Answer:

The organisms use DNA as the genetic (contains code of life) as well as heredity (transferred to progeny) material.

DNA is packaged into a highly condensed structure called chromosome which gets passed on to progeny through male and female gametes. The formation of the gametes involves meiosis which introduces recombination of the sequence of the DNA.  

The chromosomes contain a sequence of DNA called genes which codes for a particular trait of organisms. These genes control a trait when they receive the complementary form of the gene from another chromosome.  

When the gametes fuse then both the gametes contribute half of their chromosomes and make a complete set of chromosomes. Thus, the continuity of life is controlled by heredity material.

What is it called when two hormones cancel each other out or have opposite effects?
mina [271]

antagonism

When two hormones cancel each other out or have opposite effects it is called antagonism.

<h3>What is an example of antagonism?</h3>
  • Traditional examples of antagonistic hormones include insulin and glucagon.
  • In contrast to glucagon, which stimulates glycogenolysis, or the conversion of glycogen to glucose, insulin stimulates glycogenesis, or the conversion of glucose to glycogen.

<h3>What does the term "antagonistic hormones" mean?</h3>
  • Antagonistic hormones are those that work to bring body circumstances back from extremes to within acceptable bounds.
  • An illustration of how the endocrine system maintains homeostasis through the action of antagonistic hormones is the regulation of blood glucose concentration (by negative feedback).

<h3>How do antagonists to hormones function?</h3>
  • Infertility, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids are just a few of the diseases that gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists are used to treat in women.
  • GnRH is a hormone released by the hypothalamus that is the target of GnRH antagonists, which stop it from functioning.
