Earlier in the course, we looked at four groups of macromolecules: proteins, nucleic acids (ribonucleic acid and deoxyribonucleic acid), carbohydrates, and lipids (fats, phospholipids, and steroids). Transcription synthesizes [a] . Translation synthesizes [b].

The human genome project revealed that humans have approximately 20,000 protein-coding genes, but produce well over 20,000 different proteins. What best explains this?

In your body, different cells have different structures and functions. What is the primary reason cells within your body have different structures and functions?

Above are four diagrams illustrating cells during division. In all cases, the parent cell was a diploid cell with two pairs of chromosomes. Cell A is in [a] of [b]. Cell B is in [c] of [d]. Cell C is in [e] of [f]. Cell D is in [g] of [h].
