I think the neurotransmitter associated with bulimia nervosa is the hormone serotonin or 5-HT (5-hydroxytryptamine). Serotonin is an important chemical and neurotransmitter in the human body that is responsible to regulate mood and social behavior, appetite and digestion, sleep, memory, and sexual desire and function. Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by eating large amount of food in a short amount of time.

The neurotransmitter associated with bulimia nervosa is serotonin or 5-HT.

Bulimia nervosa is a serious eating disorder which is characterized by a cycle comprised of episodes of rapid consumption of large amount of food and compensatory behaviour, such as fasting, excessive exercise and even vomiting.
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter found in the gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system and it is thought to be connected to feelings of well-being and happiness. More specifically, serotonin regulates mood, appetite and sleep. Regarding the regulation of appetite, serotonin promotes the feeling of satiety. Bulimia nervosa is associated with low levels of serotonin.

Explain the theory of evolution by natural selection
vredina [299]

Answer:

Natural selection is a mechanism of evolution. Organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success. This process causes species to change and diverge over time.

Which is an accurate description of the processes used to turn the DNA code of a gene into a protein?
IRINA_888 [86]
Well, it is more about RNA than DNA when we talk about using DNA code to code for a protein.

In the RNA (complementary of the DNA)has a codon the UAGC that codes for a specific type amino acid by being have a complementary anticodon. The "partnership" of these two creates chain of amino acid that become later a protein. 

I do not know if I answered your question correctly, as I do not know how far you went in the subject.

Place the Polymerase Chain Reaction events listed below in the order in which they occur. - Double-stranded DNA is produced - DN
Contact [7]

Answer:

1- Test tube with DNA sample is placed in machine

2- DNA sample is heated

3- DNA denatures

4- Taq polymerase initiates DNA synthesis

5- Double-stranded DNA is produced

Explanation:

The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a technique widely used in molecular biology laboratories in order to produce many copies of a specific DNA sample. Thermocyclers are machines designed for a cyclic temperature change of the PCR. First, an initial denaturation step where DNA sample is heated to separate the double-stranded DNA into two single strands. Subsequently, 20-40 PCR cycles are repeated to produce millions of copies of a specific DNA sequence. There are three steps in each PCR cycle: 1-Denaturation to 94–98 °C (DNA strands are separated), 2-Annealing to 50–67 °C (primers bind to each DNA strand on the opposite ends of the DNA strands to be copied) and 3-Extension to 75–80 °C (Taq polymerase initiates the synthesis of complementary DNA strands).
