The pituitary gland is connected to the hypothalamus. The pituitary is a pea sized organ that controls hormones. What the hypothalamus does is control body temperature, thirst, hunger, and other homeostatic systems, and involved in sleep and emotional activity. The hypothalamus needs the pituitary to be active because the pituitary makes the decision of what people are feeling in their body, and the hypothalamus releases those feelings into the body.

AveGali [126]

The correct answer there is an exact compromise between two genes (alleles). <span>The codominance is a form of dominance when the alleles of a gene pair in a heterozygote are both fully expressed. As a result of this, offspring have a phenotype that is neither dominant nor recessive. Example of codominance is found in ABO blood types. When you have allele Ia and allele Ib the expressed blood type is AB.</span>

Species a diverged from species b 60,000 years ago. On a particular gene, they have 15 nucleotide differences. How many nucleoti

a_sh-v [17]

The given question says that b species diverged around 60,000 year ago from species a. Since the divergence, they have a nucleotide difference of 15 nucleotide.

We need to find out the nucleotide difference in another 240,000 year, which means a total of 300,000 year since divergence.

The nucleotide difference in 60,000 years = 15 nucleotide.

The nucleotide difference in 1 year = $\frac{15}{60,000}$ nucleotide.

The nucleotide difference in 300,000 years = $\frac{15}{60,000}\times 300,000$ nucleotide.

The nucleotide difference in 300,000 years = 75 nucleotide.

Hence, after another 240,000 years or 300,000 years since divergence, the species and species b would show a difference of 75 nucleotide.

In another 240,000 years, there would be 60 nucleotide difference, as 15 of the nucleotide are already different in initial 60,000 years from the total of 75 nucleotide difference in 300,000 years. So, 60 (75-15) nucleotide difference would be observed in next 240,000 years.

A close relationship between unrelated organisms in which one organism benefits and the other is unaffected is known as

Andrews [41]

Answer:
A relationship between unrelated organisms in which oneorganism get benefit and the other is not affected is known as commensalism.
Explanation:
In commensalism organism live in a symbiotic association. the best example is the growth of epiphytes on the top or surface of orchid plants. The epiphytes obtain nutrients from orhids while in return orchids have no benefit from epiphytic plants.

Write the formula that shows the release of energy by the mitochondria

Pie

Answer:

Mitochondria is the organelle where cellular respiration takes place. Cellular respiration can be described as a process in which oxygen and glucose are converted into carbon dioxide and water along with the release of ATP. This reaction can be written as:

Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Water + ATP molecules

C6H12O6 + 6O2→ 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP

The ATP made can be broken down so that energy is released.

ATP + H2O → ADP + Pi + free energy
