Answer:

The two major differences lies in the function and support system.

Explanation:

The two major differences between an endocrine and an exocrine system are as follows –

a) An endocrine system releases its produce (hormones) into the connective tissue i.e blood while the exocrine system releases hormones directly into the ducts so that it could reach the targeted tissue directly.

For example – the Adrenal gland is an endocrine gland that secretes adrenaline directly into the blood. The salivary gland is an exocrine gland that releases its produce into the collecting duct leading to mouth. However, Pancreas is both endocrine and exocrine gland.

b) The endocrine system cannot work alone therefore it works in coordination with the nervous system to control actions and balance the body. However, the exocrine system works independently

C) One plant with genotype YySs is crossed with another plant with the same genotype. Use the Punnett

Volgvan

Answer:

(See Attached Punnet Sq)

Explanation:

There are two genes here represented different alleles (Yy & Ss). According to Mendelian law, the principle of independent assortment applies to mean each allele has equal chances of ending up in a gamete. Therefore each gamete can have either allele of the two genes as shown in the punnet square. The combinations of the offspring are therefore numerous.

What is the difference between light microscope and electron microscope

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Electron microscopes differ from light microscopes in that they produce an image of a specimen by using a beam of electrons rather than a beam of light. Electrons have much a shorter wavelength than visible light, and this allows electron microscopes to produce higher-resolution images than standard light microscopes.
