Answer:

Option B , hormone paracrine

Explanation:

All the signals that are released from hormones usually act on some distant site.  

Endocrine signals releases hormones that act on target cell at large distances. These large distance signals move to the target cell through bloodstream. However, transmission through body fluid is a slow process.  

Endocrine glands such as  thyroid gland etc. release ligands that are  produced in one part of the body but affect other body regions some distance away.

Thus option B is correct

list two major ways the earth's atmosphere was different 3 billion years agi before the advent of photosynthesis
kodGreya [7K]

  • It was a weakly reducing atmosphere
  • It was hotter

Explanation:

The primordial earth’s atmosphere was mainly composed of carbon dioxide and methane. These are greenhouse gases that kept the temperatures of the atmosphere high because they trap infrared radiation that reflects off the earth's surface. These gases also made the atmosphere a reducing atmosphere due to the absence of oxygen. The most likely source of carbon dioxide was frequent volcanoes at the time and the methane from early anaerobic microbes.

The atmosphere changed when photosynthetic organisms evolved and caused the Great Oxygenation Event because they evolved oxygen.

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The statement that best explains the mechanisms of inheritance of gene "The allele for blue is an X-linked dominant allele because there are no blue male offspring in cross 2."

Explanation:

The mechanism for inheritance of gene is the condition, in which the mutation when happens in one allele and cause the effect in the relevant phenotype. Similar inheritance will also be seen when the mutated allele will produce new type of the protein which will have deletorious effect on the normal function of the cell. In case of the single gene, autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, X-linked dominant, X- linked recessive and mitochondrial are modes of inheritance.
