Answers:

  • Mendelian inheritance states that traits are determined when offspring receive <u>alleles </u>for each trait from <u>Parents</u>.

Explanation:

As per Mendel, all the traits which are present in an offspring are determined by specific genes which exist in alternate forms called alleles. For example: The height of a plant is a trait which is determined by alleles T for tall height and t for small height of same gene. The organisms acquire these alleles from parents (one allele from each parent).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Traits can be <u>Dominant </u>which means they can be seen and are capable of masking a different trait.

Explanation:

Dominant trait means when only a single dominant allele for the trait in an organism is enough for the organism to depict the trait. For example: In pea plant, purple flower color is a dominant trait over white. So any plant who contains only one dominant allele for purple (allele P) will have purple flowers but all plants that have two pp alleles will have recessive trait i.e White flowers.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Traits can also be <u>Recessive </u>which means they can be masked.

As mentioned in above example, white flower color of pea plant is a recessive trait. Recessive means that if a plant has one copy of recessive and one copy of dominant allele, the dominant allele will suppress or mask the effect of dominant allele. Example is the above case of flower color when a plant with genotype Pp will have purple but not white flowers.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Alleles are different versions of the same <u>gene </u>in an organism.

Alleles are just alternate forms of a gene. For example if a plant height is determined by a gene L, it has two forms capital L and small l which are alleles of same gene. But capital L is for tall height and small l is for short height.

Which hormone is secreted during periods of stress and is related to increased risk of disease?
gulaghasi [49]

Stress is a condition that tends to disturb the equilibrium of the individual with the environment. There are hormonal changes which occur during stress and have their impact in the endocrine system.

Reaction to stress is associated with increased hormone secretions of several hormones such as glucocorticoids, growth hormone, prolactin and catecholamine. The elevated levels of these hormones increase the risk of infections and also decrease the innate immunity as well as increase the autoimmune responses.

There are endocrine disorders related with the increased hormone secretion during stress conditions such as psychosexual dwarfism, obesity, Grave’s disease and gonadal dysfunction. The effect of increased secretion of the hormones is increase in mobilization of energy and adaption of the individual to current circumstances.

Activation of the pituitary adrenal axis is an important and dominant response due to stress. On stimulation of the pituitary adrenal axis results in hypothalamic secretion of the CRF (corticotrophin-releasing factor) which further stimulates the pituitary to ACTH, 3-endorphin and 8-lipotropin.

During stress, the plasma levels of these hormones increase up to five times.

The stimulation of the pituitary adrenal axis is also associated with the release of hormone catecholamine. The increased level of catecholamine leads to increased skeletal muscle flow of blood increased cardiac output and glucose levels, bronchiolar dilation, cutaneous vasoconstriction etc.

Acute stress releases vasopressin rapidly from the Para ventricular nucleus of hypothalamus together with corticotrophin releasing hormone.

During stress there is also suppression of gonadotropins and gonadal steroidal hormones which disrupt the normal menstrual cycle and prolonged stress can also lead to impairment of reproductive functions.

Thyroid functions are down regulated during stress conditions. T3 and T4 levels decrease whenever there is any stress condition.

The growth hormone level increases due to physical stress and prolactin level may increase or decrease depending on the conditions of regulatory environment locally.
