Biomedical Sciences PLTW EOCBiomedical Sciences - ANS-The application of the principles of the natural sciences, especially
biology and physiology, to clinical medicine.
Processing a Crime Scene - ANS-5 parts include photography, sketch, interview, collect
evidence, and examine/analyze evidence.
Forensic Entemology - ANS-The use of insects and bugs to determine when a person died
Livor Mortis - ANS-The dsicoloration of the skin due to the pooling of blood in the dependent
parts of the body following death.
Rigor Mortis - ANS-The body becomes rigid after death due muscles tensing up from the lack of
ATP, which typically causes them to relax
Algor Mortis - ANS-The temperature lost in a dead body
What is Glaister Equation used for? - ANS-The equation used to determine time of death.
What is Glaister Equation? - ANS-
Control Group - ANS-The group in an experiment where the independent variable being tested
is not applied so that it may serve as a standard for comparison against the experimental group
where the independent variable is applied.
Dependent Variable - ANS-The measurable effect, outcome, or response in which the research
is interested
Experiment - ANS-A research study conducted to determine the effect that one variable has
upon another variable
Forensic Science - ANS-The application of scientific knowledge to questions of civil and criminal
law
Hypothesis - ANS-Clear prediction of the anticipated results of an experiment
Independent Variable - ANS-The variable that is varied or manipulated by the researcher
Negative Control - ANS-Control group where conditions produce a negative outcome. Negative
control groups help identify outside influences which may be present that were not accounted
for when the procedure was created.
, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) - ANS-Specialized clothing or equipment, worn by an
employee for protection against infectious materials (as defined by OSHA)
Positive Control - ANS-Group expected to have a positive result, allowing the researcher to
show that the experimental setup was capable of being produced
Adenine - ANS-A component of nucleic acids that carries hereditary information in DNA and
RNA in cells. Chemically, it is a purine base. Bonds with Thymine.
Chromsome - ANS-Any of the usually linear bodies in the cell nucleus that contain the genetic
material.
Cytosine - ANS-A component of nucleic acids that carries hereditary information in DNA and
RNA in cells. Chemically, it is a pyrimidine base. Bonds with Guanine.
Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) - ANS-A double-stranded, helical nucleic acid molecule capable of
replicating and determining the inherited structure of a cell's proteins.
Gel Electrophoresis - ANS-The separation of nucleic acids or proteins, on the basis of their size
and electrical charge, by measuring their rate of movement through an electrical field in a gel
Gene - ANS-A discrete unit of hereditary information consisting of a specific nucleotide
sequence in DNA (or RNA, in some viruses
Guanine - ANS-A component of nucleic acids that carries hereditary information in DNA and
RNA in cells. Chemically, it is a purine base. Bonds with Cytosine
Helix - ANS-Something spiral in form
Model - ANS-A simplified version of something complex used, for example, to analyze and solve
problems or make predictions
Nucleotide - ANS-A building block of DNA, consisting of a five-carbon sugar covalently bonded
to a nitrogenous base and a phosphate group.
Restriction Enzyme - ANS-A degradative enzyme that recognizes specific nucleotide sequences
and cuts up DNA
Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms (RFLPs) - ANS-Differences in DNA sequence on
homologous chromosomes that can result in different patterns of restriction fragment lengths
(DNA segments resulting from treatment with restriction enzymes).
