Kisspeptin is a protein in humans that has an important role in initiating secretion of the releasing factor gonadotropin-releas

ing hormone (GnRH). Endocrinologists are finding that the protein kisspeptin and its receptor are central to sexual maturation at puberty. Neurons that release kisspeptin carry estrogen receptors. If this is a negative feedback system, high levels of estrogen would be expected to: decrease kisspeptin synthesis. increase kisspeptin synthesis. neither increase nor decrease kisspeptin synthesis because steroid hormones do not affect protein synthesis.

Answer:

decrease kisspeptin synthesis

Explanation:

Kisspeptin is a protein involved in the regulation of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH): it stimulates the secretion of GnRH. GnRH than stimulate the release of gonadotropins such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary gland. FSH stimulates the  production of estrogens by the granulosa cells of the ovarian follicles.

In negative feedback system, high levels of estrogen will bind to their receptors on neurons that release kisspeptin and inhibit its further release.

A sunflower is an angiosperm, and a gingko is a gymnosperm. Which best describes the life cycles of sunflowers and gingkoes? I.
dalvyx [7]

The correct statements are I, III and IV.

An angiosperm refers to a plant, which exhibits flowers and generates seeds enveloped within a carpel. The angiosperms include a large group of herbaceous plants, grasses, shrubs, and the majority of trees. While gymnosperms refer to the plants that exhibit seeds but not safeguarded by any kind of fruit or ovary. It includes the cycads, gingko, and conifers.

Both the angiosperm (sunflower) and gymnosperm (gingko) are seed-bearing plants. However, the seeds of a sunflower are safeguarded by a flower or fruit, while for the gingko, there is no mechanism like that, i.e, there is not any kind of protection. Additionally, sunflower exhibit phenomenon of double fertilization, which is not witnessed in the case of gingko.

DNA contains the template needed to copy itself, but it has no catalytic activity in cells. What catalyzes the formation of phos
inna [77]

Answer:

DNA polymerases

Explanation:

The formation of a phosphodiester bond between adjacent nucleotides is catalyzed by the DNA polymerases. They do this efficiently only if the incoming base on the incoming nucleoside triphosphate is complementary to the base on the template strand and can bind efficiently.
