Answer:

They act to regulate the expression of specific genes (androgen-responsive)

Explanation:

Testosterone is a reproductive hormone in male humans. Testosterone as well as its closely related hormones e.g dihydrotestosterone, all belong to a class of hormones called "Androgens".

Androgens operate by entering into a cell and binds with specific androgen-receptor proteins (AR proteins). This contact activates the AR proteins, forming an androgen-receptor complex.

This complex then translocates into the nucleus of specific cells to bind to the DNA. Once it binds, it either inhibits or promotes the expression of specific genes (androgen-responsive). Hence, AR proteins are transcription factors because they play a significant role in regulating transcription of specific genes i.e. turning 'on' or 'off' of specific genes.

This process helps to direct the development of male sexual characteristics.

• growth since when they are exposed to high temperatures they grow and become bigger

We can determine if they are living or not by:

• seeing if they respire

• seeing if they need nourishment

Apa template about multiple sclerosis
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Multiple Sclerosis is an inflammatory disease in which myelin sheath of nerve cells of brain and spinal cord are damaged.

Explanation:

Cause:- (Exact cause of inflammation is not known)

  • But damage is caused due to attack by autoimmune cells or antibodies against myelin sheath.

Types of tissues attack:-

  • Oligodendrocytes and myelin sheath is damaged and stripped away from axon and the process is known as demyelination.
  • Myelin sheaths are made up of fatty tissues and help in transmission of electric impulse.

Result of immune system attack:-

  • Damaged myelin sheath stop forming whIte matter of central nervous system.
  • Hence disrupt coordinating communication between different brain regions.

Signs and symptoms:- vary from person to person

  • Diminished eyesight.
  • Disrupt motor coordination.
  • Weak sensory perception.
  • Fatigue and dizziness.
  • Speech disorder.
  • Muscle weakness and spasticity.
  • Difficulty in urination and stool.

Diagnosis and treatment:-

  • Diagnosis include MRI T2 findings and cerebrospinal fluid specific oligoclonal bands.

Which area of biology states that living things undergo gradual, structural, and functional changes over long periods of time
Tasya [4]

Given what we know,  we can confirm that the area of biology that states that living things undergo gradual, structural, and functional changes over long periods of time is referred to as evolution.

<h3>What we know about evolution. </h3>
  • This is a theory that was put forward by Charles Darwin.
  • Evolution accounts for the structural and functional changes that are passed down from one generation to the next.
  • The changes produced by evolution are very slow in that they may take many generations to complete a noticeably change.
  • These changes are hereditary.

Therefore, we can confirm that the theory of evolution put forward by Charles Darwin states that living things undergo gradual, structural, and functional changes over long periods of time.
