In my research, i found that the levels of "gonadotropins" in the body are critical to understanding how the drugs clomid and or

tho tri-cyclen work. what are gonadotropins? what structure releases them? (2)

I believe the gonadotropins are hormones secreted by the gonads and are released by the testes and ovaries.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Gonadotropins are a group of hormones secreted by the female and male reproductive system. The organs that produce are Testes and Ovaries. The hormones are released due to action of another polypetide hormone called the gonadotropin releasing hormone that stimulates the male gonads (testis) to produce the steroid hormone called testosterone and the female gonads (ovaries) to produce estrogen.

<h2>Further Explanation:</h2>

All the gonadotropin hormones are steroid in nature and they are lipophilic hence they can pass through the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane and cause a change in the gene expression inside the nucleus of the target cell. Control of these hormones is via the Hypothalamus Pituitary Gonadal (HPG) axis and the Hypothalamus Pituitary Adrenal (HPA) axis. The steroid hormone testosterone can also be produced by the adrenal cortex of the adrenal gland in the topmost layer called the zona glomerulosa. The drugs clomid and ortho tri-cyclen target the these to axes in order to produce the desired response.

Clomid acts on the female HPG axis by acting on specific estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus where it has a negative feedback mechanism on the release of gonadotropin releasing hormone thus impacting the production of gonadotropic hormones through upregulation.

ortho tri-cyclen is an oral contraceptive that inhibits ovuating by acting on the female HPG axis where it has a negative feedback mechanism on the hormone Follicle Stimulating Hormone. It inhibits the FSH hormone production in the anterior pituitary gland meaning there will be no maturation of the ovarian follicle into the graafian follicle which will produce the hormone estrogen necessary for the thickening of the endometrial layer of the uterus. Inhibitin estrogen production also means that it will prevent the cervical mucus from becoming thin in order to allow the passage of sperms during sexual intercourse.

Answer:

Gonadotropins are polypeptide hormones and are secreted by the anterior pituitary gland.

Explanation:

Hypothalamus releases GnRH i.e gonadotropin releasing hormone which stimulates the anterior pituitary to secrete gonadotrophs such as FSH, ICSH and LH.

FSH (follicle stimulating hormone): In males it stimulates spermatogenesis. In females it stimulates growth of ovarian follicles.

ICSH (Interstitial cell stimulating hormone): In males, secretion of testosterone.

LH (Luteinising hormone): In femalestogether with FSH, it triggers ovulation, stimulates conversion of broken ovarian follicle into corpus luteum.

In peas, the color yellow (Y) is dominant to the color green (y). How many of the four possible outcomes are yellow?
pantera1 [17]
It depends on the situations. In the first situation, a Yy gene crosses with a Yy gene. 3 out of 4 of the outcomes have a capital Y in them, meaning that they have a dominant yellow allele. The bottom-right box has two lower-case y's, so it will be green. In the second situation, a YY gene crosses with a Yy gene. Here, all 4 out of 4 of the outcomes have at least one capital Y, so they will all be yellow. Hope that helps!

The one-toed horse of today steadily evolved from its five-toed ancestor.​
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

It is true that one-toed horse of today steadily evolved from its five-toed ancestor.​

Explanation:

  • Evolution is the law of nature.There is a continuous process of evolution in each biological species in nature.
  • Similarly, horses had 5 toes millions of year back, but according to the theory of gradualism their use decreased and toes started fusing.
  • Now, its only one toe at present but the vestigial left over provides the solid evidence for the fact that horses had 5 toes in the past.

A letter about the evidence of evolution
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

I am writing this in response to a letter regarding evolution. Evolution is increasingly solid, not shaky. Darwin’s “theory” or explanation was a way of understanding what he had discovered (which did not include genes, chromosomes, DNA or nucleotide bases). Our explanations now include genetics and the commonality of mutation.  

Proofs are solid, not in question by serious scientists. Direct observation is one, which we see in the fact that this year’s flu evolved a little too far from last year’s, so flu shots are less effective this year than we would like them to be.  

Fossils tell the story well: whales with legs, dinosaurs with feathers and Tiktaalik. The latter was found in the Canadian north and is part fish, part amphibian, before there were ever any amphibians. Imperfection is a good proof: think of your useless appendix, the very bad design of your ankles, knees, and back (talk to a chiropractor about that).  You have big toes because they used to be useful thumbs for your grasping feet.

Many other animals and even plants similarly have flaws that show their evolutionary past. Two large human chromosomes reflect the coming together of two chimpanzee chromosomes each.

Hope it helps,

Please mark me as the brainliest

Thank you
