Gigantism
and acromegaly are the two diseases resulting from hyper function of the
pituitary gland.
Gigantism
and acromegaly are conditions that are nearly always due to a pituitary adenoma
that is because of excessive secretion of a growth hormone called hypersomatotropism.
<span>If GH
hypersecretion begins in childhood, before closure of the epiphyses pituitary
gigantism occurs. It is a rare condition where skeletal growth velocity and
ultimate stature are increased, but little bony deformity occurs. However,
soft-tissue swelling occurs, and the peripheral nerves are enlarged. Hypogonadotropic
hypogonadism and deferred puberty is also normally present, resulting in a
eunuchoid habitus. While Acromegaly
occurs after the growth plate cartilage fuses in adulthood, it is the same
disorder of IGF-I excess but in acromegaly, an unadorned disease that morbidity
and mortality rates are high because its often diagnosed late, where the
disease is associated with cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and respiratory
disorders and malignancies. </span>
Euglenoids <span>are unicellular protists commonly found in fresh </span>water.They don not have a cell<span> wall, despite that, a protein rich </span>cell membrane called pellicle is present in Euglenoids.
Whereas,<span>Algae are eukaryotic organisms comprising of no roots, stems, or leaves but they filled with chlorophyll and other pigments to carry out the process of photosynthesis. Similar to </span>Euglenoids, they<span> occur most frequently in water, specifically in plankton.
</span>Hence,
Euglenoids and algae share a common characteristic,that is both are autotrophs. They <span>produce complex organic compounds from simple substances present in their surroundings, by the use of energy from sun-light or inorganic chemical reactions.</span>

Answer:
The complementary base pair is ATG TTT GTG ATA TGG CGC ATT TAC TAA
Explanation:
As per the complementary base pairing rule of DNA
C pairs with G and vice versa
A pairs with T (in DNA) or U (in RNA)
Breaking the given strand into triplets, we get -
TAC AAA CAC TAT ACC GCG TAA ATG ATT
ATG TTT GTG ATA TGG CGC ATT TAC TAA
Answer:
a. S represents allele for short hair while s represents allele for long hair.
b. Ss (male) × ss (female)
c. 50% Ss, 50% ss
d. 3 long hair (ss), 3 short hair (Ss)
Explanation:
This question involves a single gene coding for hair length in guinea pigs. The allele for short hair (S) is dominant over the allele for long hair (s).
a. Letter "S" will represent the allele for short hair while letter "s" will represent the allele for long hair.
b. According to this question, a heterozygous male is crossed with a long-haired female. The genotype of the male guinea pig is "Ss" while that of the female is "ss". (see attachment for the punnet square)
c. The possible genotypes of the offsprings in this cross are: Ss and ss, each carrying 50% each as they are produced in a ½ Ss: ½ ss.
d. Since 50% of the offsprings will be both short haired and long haired, If they have six babies, 3 of them will be short-haired while 3 of them will also be long-haired.
