Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) typing is used in forensic science for it serves as an important tool in determining the recovered damaged, degraded or small sample source of the DNA.

After a steroid hormone binds to its intracellular receptor, transcription of specific genes occurs. How does this happen?.
Tju [1.3M]

After a steroid hormone binds to its intracellular receptor, transcription of specific genes occurs. The activated receptor moves into the nucleus and binds to DNA

<h3>What is steroid hormone and intracellular receptor ?</h3>

Target cells have steroid hormone receptors in their nuclei, cytoplasm, and plasma membranes. They are typically intracellular receptors (often cytoplasmic or nuclear) that start the signalling processes for steroid hormones, which modify the expression of genes over the course of hours to days.

  • By attaching to intracellular receptors, steroid hormones control cellular functions by changing the expression of specific nucleotide sequences. Since the majority of steroid receptors in target cells reside in the cytoplasm, they must enter the nucleus to change gene expression.

Ecosystems have trouble adjusting to short-term changes.
ExtremeBDS [4]

Ecosystems have trouble adjusting to short-term changes - This is false.

Eco system changes can be long term and short term. Few short-term environmental changes that can change an eco system are -  drought, smog, volcanic eruptions, floods etc. An ecosystem can easily adapt to short-term changes. For example, after a forest fire plants can re-grow from their roots.  Many species have features to help them cope with natural, short-term environmental changes.
