Answer: Hypothalamus
The brain coordinates the physical changes that occur during puberty and the hypothalamus plays an especially important role in this process.
Explanation:
Since the hypothalamus controls the secretion of hormones from the pituitary gland, and the pituitary gland, also known as master gland, controls the activities of all other glands like the following:
- gonads (ovaries and testes), responsible for producing many of the sex hormones and hence, development of sexual characterictics
- thyroid, responsible for producing thyroxine, responsible for body metabolism and development.
Thus, hypothalamus plays important role in puberty
Answer:
Women who carry one copy of the mutated gene still have normal color vision because they have another copy, which is not mutated, in the other X chromosome that will be the dominant one. As a result, the women are carriers of the mutated gene but not color blind.
Explanation:
Colorblindness is a sex-linked mutation. A woman has two X chromosomes, while a man has one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. The mutated gene that causes color blindness is on the X chromosome, and it is OPN1LW. So if a woman has one mutated OPN1LW in one of her two X chromosomes, the OPN1LW gene in the other X chromosome will be the dominant one stopping the woman from being colorblind.
In the case of men, as they only have one X chromosome, if there is a mutation on the OPN1LW in the X chromosome, the men will be colorblind because there is no extra copy of the gene, as it is in women.
Answer:
There is 50 chance because there are two chromosomes that are same and two which are difeerent . XX MEANs girl XY means boys .
Answer:
D. Transport of oxygen through a placenta to a fetus.
Explanation:
Zygotes are fertilized egg cell, zygotes aren't produced in the ovaries but ovums or egg cells are produced in the ovaries. So option A is false.
Fertilization is internal not external in human. Option B is wrong.
Production of milk happens in the mammary gland (the breast) not in the reproductive system. Option C is false.
Transport of oxygen through a placenta to a fetus. The placenta is a vascular organ which is implanted in the wall of the uterus (a part of the female reproductive system) and links to the foetus through the umbilical cord.
