Answer:

<h2>2. Peter's maternal grandfather has PKU.</h2>

Explanation:

  • Such type of the genetic disorder in which two copies of a gene must be mutated at a time is called autosomal recessive disorder such as sickle cell anemia, phenylketonuria, and some other diseases.
  • When a sing copy of a gene is mutated in a person then this disorder is not appeared and the person is called a carrier.
  •  So when a child is born by two carrier parents then there is a chance that a child will be affected if both the parents donate mutated genes.
  • In the case of Peter, since peter does not show this defect this means his maternal grandfather was affected by this disorder.

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Hypothalamus and anterior pituitary gland.

Explanation:

Lower levels of T3 and T4 in the blood or lower metabolic rate serve as signal and stimulate the release of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) from the hypothalamus. The TRH stimulates the anterior pituitary gland to release thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) which in turn makes the thyroid gland to release the thyroid hormones.

The elevated levels of thyroid hormones inhibit the release of TRH from the hypothalamus and that of TSH from the anterior pituitary gland.

Hence, the cells of hypothalamus and anterior pituitary gland would be inhibited by the binding of thyroid hormone to regulate the release of these hormones by a negative feedback mechanism.
