Answer:The uterus has receptors for oxytocin, but not for cholecystokinin.

Explanation:

Both of the hormones are released and travel via same pathway towards the  uterus. The uterus responds to oxytocin but does not responds to cholecystokinin because the uterus has no receptor for this hormone.

Cholesystokinin is secreted from gastrointestinal system and is responsible for stimulating the digestion of protein and fat.

Whereas oxytocin plays a major role in the childbirth, sexual reproduction and social bonding.

DNA replication occurs during which phase of the eukaryotic cell cycle?
wariber [46]

In eukaryotic cells the DNA can be found in the nucleus mainly. so DNA replication takes place in the nucleus during the S phase of the cell cycle.

Also in eukaryotic cells there are mitochondria and chloroplasts (plants) and these have circular DNA and they also get replicated (according to their own mechanism).

Prokaryotic cells don't contain a nucleus. They do not contain DNA in the cytoplasm and thus the DNA replication will take place here.

I really hope this helps!
