My doctor told me that birth control pills contain small amounts of estrogen and progesterone, and these hormones prevent me fro

m ovulating. I assume that it has something to do with the levels of the gonadotropins that I asked about earlier. Can you explain this to me?

Ok... This is a bit complicated but bear with me. In a female's body Estrogen and Progesterone are two of the major used to maintain the menstruation cycle. Gonadotrophic substances are an entirely different topic with it being the hormones FSH and LH (These hormones are released while an egg is in development in the ovaries). 

Without going into even deeper specifics. Estrogen is used by the body signal to ovulate, as well as thicken the uterine walls... Progesterone is used to maintain the uterine walls "after" the egg is fertilized. What the pill is suppose to do is actually force a premature ovulation, which is why there is estrogen. The Progesterone's job as is maintain the uterine wall's endometrium to a low level and helps keep blood loss from a period at a minimum. 

If you need clarification please feel free to question.

Forming a hypothesis is the first step of the scientific method.
exis [7]

Answer:

The first step in the Scientific Method is to make objective observations. These observations are based on specific events that have already happened and can be verified by others as true or false. Step 2. Form a hypothesis.

Explanation:

The hypothesis is an educated guess as to what will happen during your experiment. The hypothesis is often written using the words "IF" and "THEN." For example, "If I do not study, then I will fail the test." The "if' and "then" statements reflect your independent and dependent variables

Original Codon: CTC GAG
Vesna [10]

The original codons code for Leucine and Glutamic acid. The mutated codons code for Valine and Glutamine.

<h3>Genetic codes and amino acids</h3>

Each of the genetic codes. otherwise known as codons, translates to an amino acid.

Following the table of genetic codes with their respective amino acids:

  • CTC (CUC) codes for Leucine
  • GAG codes for Glutamic acid
  • GTC (GUC)codes for Valine
  • CAG codes for Glutamine

Thus, the glutamic acid in the original codon has been replaced with glutamine in the mutated codon while Leucine has been replaced with Valine.
