How do hormone disruptors affect the endocrine system?

Biology
1 answer:
solong [7]3 years ago

Answer:

They can mimic a natural hormone and lock onto a receptor within the cell. The disruptor may give a signal stronger than the natural hormone, or a signal that occurs at the "wrong" time.

In the peppered moth scenarios what is the variation? And the selection?
Morgarella [4.7K]

Variation is number of alleles for the wing color of the peppered moths. The wing color ranges from pure white to pure back.

Selection pressure is predation by birds.

Explanation:

In the wake of the industrial revolution, white-winged peppered moths had a large allelic frequency in the population compared to black-winged peppered moths. However, when the environment changed due to soot produced by industries (making the environment darker) white-winged peppered moths reduced while that of black moths increased.

This is because black moths were able to blend in and camouflage in the dark environment than white-winged peppered moths that stood out to their predators. Black moths, therefore, had an increased chance of reaching adulthood and passing their genes to the next generation. This increased the allelic frequency of black-winged peppered while that of white-winged moths reduced in the population.

The genes that masks the effects of other genes
kicyunya [14]

epistatic gene

Explanation:

Some genes mask the expression of other genes just as a fully dominant allele masks the expression of its recessive counterpart. A gene that masks the phenotypic effect of another gene is called an epistatic gene; the gene it subordinates is the hypostatic gene.

Which nucleic acid is pictured on the right? Justify your answer.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Nucleic Acids:

- Uracil

- Adenine

- Guanine

- Cytosine

Explanation:

Since we only have one strand shown, I'm going to assume it is RNA. Both DNA and RNA have nucleic acids, but RNA has 1 different nucleic acid; it replaces Thymine with Uracil. So the 4 nucleic acids are uracil, adenine, guanine, and cytosine.

If the picture shown is a cross-section of DNA, then our 4 nucleic acids are adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine.

These thin-walled vessels are the only ones through which exchanges are made between body cells and blood.
kvasek [131]

Answer:Capillaries  

Explanation: Capillaries are tiny, thin walled vessels that form a network to take blood through the organs and other body tissues. The dense networks of capillaries present a large surface area, which allows materials to be exchanged between body cells and the blood rapidly.
