1What are the following hormones for:AdrenalGonadalHormones in Invertabrates
What chemical class do these all belong to?
The Adrenal Gland Hormones for responding to stress Gonadal Sex Hormones Steroid Hormones Produced in the Testes and Ovaries Hormones in Invertebrates Regulation of Insect DevelopmentSteroids
2Steroid Hormones are Derived from _________ backbone.
The primary sources (glands) for the steroid hormones are the _______and the _____ namely the ________
Steroid Hormones are Derived from Cholesterol
The primary sources for the steroid hormones are the adrenal glands and the gonads (ovaries, testes)
2What steroid hormones are made from thea) Adrenal Glandsb) Gonads
A) Aldosterone a mineralocorticoid and Cortisol a glucocorticoid
b) Testosterone and Estrodial
3 The adrenal glands, regulated by ________, release hormones in response to ________. What 5 physiological changes occur? What response are these changes known as?
3The adrenal glands, regulated by the nervous system, release hormones in response to dangerous or stressful situations that increase blood pressure, raise heart rate, respiratory rate and metabolic rate, and increase blood glucose levels (the “fight or flight response”).
4What hormone is released in response to stress?Where is it released?What are the short and long term effects? What hormones are secreted to make short and long term effects and where are they secreted in each case? describe the pathway
Answer 5
The Adrenal Glands effects
5What are the three sex hormones?
Sex steroid hormones are mainly produced in the _____ and_____ and production is regulated by the______ and_______
•Estradiol •Testosterone •Progesterone Sex steroid hormones are mainly produced in the ovaries and testes and production is regulated by the hypothalamus and pituitary
6What do the following stand for?GnRHFSHLH
What does Melatonin do? In what kind of animals
GnRH = gonadotropin releasing hormone FSH = Follicle Stimulating Hormone LH = Leutinizing Hormone
It supresses release of FSH and LH in seasonal mammals
6Describe the Feedback Loops and Control of Sex Steroid Secretion.

Anabolic Steroids:
Side Effects (More Common)
Males and Females: Hypertension Increase in LDL cholesterol Heart disease Aggression (“Roid Rage”) Liver damage Acne Males: Breast enlargement Impotency Testicular atrophy Infertility Females: Breast reduction Increase in body hair Baldness Uterine reduction Disruption of menstrual cycle
8What is the scientific name for and tell me the difference between a complete and an incomplete metamorphous? Give me an example of an insect
Complete - Holometabolous - The baby looks nothing like the adult. The tissues actually rearrange themselves to make the adult- catapillar
Incomplete - Hemimetabolous - Baby resembles adult. Each stage of metamorphis involves shedding to get to next step- Cockroach
9What three hormones regulate insect development? give the type of hormone too. Also tell me what they do
Insect development is regulated by 1. a peptide hormone (PTTH) released from neurosecretory cells in the brain, that functions as a tropic hormone 2. a steroid (ecdysone) released from an endocrine gland (prothoracic gland) 3. a small molecule (juvenile hormone) released from another endocrine organ (the corpus allatum).
9Describe the whole process (draw) of the regulation of insect development.
Answer 12
Regulation of ins dev.

Define Meiosis and what are its two major functions?
•Meiosis is a replication of the DNA followed by two rounds of cell division. It has two major functions: –Creation “haploid” gametes (sperm and eggs) –Recombination of genes by exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes
11
What are Haploid, Diploids and Polyploid?What kind of organisms tend to have polypoids?What exactly is replicated during cell division?What are homologous genes and where are they found?
1n - 1 set of chromatids or genes, 2n - 2 sets of chromatids or gene, Xn - many set of chromatids or gene
Plants
Sister Chromatids
Genes that express their phenotypes with similar function. Each chromatid has her homologous gene located on the same position on her sister chromatid.
