(Ventromedial) hypothalamus

Among its other functions, the hypothalamus controls a person's feeling of hunger and satiety in two anatomically distinct centers -- the lateral hypothalamus and the ventromedial hypothalamus. When glucose levels in the body are low, the liver signals to the lateral hypothalamus that a person needs to eat to increase his/her glucose levels. This gives the feeling of hunger.

As a person eats, he reaches a point called satiety, which tells him/her that he/she should stop eating. As food begins to move from the stomach to the intestines, a hormone called cholecystokinin (CKK) is produced to signal the ventromedial hypothalamus that a person must stop eating. This gives the feeling of satiety, often characterized by the full or distended feeling of the stomach and intestines.

Another difference would be that DNA contains the 5 carbon sugar deoxyribose while RNA usually contains the 5 carbon sugar of ribose. One differs from the other, as ribose has an additional hydroxyl group bonded to one of the carbon atoms, where as deoxyribose does not.

When you hear the term mutation, you usually think of change. But how do mutations influence traits that may be inherited?
lana [24]

Hereditary mutation - may be passed to another generation, occurs in gametes, variation that may enhance survival.

Somatic mutation - not passed from generation to generations, occurs in body cells.

Both- changes in DNA.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Mutations are defined as sudden changes in DNA that takes place by changing a particular nucleotide or a portion of DNA, or even a whole chromosome which has potential to change characters of an organism. Mutation was first proposed by Hugo de Vries who is also known as the Father of Mutation Theory.

Mutations can occur in any cell of body. It may occur in somatic cells, or in germ mother cells. But the mutations that occur in germ mother cells are actually the mutations that are carried forward by the gametes into next generations. Mutation in somatic cells get obliterated as the organism dies. And the Mutation in gamete cells are those mutations which are capable to cause variations in progenies which can led to better survival of the progenies.

DNA replication occurs during which phase of the eukar<br><br> yotic cell cycle?
Ann [662]

its either The division cycle of most eukaryotic cells is divided into four discrete phases: M, G1, S, and G2. M phase (mitosis) is usually followed by cytokinesis. S phase is the period during which DNA replication occurs or In eukaryotes, the cell cycle consists of four discrete phases: G1, S, G2, and M. The S or synthesis phase is when DNA replication occurs, and the M or mitosis phase is when the cell actually divides. The other two phases — G1 and G2, the so-called gap phases — are less dramatic but equally important. hope this helped!!
