How might a single hormone have drastically different effects in

Biology

3 0

Answer:

The correct answer is "There are several mechanisms that explain why a hormone have different effects in different cells. These mechanisms include: multiple receptors for the same hormone, a single receptor coupled to different pathways and hormones interacting with receptors for other molecules".

Explanation:

Hormones are among the most versatile molecules of the body, responsible for different biological processes such as human growth, sex development and metabolisms. Hormones are responsible of these complex biological processes because they have drastically different effects in different cells. There are several mechanisms that explain why a hormone have different effects in different cells. These mechanisms include:

- Multiple receptors for the same hormone. For instance, there are multiple receptor for dopamine, a hormone and neurotransmitter responsible for different functions such as movement, memory, sleep and motivation.

- A single receptor coupled to different pathways. Most hormone receptors act with a cascade of signaling. This in consequence results in a single receptor interacting with different molecules having multiple effects.

- Hormones interacting with receptors for other molecules. One example is the action of one metabolite of progesterone named allopregnanolone. This metabolite interacts with GABA-A receptor, which gives it anxiolitic properties.

What is the accumulation of differences between species or populations?
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer: Divergence evolution or divergent selection

Explanation:

The divergent evolution/divergent selection can be defined as the process of accumulation of differences between the related populations lies within the species. This process leads to speciation.

This occurs when the two populations of the same species get separated by a geographic barrier. The separated members of the same species experience different selective pressure that are responsible for adaptation in the new environment.

When using a microscope to view cells you obtained from scraping under your fingernails, you notice that the cells lack nuclei;
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Bacteria

Explanation:

There are two kinds of cells found in/on the human body that lacks nucleus

  1. Red blood cells
  2. Bacteria

Since the material observed under the microscope was scraped from under the finger nails and there was no indication of broken skin, it is likely that the observed cells are bacteria.
