The type of cell division observed in the Figure is Meiosis. It can be deciphered by the presence of recombination between homo-logous chromosomes.

<h3>What is Meiosis?</h3>

Meiosis is a type of reductional cell division by which a cell produces four daughter cells having half of the genetic material.

Meiosis is a cell division that involves a genetic phenomenon known as recombination or crossing over.

Recombination refers to the exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids during Prophase I.

It has been recently determined that the gene for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is more than 2000 kb (kilobases) in length;
castortr0y [4]

Answer. D

Explanation:

After the messenger RNA (mRNA) is formed, it has to go trough different steps before being translated into proteins, also known as maturation of the mRNA. One of the most important steps is splicing, a process that removes the introns (regions of the sequence that do not codify for any particular amino acid sequence or protein). In other words, the splicing process removes sequences that do not generate any protein, leaving only the exons to be translated into protein. However, the genes (within our DNA) will contain exons and introns; Therefore, the gene sequence will have more kilobases compared to mature mRNA as the introns in this macromolecule have been spliced out.  

I hope this clarify your question .

Which hormone is secreted during periods of stress and is related to increased risk of disease?
gulaghasi [49]

Stress is a condition that tends to disturb the equilibrium of the individual with the environment. There are hormonal changes which occur during stress and have their impact in the endocrine system.

Reaction to stress is associated with increased hormone secretions of several hormones such as glucocorticoids, growth hormone, prolactin and catecholamine. The elevated levels of these hormones increase the risk of infections and also decrease the innate immunity as well as increase the autoimmune responses.

There are endocrine disorders related with the increased hormone secretion during stress conditions such as psychosexual dwarfism, obesity, Grave’s disease and gonadal dysfunction. The effect of increased secretion of the hormones is increase in mobilization of energy and adaption of the individual to current circumstances.

Activation of the pituitary adrenal axis is an important and dominant response due to stress. On stimulation of the pituitary adrenal axis results in hypothalamic secretion of the CRF (corticotrophin-releasing factor) which further stimulates the pituitary to ACTH, 3-endorphin and 8-lipotropin.

During stress, the plasma levels of these hormones increase up to five times.

The stimulation of the pituitary adrenal axis is also associated with the release of hormone catecholamine. The increased level of catecholamine leads to increased skeletal muscle flow of blood increased cardiac output and glucose levels, bronchiolar dilation, cutaneous vasoconstriction etc.

Acute stress releases vasopressin rapidly from the Para ventricular nucleus of hypothalamus together with corticotrophin releasing hormone.

During stress there is also suppression of gonadotropins and gonadal steroidal hormones which disrupt the normal menstrual cycle and prolonged stress can also lead to impairment of reproductive functions.

Thyroid functions are down regulated during stress conditions. T3 and T4 levels decrease whenever there is any stress condition.

The growth hormone level increases due to physical stress and prolactin level may increase or decrease depending on the conditions of regulatory environment locally.

The organisms that harness non-biological energy and convert it to biologically relevant/useful energy are called __ 1 __ _. The
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The organisms that harness non-biological energy and convert it to biologically relevant/useful energy are called __<u>autotrophos or producers</u>_. The organisms that consume these are called _<u>herbivores</u>_ (it should end in -ores) which occur at the __<u>second</u>_ trophic level. The number of trophic levels that any ecological system will primarily dependent on the _<u>consumer</u>_ organisms.

Explanation:

 In the trophic web occurs energy transference through organisms occupying different levels in the chain. Each level feeds on the preceding one and becomes food for the next one. The first link is occupied by autotroph organisms, which are the producer. The following links are the consumers: herbivores are primary consumers and feed on producers. Carnivores are secondary consumers and feed on herbivores, and so on. The last links are the decomposers, microorganisms that act on dead animals degrading organic matter.  

Every link has an effect on the superior links and the immediately anterior link, meaning that whenever one of the links changes, the other ones will be affected.  

Autotrophs or producers synthesize inorganic substances, such as light, and turn them into organic matter according to their own needs. These organisms are photoautotrophs, such as plants, or chemoautotrophs. They occur at the first trophic level.

Heterotrophs are those incapable of producing their own organic matter, so they feed on producers, depending on them to get proteins and energy. In the trophic chain, heterotrophic organisms occupy the first, second, or third consumer level, after producers. These animals can be herbivorous, carnivorous,  omnivorous, hematophagous, ichthyophagous, and etcetera. All of them depend on autotrophic organisms.

In the particular case of herbivores, they occur at the second throphic level feeding on producers and being eaten by carnivores.

In general, most trophic chains are composed of 4 or 5 levels, depending on the number of consumers present, and the energy transference between levels.
