The process of copying DNA to produce two identical DNA molecules.

An enzyme that bonds nucleotides together during DNA replication.

A physical or chemical agent that can cause mutations in DNA.

Genetic disorders that require two defective genes to be inherited.

Mutations that occur in non-reproductive cells, affecting the individual but not offspring.

A brain region controlling temperature, metabolism, and reproduction via hormone release.

Referred to as the 'master gland', it controls other glands and secretes key hormones.

Located above the kidneys, they release hormones like adrenaline and aldosterone for stress responses.

A gland in the neck that produces thyroxine for metabolism and calcitonin for calcium regulation.

Four small glands that regulate calcium and phosphorus through parathyroid hormone.

Located below the stomach; secretes insulin to lower and glucagon to raise blood sugar levels.

Embryo transitions into a fetus, developing human-like shape, measuring 1-2 inches.

Fetus grows larger with more defined human features.

Eyelashes and physical features develop; preparing for birth.

A process that amplifies actions to achieve a specific goal sometimes worsening conditions.

Male reproductive cells produced in the testes.

Organs that produce sperm cells and hormones like testosterone.

A coiled tube where sperm are stored after production.

Tube carrying sperm from the epididymis to the urethra.

Muscular organ where a fertilized egg develops into a fetus.

The process of releasing a mature egg from the ovaries.

Narrow passage connecting the uterus to the vagina.

Produces T lymphocytes for immune response.

Hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are produced by ovaries and testes.

The process that maintains a stable internal environment in the body.

A mechanism that counteracts change to restore balance, like insulin and glucagon regulate blood sugar.

A hormone produced by the pancreas that reduces blood sugar levels.

A protein in red blood cells that transports oxygen throughout the body.

Building blocks of proteins, there are 20 types categorized into essential and non-essential.

Proteins regulate hormones, transport substances, and maintain cell structure.

The process where DNA is copied into messenger RNA in the nucleus.

A process where proteins work to stop bleeding and seal wounds.

Muscular tubes that expel semen during ejaculation.

External female genitalia, encompassing several parts.

Fatty tissue covering the pubic bone.

Small, inner lips of the vulva without pubic hair.

Large, outer lips of the vulva covered with hair.

Erectile tissue at the junction of the labia minora.

Monthly shedding of the uterine lining (endometrium).

Days 1-13 when the endometrium rebuilds after menstruation.
