Anopheles is a genus of mosquito first described and named by J. W. Meigen in 1818. About 460 species are recognised; while over 100 can transmit human malaria, only 30–40 commonly transmit parasites of the genus Plasmodium, which cause malaria in humans in endemic areas.
1. Regulation of glucose blood levels is an example of negative feedback mechanism.
Negative feedback mechanism is a control mechanism involved in homeostasis maintain, in this case maintenance of glucose blood levels in normal range.
Negative feedback mechanism contains sensory system that detects the changes, control system that responds to change and activates mechanisms of effector system that reverse the changes in order to restore conditions to their normal levels.
• Pancreatic cells-sensors
• Insulin-control system
• Body cells- effector cells
2. Blood glucose levels change throughout the day because of the food consumption, but in healthy individuals levels of glucose are successfully regulated via the mechanism of hormones such as insulin and glucagon in a process called glucose blood regulation.
This tight regulation of pancreatic hormones is referred to as glucose homeostasis. Insulin lowers blood sugar and glucagon raises it.
3. If the beta cells are destroyed by an autoimmune disease (immune system attacks its own cells), there would be no insulin release, and consequently, the glucose blood levels would be increased.
Diabetes type I is a metabolic disorder caused by the destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells.
Two traits that represent a sustainable society is an emphasis on egalitarianism - where there would be a tendency to strive towards a society of equals. Another would be an emphasis on using renewable energy.
On the other hand, an unsustainable society would have an emphasis on using fossil fuels due to being cheaper and having an ever-increasing productions of goods, not considering how taxing this might be on the planet.
Let,
Dominant trait, red color be designated as C'C'
Recessive trait, white color be represented as C"C"
The F₁ generation of the cross :
C'C' X C"C" = C'C"
F₂ generation cross is shown in the image attached.
According to the cross, the probability of pink flower being produces 1s 50%
