The human body contains structures that are needed for survival, or in the case of vestigial structures, were needed for surviva

l. wisdom teeth, seen here, are vestigial third molars. human ancestors had larger jaws with more teeth. over thousands of years, man no longer needed the third molar, and they became the source of dental problems rather than an aid in survival. how does this vestigial structure support the theory of natural selection?

- Are living things only the product of their DNA? Why or why'not?
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

No, since DNA does code for certain traits, others are introduced or changed by the environment. For example, some adaptations are not coded in DNA, such as dying hair. According to the gene, hair is to be black, for example, but it can be changed to look pink. Another example is when a person is first born. When they are, some bacteria enter the system of the baby --- mostly good. Then the baby's gut will be different, and the bacteria in the gut are not coded by the DNA. So, living things are not only the product of DNA, as there are extraneous factors that affect living things as well.

Traits controlled by organellar dna do not show mendelian inheritance because
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

In mendelian inheritance, the alleles for a gene show normal dominant-recessive relationship. Chromosomes also show crossover due to which new random combination of traits is possible in the offspring. This crossover takes place between homologous chromosomes during meiosis I.

Organellar DNA like the ones present in mitochondria and chloroplast do not follow mendelian inheritance because unlike nuclear chromosomes they do not have cross over events. There is no orderly segregation of alleles during meiosis. Traits controlled by them are usually inherited as it is and usually it is from the maternal parent because paternal gamete like sperm does not contain mitochondria.

The anterior pituitary receives hypothalamic input through the portal blood supply. what is the advantage of this type of anatom
kotegsom [21]

The advantage of this type of anatomical relationship is that this enables the pituitary to receive signals before sending hormones to the rest of the body through the blood.

The anterior pituitary, a significant component of the endocrine system, is the glandular anterior lobe that, along with the posterior lobe (also known as the posterior pituitary or neurohypophysis), constitutes the pituitary gland (hypophysis).

Stress, growth, reproduction, and lactation are just a few of the physiological activities that the anterior pituitary controls.

Blood tests that assess hormone levels are frequently used to determine if the anterior pituitary and the organs it controls are functioning properly.

The hypothalamus-hypophyseal portal veins deliver hypothalamic releasing and inhibitory hormones directly to the anterior pituitary gland.

Certain hormones from the hypothalamus bind to receptors on particular anterior pituitary cells, controlling how much of the hormone they generate is released.
