Answer: d. Hormones control the size and shape of target cells.
Explanation:
A hormone is a substance that is released by some parts of the body but they are effective for causing an effect on the other parts or cells typically called as target cells or organs. These are responsible for controlling the physiological functions in the body of the organism.
The hormones does not change the shape and size of the target cells instead they cause the target cells to perform metabolic functions required for living.

Answer:
Explanation:
In mitosis, when a single cell divide into two daughter cell and each daughter cells have a copy of chromosomes, there must first be the copying of the chromosomes from the parent cell and after that the chromosomes are separated or there is separation of chromosomes into each of the daughter cells.
The Characteristics of life are growth, reproduction, homeostasis, sense and respond to stimuli, obtain and use energy, made of cells, adapt and evolve.
The cellular process shown in the image as x, y and z are mentioned below:
X is Replication. It is the process by which double- DNA Replication is the process by which double stranded DNA makes its own copies. Each strand on its separation, synthesizes a complementary stand.
Y is Transcription. It is the process by which copying of the information from a strand of DNA into a new molecule of mRNA, with the help of an enzyme RNA polymerase.
Z is Translation. It is the process in which genetic code on mRNA is decoded to produce the specific sequence of amino acids to form a polypeptide chain.
