BIOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY TESTQUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS
Anthropology - Answer-The study of humankind, viewed from the perspective of all
people and all times.
Cultural - Answer-__________ anthropology is typically the study of present-day
societies in non-Western settings.
Linguistic - Answer-__________ anthropology is the study of the construction and use
of language by human societies.
Biological - Answer-__________ anthropology is the study of all aspects of present and
past human biology.
Forensics - Answer-The scientific study of crime scene evidence.
Skeletal Biology - Answer-The study of the human skeleton in relation to other tissues
such as muscles and tendons.
Primatology - Answer-The study of nonhuman primates, the closest living relatives of
human beings.
Paleoanthropology - Answer-Also called physical anthropology, the study of physical
remains of ancient humans and hominids.
Somatic - Answer-_______ cells are diploid cells that form the organs, tissues, and
other parts of an organism's body.
Gamete - Answer-Sexual reproductive cells, ova and sperm, that have a haploid
number of chromosomes and that can unite with a gamete of the opposite type to form
a new organism.
Nucleus - Answer-A membrane-bound structure in eukaryotic cells that contains the
genetic material.
Mitochondria - Answer-Energy-producing (ATP) organelles in eukaryotic cells; they
possess their own independent DNA.
Ribosomes - Answer-The organelles attached to the surface of the endoplasmic
reticulum, located in the cytoplasm of a cell; they are the site of protein synthesis.
, Mitosis - Answer-The process of cellular and nuclear division that creates two identical
diploid daughter cells.
Meiosis - Answer-The production of gametes through one DNA replication and two call
(and nuclear) divisions, creating four haploid gametic cells.
Haploid - Answer-A cell that has a single set of unpaired chromosomes.
Diploid - Answer-A cell that has a full complement of paired chromosomes.
Chromosomes - Answer-The strand of DNA found in the nucleus of eukaryotes that
contains hundreds or thousands of genes.
Locus - Answer-The location on a chromosome of a specific gene.
Centromere - Answer-Region of a chromosome where the two sister chromatids attach.
Genes - Answer-The basic unit of inheritance; a sequence of DNA on a chromosome,
coded to produce a specific protein.
DNA - Answer-A double-stranded molecule that provides the genetic code for an
organism, consisting of phosphate, deoxyribose sugar, and four types of nitrogen
bases.
Adenine - Answer-One of the four nitrogen bases that make up DNA and RNA; it pairs
with thymine in DNA molecules and uracil in RNA molecules.
Cytosine - Guanine - Answer-One of the four nitrogen bases that make up DNA and
RNA; it pairs with guanine.
Replication - Answer-The process of copying nuclear DNA prior to cell division, so that
each new daughter cell receives a complete complement of DNA.
Protein synthesis - Answer-The formation of proteins by using information contained in
DNA and carried by mRNA
mRNA - Answer-The molecules that are responsible for making a chemical copy of a
gene needed for a specific protein, that is, for the transcription phase of protein
synthesis.
tRNA - Answer-The molecules that are responsible for transporting amino acids to the
ribosomes during protein synthesis.
Uracil - Answer-One of the four nitrogen bases that makes RNA; it pairs with adenine.
