Recall that a small amount of releasing factor from the hypothalamus can cause the adrenal cortex to secrete a much greater amou

nt of cortisol. The action of cortisol, in turn, can result in a high final concentration of glycogen in the liver. This is an example of:a. hormone signal denaturation
b. hormone signal amplification
c. hormone signal accumulation
d. hormone signal degradation

Answer:

The correct answer is- hormone signal amplification

Explanation:

The signals that are received by the cell can be amplified in the cell which results in the production of more than one molecule of the product. There is a signal pathway in every cell and the longer the signal pathway the more amplification chances are there.

For example, one membrane receptor is able to produce 10 secondary messengers and each secondary messenger generates 10 mRNA transcript so here the signal amplified by 1000 folds.

So in this question, it is seen that a small amount of releasing factor causing the release of a much greater amount of cortisol which shows the example of hormone signal amplification.

While mRNA strands are being created a sequence is sometimes miscopied. What is the best possible outcome for the cell should th
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The best possible outcome for the cell in the event of mis-copied mRNA is for the mis-copied sequence to code for the same amino acid as the correct sequence would have done

Explanation: The process of transcription during which the message in DNA is transcribed as genetic codes into mRNA is sometimes not error proof. Synthesized mRNA is usually transported into the cytoplasm where the codes are translated into protein.

Each genetic code which is usually a sequence of 3 purine/pyrimidine bases codes for an amino acid. However, due to the degenerate nature of the genetic codes, more than one codon can code for the same amino acid. The degenerate nature is caused by the fact that there are 64 possible codons and there are 20 amino acids in nature. For example, UUA, UUU and UUG can be coding for the same amino acid in nature.

Hence, if a mistake occur during transcription, the best possible scenario for the cell is that the mis-copied sequence will end up coding for the same amino acid(s) as the correct correct sequence would.

What does it mean to say that an allele is "fixed" in the population?
Gemiola [76]
Alleles are the individual genes that give rise to certain characteristics in an organism.

When an allele is "fixed" to a population, this means that the characteristic will be constant & most likely will not change until the environment changes as well.

Like with arctic hare, the alleles that influence the color of their coats (white in the winter & brown in the spring/summer) will stay because any fur pattern other than the aforementioned characteristics with result in becoming someone else's food with the lack of camouflage.

Hope that helps!
