Gordon is having trouble sleeping and decides to take a supplement containing a hormone that is manufactured in the pineal. What is he most likely taking?

A) leptin

B) glucagon

C) melatonin

D) renin

Answer:

C) melatonin

Explanation:

Melatonin is a water-soluble hormone secreted by the pineal gland. The function of this hormone is to maintain the biological clock of the body. In the darkness, the sensory information from retina makes the suprachiasmatic nucleus to trigger the sympathetic postganglionic neurons of the superior cervical ganglion. The information from these ganglion makes the pineal gland to secrete melatonin causing sleepiness. A lesser amount of melatonin is secreted in the daytime. A person having trouble with sleeping would take melatonin supplements to regulate the biological clock.

Is it possible to find the same gene in two different kinds of organisms but not find the protein that is produced from that gen
Bingel [31]
Yes, quite frankly it is possible to find a same gene if you're in the same class of species, but finding the protein....I believe that's impossible because in every type of gene, you have the same proteins that make you function the same way. Without them you wouldn't be able to function properly.

If I found the same gene in all organisms that I've tested, I would be intrigued because that would be a giant step in evolution. My reason for this answer is because if you have the same gene that would technically mean we all specifically came from the same species of animals.

No, that's not true because other characteristics would eventually help us in many things, studies would help us get our brain much stronger and the intelligence level would be extraordinary.
