrium- this is the smooth muscle that lines the uterus

b)

Endometrium- this provides the ovum witht eh nourishment necessary for implantation and growth

c)

Uterine tube- this conducts the egg from the ovary to the uterus

d)

Ovary- This is the female reproductive organ, in which the ova or eggs are produced

8.

Intercalated disks are present in which type of muscle?

a)

Smooth

b)

Skeletal

c)

Voluntary

d)

Cardiac

9.

Developmental abnormalities are not associated with which number of chromosomes?

a)

46 - The normal human cell has 46 total chromosomes

b)

45- developmental abnormalities are associated with less than the normal number of chromosomes (46)

c)

44

d)

47
