Answer:

Hormones may be defined as the chemical messenger of the body. Hormones can be released into the particular duct or may directly release into the blood stream.

The cells can show different response to the hormone even after having the same receptor. This might occur because the single hormone can have different effects depending on the traget cells. They might have different receptors for the hormones and may also differ due to the different signal transduction pathways.

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Hormone is responsible to mediate change in the cell by binding to the hormonal receptor present on the cell. So hormone only acts on the cells which have the specific receptor for that hormone.

One cell can have many receptors for a single hormone which defines the sensitivity of cell for the hormone which is responsible for generating appropriated cellular response in the cell.  

So the number of receptors on the cell can contribute to different responses of cells having the same hormonal receptor. Every cell also have unique transduction pathway which is also responsible for different response of cell.

Luda [366]

Answer:

It is an example of parasitism

Explanation:

It is parasitism because parasitism is a symbiotic relationship that take place between two species in which one organism benefit while other suffer loss or die. The one that benefits make the other suffer loss or kill the other. The one that benefits is the parasite and the one that suffer loss is the prey.

From the question, mistletoe exhibit parasitism with other plants because it grows on them and take their nutrients and water from them making them to suffer loss of nutrients and water and some may eventually die.

In deducing the evolutionary relationships among dogs, do you think it would be better to use a sequence that is neutral or one
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

a neutral marker

Explanation:

A gene polymorphism can be defined as the existence of two or more variants of the same gene (i.e., alleles). A polymorphism may be a difference of one nucleotide base in DNA (single nucleotide polymorphisms, SNPs) or indels (i.e., insertions and deletions). A gene under selection will have many polymorphisms in its sequence which may lead to convergence and disproportionate divergence among sequences, and thereby will be uninformative to trace the evolutionary history among individuals within a species, population, etc. Conversely, neutral molecular markers exhibit fewer nucleotide differences, it is for that reason that they are commonly used to determine genetic population structure among individuals.

The correct answers are ATMOSPHERE and BIOSPHERE. Nitrogen is most abundant in the ATMOSPHERE, but nitrogen can't be absorbed by the BIOSPHERE without the help of a special bacteria and without undergoing a process called nitrogen fixation.
