______________ these compounds regulate cell division rates, maintain normal kidney function and fluid balance, direct hormones
Alik [6]

<u>Full question</u>:

___________ these compounds regulate cell division rates, maintain normal kidney functions, and fluid balance, direct hormones to their target cells, regulate the flow of substances in an out of cells and regulate ovulation.

a- triglycerides

b- amino acids

c- eicosanoids

d- carbohydrates

<u>Answer:</u>

Eicosanoids these compounds regulate cell division rates, maintain normal kidney functions, and fluid balance, direct hormones to their target cells, regulate the flow of substances in an out of cells and regulate ovulation.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Eicosanoids behave like hormones, but they did not desire to move. Eicosanoids sometimes seem on cells nearby to their locality of composition. Eicosanoids also swiftly split down, so they are incapable of progress quite notably. Most eicosanoids are created from arachidonic acid.

Hen, eggs, burgers are samples of meals that render arachidonic acid. The eicosanoids obtained from certain fatty acids possess a diversity of consequences on your body. They also modify the insusceptible rejoinder and several respiratory and generative processes.

Which statements correctly describe mutations in gametes and mutations in somatic cells?
ASHA 777 [7]

A mutation is a rare, accidental or induced modification of genetic information (DNA or RNA sequence) in the genome.


The consequences of a mutation vary according to the part of the genome affected. A mutation is said to be hereditary if the mutated genetic sequence is passed on to the next generation.

In multicellular animals, germline mutations can be transmitted to offspring, whereas somatic mutations do.


Somatic mutations do not affect cells intended for reproduction, so they are never hereditary:

* Post-zygotic mutations are the mutations that appear in the egg after fertilization. They are rarer and are expressed as mosaic in the individual concerned (the mutation will be present only in the daughter cells originating from the mutated embryonic cell).

* Mutations can appear throughout life on the DNA of any cell; they are then transmitted to the line of the daughter cells. These can, in some cases, become tumor cells and then form cancer.
