The hormone calcitonin is released from the thyroid gland in response to increased levels of calcium ions in the blood. If this

The hormone calcitonin is controlled by a negative feedback mechanism because it's release leads to the decrease of calcium blood levels.

<h3>What is negative feedback mechanism?</h3>

A negative feedback mechanism is the defined as a type of regulatory mechanism in the body where by the increased output of a system leads to a decrease of another system.

Therefore, the release of the hormone calcitonin (increased level of calcitonin in the blood) will lead to decrease in blood levels of calcium.

Scientific study of the population cycles of the snowshoe hare and its predator, the lynx, has revealed that
ladessa [460]
This scientific study revealed that predation is the dominant factor affecting prey population on cycling. Population cycles is the feature where populations rise and fall over a predictable period of time. For example there are some species where population numbers have reasonably predictable patterns of change. From the study depicted in the question; when snowshoe hares are scarce, many lynx leave their home range in search of food. An increased predation of the hare due to high populations of lynx and other predators increases the decline in the hare population.

How can DNA be useful in phylogeny? Question 14 options: A) DNA from every organism in a clade is sequenced to identify genetic
Delvig [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option B. DNA sequences from different species can be compared, giving us more information about their evolutionary relationships.

Explanation:

The study of the evolution of a species in a longer period of time and its evolutionary relation with other species is phylogeny. DNA is the basis of the molecular phylogeny of a species to find out the evolution of species.

Genetic mutations, a sequence of nucleotides, and other information of DNA helps in the establishment of divergence from common ancestry. By comparing the information it gives an idea about the evolutionary ancestry of two or more species.
