Cytokinesis results in the physical separation of the cytoplasm, leading to the formation of two daughter cells.

Agrobacterium tumefaciens is used as a vector for gene delivery in plant biotechnology.

Aldosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal cortex that helps regulate sodium and potassium levels, thus influencing blood pressure.

Biopesticides are used to control pest populations in an environmentally friendly manner, reducing the reliance on chemical pesticides.

Calcium ions bind to troponin, causing a conformational change that allows myosin to bind to actin.

Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.

Condoms are used to prevent both pregnancy and the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

Cyclins are proteins that regulate the progression of the cell cycle by activating cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs).

DNA ligase is an enzyme that joins DNA fragments together, which is crucial for creating recombinant DNA molecules.

DNA polymerase is an enzyme that synthesizes new DNA strands during replication.

Genetic drift is a mechanism of evolution that leads to random changes in allele frequencies in a population, particularly in small populations.

GMOs are engineered to enhance resistance to pests, thereby increasing crop yield.

Glucagon is a hormone produced by the pancreas that raises blood sugar levels by promoting the conversion of glycogen to glucose in the liver.

Hemoglobin in red blood cells binds to oxygen in the lungs and transports it to tissues throughout the body.

NADP+ acts as an electron carrier, becoming reduced to NADPH during the light-dependent reactions.

Neurotransmitters are chemicals that transmit signals across the synapse from one neuron to another.

Neurotransmitters are chemicals that transmit signals across a synapse from one neuron to another.

Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain during aerobic respiration.

Oxytocin is a hormone that stimulates uterine contractions during childbirth and is also involved in social bonding.

Plasmids are small circular DNA molecules that can replicate independently and are commonly used as vectors to transfer genes into host cells in genetic engineering.

Platelets, or thrombocytes, are essential for blood clotting, helping to prevent excessive bleeding when injuries occur.

Producers convert solar energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis, forming the base of the food chain.

RNA polymerase is responsible for synthesizing RNA from a DNA template during transcription.

Sepals protect the flower bud before it opens and can also support the flower.

Sulfur is essential for the synthesis of amino acids and proteins, playing a critical role in plant metabolism.

Tendons connect muscles to bones, allowing for the transfer of force and movement.

The cell membrane regulates the transport of substances in and out of the cell.

The filament is the stalk that supports the anther, which produces pollen.

The loop of Henle plays a crucial role in the reabsorption of water and salts, helping to concentrate urine.

The lymphatic system is responsible for transporting lymph, which contains immune cells, and helps in the removal of waste products from tissues.
