Answer:

The correct answer is the third option - endocrine signaling.

Explanation:

The endocrine signaling takes place when endocrine cell organs or glands release hormones that flow through the bloodstream and that act on distantly located target cells in the body. The endocrine system includes several glands that release or secretes different hormones.

The pituitary gland transfers signals to other endocrine glands to release or inhibit their hormone production according to the brain signals. The adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is released by the anterior pituitary gland that stimulates cortisol release in the adrenal glands in stressed conditions.

Thus, the correct answer is option third - endocrine signaling.

lana [24]

Answer:

0.04 for 6 legs starfish and 0.96 for 5 legs starfish.

Explanation:

The allele frequency for the 6 legs starfish is 0.04 whereas, the allele frequency for the 5 legs starfish is 0.96 because there is only one 6 legs starfish in the given population as compared to 5 legs starfish. The low population of 6 legs starfish is due to the presence of recessive allele while on the other hand, higher population of 5 legs starfish is due to the presence of dominant allele. The allele frequencies for both population is done by dividing the allele of interest by total number of alleles present in the population.
