Answer:
The exploitation of biological processes for industrial and other purposes, especially the genetic manipulation of microorganisms for the production of antibiotics, hormones, etc.
Explanation:
ACTH (Adrenocorticotrophic hormone) stimulates the adrenal glands to secrete its hormones.
hGH (Human growth hormone) also known as somatotrophic hormone is responsible for the growth of long bones, muscles and viscera.
TSH (Thyroid stimulating hormone) influences the structure of the thyroid and causes it to secrete thyroid hormone.
Answer: No, mRNA ( messenger RNA) model does not closely resemble the DNA strand from which it is transcribed.
This is because mRNA strand is complementary to the strand of DNA template that is used in its synthesis during the process called transcription. The polarity of DNA template is 3' to 5' whereas that of mRNA transcribed is 5' to 3' that is both the strands have antiparallel polarity.
This is the reason template DNA is referred antisense. mRNA strand more closely resembles the sense strand ( which is complementary strand of DNA template in a double helix).
Advantages of asexual reproduction:
- There is no need for a mate/ only one parent is required
- It takes less time compared to sexual reproduction
Disadvantages of asexual reproduction:
- There is little genetic variation/less diverse population
- Offspring cannot adapt to change
Advantages of sexual reproduction:
- Genetic diversity
- Offspring can adapt to change
Disadvantages of sexual reproduction:
- Two parents are needed
- Slow reproduction compared to asexual reproduction
