Answer:

C: autocrine

Explanation:

There are three types of hormones according to where their target cells are.

  • Endocrine: Their target cells are distributed far and they travel via blood to reach the target cells.
  • Paracrine: Their target cells are often their neighbors so they often diffuse to reach them
  • Autocrine: Their secretion acts on themselves. Hence they are their own targets.

What are they five steps of cloning?
Luda [366]

Hi

Below are five major steps of DNA or gene cloning:

1: You chose the gene or specific piece of DNA you need to clone and cut the gene with restriction enzymes from the source organism.

2: You need to choose a vector for the process of cloning and you will cut the vector with same restriction enzymes through which you have cut your target DNA sequence to be inserted into the vector.

3: You place the target gene into the vector and join or seal the gene with vector by using an enzyme called DNA ligase.

4: You introduce the vector with your target gene into a suitable host organism such as yeast or bacteria through the process of Transformation. In this process host organism takes up the vector containing your target gene and starts replicating the target DNA along with their own DNA and thus creating millions of copies of target gene .

5: In the last step, the DNA or target gene is isolated from host organism and purified and is ready to be used since its quantity has been enormously increased through the process of cloning.

The cloning is also called as recombinant DNA technology and is the main process that is being used in the production of insulin for diabetes patients. You can see below image for better understanding.

Hope it help!

Explain how answering questions would help the genetic counselor understand the specific genetic causes and severity of the pers
vodka [1.7K]

A genetic counselor is a health-care worker who has received specialized training. They are experts in medical genetics as well as counseling.

  • For people who are affected by hereditary diseases, genetic testing brings a slew of questions and concerns.
  • Therefore, genetic counselors assist in identifying families/members of families that may be at risk of developing a genetic condition.
  • They may also assist in collecting and analyzing family history and inheritance patterns, calculating recurrence risks.
  • After getting all the relevant information, they can then provide information about genetic testing and related treatments.
