In experiments where researchers suspect that a hormone may be responsible for a certain physiological effect, they may cut the

neurons leading to the organ where the effect being studied occurs. What is the purpose of cutting these neurons?
A) to make sure that the effect is not occurring through actions in the nervous system
B) to make sure that the organ being affected cannot function unless the researchers stimulate it with an external electrical probe
C) to impair the normal functions of the organ so that the hormonal effect can be more easily studied
D) to numb the organ so that it can be probed without inducing pain in the lab animal

Answer:

A) To make sure that the effect is not occuring through actions in the nervous system

Explanation:

In the above scenario, researchers actually studies the effect of hormone to the organ but they are in a situation to study the effect on organ are either hormone base or nervous system base (neurons). For this reason they will cut the neurons to study the effect of hormone on the organ.

So, to check the effect of hormone they should cut the neurons to make sure these effect are not due to actions of nervous system.

Answer:

A) to make sure that the effect is not occurring through actions in the nervous system

Explanation:

The endocrine system secretes hormones whose function is to connect the nervous system with different parts of the body. Moreover, neurotransmitters are hormone-like molecules that are secreted by both neural and non-neural cells and play analogous functions to the hormones secreted by the endocrine system

The enzyme telomerase solves the problem of replication at the ends of linear chromosomes by which method?
adell [148]
<h2>Answer </h2>

The method is by adding various small DNA chains such as TTAGGG, that develop a hairpin turn.

<u>Explanation </u>

The method is by adding various small DNA chains such as TTAGGG, that develop a hairpin turn. Telomerase is an RNA dependent DNA polymerase means an enzyme that can make DNA using RNA as a template. The ends of linear chromosomes called telomeres that protect genes from getting deleted as cells continue to divide. The telomerase enzyme attaches to the end of chromosome complementary bases to RNA template are added on 3 ends of the DNA strand.

In need a short answer about cancer and the pahse
zzz [600]

Explanation: okay so cells have this mechanism to kill themselves if a bad mutation happens but when that breaks and the cell can longer do that it is considered a cancer cell the cell will continue to mutated and multiply if mutated enough it will be able to hide itself with regular cells, from the  immune system after a long time it will get veins to give all the nutrition to the cancer cells making it grow more if lucky it will multiply and mutated  but this mutations makes it think its a regular cell creating a cancer tumor

now cancer is beating cancer. eventually it will take over but you will have god cancer

Sometimes a mutation is beneficial to an organism’s fitness and can be passed on to offspring. What is likely to happen to the m
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The mutation will become more common in offspring and increase the genetic variability in the gene pool.

Explanation:

If the mutation is beneficial to the organism and this organism breeds its offspring may carry this gene, if it´s really beneficial and for example makes an organism to have more access to females the mutation may spread faster.

The only way for a mutation to spread to other organisms is reproduction (eukaryotes)

A mutation may also spread to other organisms in prokaryotes in which bacteria may take plasmids (DNA fragments) from the environment.
