Answer:
Pituitary gland, also called hypophysis, ductless gland of the endocrine system that secretes hormones directly into the bloodstream. The term hypophysis (from the Greek for “lying under”)—another name for the pituitary—refers to the gland's position on the underside of the brain.Your pituitary (hypophysis) is a pea-sized endocrine gland at the base of your brain, behind the bridge of your nose and directly below your hypothalamus. It sits in an indent in the sphenoid bone called the sella turcica. The pituitary gland is one of eight interrelated major endocrine glands: Pineal gland.Through secretion of its hormones, the pituitary gland controls metabolism, growth, sexual maturation, reproduction, blood pressure and many other vital physical functions and processes.There are four hormones secreted by the anterior pituitary gland that control the functions of other endocrine glands. These hormones include thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormones (LH).
Answer:
the answer would be chromosomes.
Explanation:
A chromosome contains hundreds to thousands of genes.
Analagous structures. For example, both penguins and dolphins have torpedo shaped heads that help them adapt to their enviroments. They were both in different environments, but they developed similar adaptations to increase their ability to survive in their environments.
False, it's extremely difficult for scientists to agree upon what makes relatively close species different when it comes to extremely technical factors. Whether something is simply a single deformation of a specimen/family or the discovery of an entirely new species. However there are species that are concretely defined, like humans, and it's unlikely that evolution will introduce a new version of humanity any time soon - but if it came to be that 5000 years in the future humans were genetically a world different than how we are today, I suspect it would be a long argument on whether or not they should be classified as a new species by their scientific leaders.
