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.

Similarities between seemingly unrelated organisms can be explained by Darwin s theory that organisms come from common ancestors
svetoff [14.1K]

Through this process of the evolution, new species are developed over time. A single population may give rise to different species. These newly evolved species share similarities will each other as they have the same ancestor.

Hence, the given statement is 'true'.

Answer:

The DNA is a double helix or made up of two strands. The strands are separated during replication, each serving as a template to produce a complementary strand of each of the separated single strands. Therefore after replication, two double stranded DNA molecules will be present.
