All anterior pituitary hormones except growth hormone affect their target cells via a cyclic amp second-messenger system.

1 answer:

5 0

The above statement is true, that all the hormones from the anterior pituitary affect their target cells via cyclic AMP second messenger system except the growth hormone. Cyclic AMP is an important second messenger that is formed when the membrane enzyme adenylyl cyclase is activated by the alpha sub unit of a G protein. The Cyclic AMP in turn then goes on to activate specific proteins. The hormone which is the first messenger binds to receptor , the receptor then activates G protein, the alpha sub unit of G protein activates adenylate cyclase which converts ATP to cAMP which then activates protein kinases.

What are the mechanisms by which aneuploidy and polyploidy are caused? What are the mechanisms by which aneuploidy and polyploid

sleet_krkn [62]

The correct answer is:

The principal cause of aneuploidy is chromosome nondisjunction during mitosis or meiosis. Polyploidy in nature can result either from the duplication of euploid chromosome sets from a single species or from the combining of chromosome sets from different species.

Aneuploidy is a phenomenon when there is the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes in a cell (an extra or missing chromosome). Usually it appears as a result of improper cell division (chromosomes don’t separate) and it can cause many genetic disorders.

Polyploidy refers to a state when there are more than two sets of chromosomes (one from mother one from father). Triploid (three sets of chromosomes) and tetraploid (four sets of chromosomes) chromosomes are examples of polyploidy. This phenomenon is most common in plants.
