When a baby suckles at its mother's breast the stimulus at the breast is sent to the mother's brain (a region called the hypotha

lamus). the brain responds by releasing hormones to stimulate the production and the ejection of milk from the breast. this helps the newborn to receive nourishment and encourages more suckling. this example is best described as a ________?

Yikes.

This is known as positive feedback. It is a continuous loop, that occurs when something physiological is altered.

When this alteration changes, an even stronger change is made in that equivalent direction. 

What I mean by this, is that the physiological change of the baby interacting with the mother caused an increase in that same direction. 

The increase in that same direction is the production of hormones, which raised the amount of milk.

Hopefully, this helps!

Why do you think people like Ben Saunders explore extreme environments? Do you think you’d like to explore an extreme environmen
adell [148]

One major reason for exploring extreme environments is to find new resources. An example of a resource is the search for a new antibiotic. Extreme environments have rare species endemic to the regions which can offer different insights from the normative environment we are used to.

No, I would not. This is because the risk of death is higher in an extreme environment. Example of these risks are deadly diseases or harsh climate. The body may be unable to adjust to the extreme environment hence may be unable to restore homoeostasis;  such as in restoring body heat in extremely cold environments hence leading to hypothermia.

Aside from the nucleus, where else can a small amount of dna be found in a eukaryotic cell?
mylen [45]

The nucleus is not the only source of DNA, besides it, DNA is also found in the mitochondria of all eukaryotic cells, as well as in the chloroplasts of plant cells and such DNA is called extrachromosomal DNA.

The DNA from the mitochondria (mtDNA) and chloroplasts are small and circular, which are similar to the prokaryotic DNA.

mtDNA contains its own genes that encode proteins that are part of the electron transport chain.

<span>Chloroplast DNA encodes for the components of the photosynthetic pathway.</span>
