Does the genetic message get altered when the information is conveyed intracellularly under normal conditions? Support your answ
IRINA_888 [86]

Genetic transmission is the mechanism that drive evolution.Asexually reproducing organisms reproducing organisms reproduce using mitosis, while the sexually reproducing organisms reproduce using meiosis.

Both these mechanisms are involved in duplication of DNA which then get passed to offspring and RNA is key component in the duplication of DNA. The genetic information heritable biological information coded in the nucleotide sequence of DNA or RNA.

Genetic material is includes genes and DNA which control the development , maintenance and reproduction of organisms. These messages is passed from generation to generation through inherited units of chemical information. It consist of only two transcription and translation they known as gene expression , during this process of transcription store in gene DNA is passed to similar molecule called RNA in nucleus.

What statement about the mechanism of hunger and satiety is true?
disa [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is: The ventromedial hypothalamus plays a role in satiety.​

Explanation:

The hypothalamus is a part of the brain that controls many important bodily functions and connects both the nervous system with the endocrine system. The hypothalamus consists of several nuclei that have diverse functions and are located in 3 different regions.

The nucleus that plays a role in satiety is the ventromedial nucleus, terminating hunger and giving a sensation of fullness. It also plays a significant role in thermoregulation, among other things.

Neuropeptide Y, on the other hand, is a peptide that is released to make us feel hungry and encourage us to intake food (primarily carbohydrates).

Cholecystokinin is a hormone released by the small intestines after we had a meal, and its function is to improve digestion and make us feel full.

Fat cells DO release leptin, but the function of this hormone is to produce satiety, by stimulating anorexigenic (meaning they take hunger away) hormones and inhibiting orexigenic ones, like Neuropeptide Y.

Understanding types of symbiosis Interspecific interactions can be categorized by whether each species in the interaction benefi
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

a. parasitism:

The parasite benefits by harming the host e.g hookworms and humans

b. commensalism

In this association, one species benefits while the other is unaffected (its not harm and dies not benefit) e.g. epiphytic orchids and trees

c. mutualism

Here, both species benefit as seen in rumen bacteria and cows

Explanation:

Parasitism = +/- relationship

The predator benefits by harming the host. E.g. hookworms and humans. The hookworm (parasite) eat man blood while man (host) loses blood to it.

Commensalism = +/0 relationship

One specie(s) benefits while the other specie(s) neither benefits nor is harmed. E.g. epiphytic orchids live on tree branches or tree trunks as it's habitat or shelter while the trees neither benefits nor is harmed

Mutualism = +/+ relationship

Both organisms benefit in this relationship. E.g. rumen microbes aids grass digestion in cows, while the microbes benefit as it obtain steady food or nutrient from the cow
