Given that our model finch population is capable of rapid evolution in response to a changing environment, explain why you think

it, nonetheless, sometimes goes extinct. (if you need a hint, you might look back to exercise 1, which discusses the genetics behind finch beak size.)

Darwin's finches are a traditional illustration of an adaptive radiation. Their ancestor came on the Galapagos Island about two million years ago. With time Darwin's finches have developed into fifteen different species separated on the basis of beak shape, body size, and feeding and song behavior.  

The population of finches possesses the tendency of evolving rapidly in response to a changing environment. However, they can also get extinct in condition if the weather fluctuates too briskly between the dry and wet seasons. This would most likely take place due to the immigration of genes and mutations within the genes that are conducted on to the next generations.

An autoimmune problem involving the thyroid gland. Hyposecretion of growth hormone. Hyposecretion of the pancreas. Hyposecretion
Oliga [24]

Answer:

An autoimmune problem involving the thyroid gland: C. Graves' disease

Hyposecretion of growth hormone: Pituitary dwarfism

Hyposecretion of the pancreas: E. Diabetes mellitus

Hyposecretion of the adrenal cortex: B. Addison's disease

Hypersecretion of growth hormone: A. Acromegaly

Explanation:

Growth hormone is the hormone from the anterior pituitary gland that targets the tissues such as muscles, bones, cartilage, liver, etc. and stimulates the somatic growth of the body. Its hypersecretion leads to acromegaly in adults while its hyposecretion causes dwarfism in children characterized by stunted growth. There is abnormal thickening of specific bones in acromegaly.  

Pancreatic hormone insulin serves to lower down the blood glucose levels. Insulin deficiency causes diabetes mellitus characterized by higher blood glucose levels in the affected person.  

Hyposecretion of glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoid from adrenal cortex causes Addison's disease characterized by rapid weight loss, lower levels of glucose and sodium in plasma while a rise in potassium levels.  

Grave's disease is an autoimmune disease wherein the thyroid gland is stimulated for increased secretion of thyroxine resulting in protruded eyeballs.

Brut [27]

Answer:

The generation of nitric oxide is done by almost every kind of cell present in the human body, it is one of the essential constituents that plays an important function in maintaining proper health of blood vessels. The nitric oxide acts as a vasodilator, that is, it relaxes the blood vessels' inner muscles, thus making the blood vessels to broaden.  

Therefore it can be concluded that nitric oxide enhances the flow of blood and thus reduces the blood pressure. In this manner, nitric oxide helps in tackling the symptoms of conditions like angina.  

At the molecular level. the activation of guanylyl cyclase is done by nitric oxide, which further catalyzes the production of cGMP. This cGMP further functions as an intracellular messenger in a pathway that results in the relaxation of the smooth muscles.
