If, and only blood sugar levels rise past a certain point, the cells will release a hormone called insulin. Insulin acts as a/an

in a homeostatic feedback loop

Answer:

When blood glucose level rises beyond the threshold levels, the pancreas secrets hormones insulin. The latter ensures entry of  glucose into the cells through Glut transporters for cellular utilization, therefore reducing the blood levels., and promotes storage as glycogen in the liver and muscles.  

How ever if  the glucose levels drops below the  set point, an hormone glucagon is also produce by the pancreas to cause the liver o withdrawal and breakdown glucose storage as  glycogen back to glucose thus raising the blood glucose level back to the normal levels.

This is an example of negative feedback mechanism, because the increase in the input levels (blood glucose levels) brings about a counter  mechanisms (insulin secretions)as output , to reduce the  elevated   levels by promoting  entry into the cells,, thus bringing the levels to threshold levels.

Thus insulin is acting in a negative feedback mechanism to control blood glucose levels

Answer:

•The relationship between the twist and the wild type flower in the first crossing is known as a COMPLETE DOMINANCE

•The relationship between the forked and the wild type flower in the second crossing is also known as a COMPLETE DOMINANCE

•The relationship between the pale and the wild type flower in the third crossing is known as an INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE

Explanation:

A complete dominance is characterised by having one of the genes (the dominant gene) in an heterozygous condition, completely masking the effect of the other (the recessive gene) of thesame allelic pair. E.g. if the genes in allelic is represented with Aa, "A" is said to completely dominate "a" if it does not allow "a" to Express itself phenotypically.

The heterozygous condition is always the result of the F1 generation

and the F2 generation of a Complete dominance is always characterised by a phenotypic ratio of 3:1 which is in line with the results gotten from the first crossing and the second crossing as stated in the question.

An complete dominance is characterised by having an intermediate progeny in the F1 generation which was evident in the result of the third crossing. Also a phenotypic ratio of 1:2:1 in the F2 generation is also a characteristic feature of an Incomplete dominance relationship which was also evident in the third crossing.
