Answer:

The correct answer is "follicle–stimulating hormone (FSH)".

Explanation:

Follicle–stimulating hormone (FSH) is vital for the proper development and human maturation. Ovaries maturation and releasing one egg per ovarian cycle are among the biological processes that FSH regulates. FSH also stimulates oestradiol production and regulates ovaries follicular growth (the process that gave it its name). In men, FSH stimulate sperm production (spermatogenesis).

The hormone that stimulates ovaries to release one egg per ovarian cycle is called follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). This hormone is produced in the pituitary gland. Most woman will reach puberty by their teen years.

Predict phenotypes associated with nondisjunction of sex chromosomes.
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer: The new daughter cells will have an abnormal amount of genetic material. That is called aneuploidy and it is the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes. Different clinical conditions are the result of this nondisjunction.

Explanation:

Normal cells are diploids, that means they have two copies of each gene, one of each chromosome. So normal cells have two homologous chromosomes, one from each parent.

During anaphase of cell division, each pair of chromosomes is separated  by the mitotic spindle. The separated chromosomes are then pulled by the spindle to opposite poles of the cell, and eventually will end up in the new daughter cells.

Nondisjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes to separate properly during cell division, so it is the miss segregation of them. The new daughter cells will have an abnormal amount of genetic material. <u>Different clinical conditions are the result of this nondisjunction.</u>

Sex chromosomes participates in sex determination of an individual. Females have two X chromosomes (XX), while males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY) So nondisjunction of sex chromosomes could be:

  • XX: one cell with no chromosome and the other cell with two X chromosomes.
  • XY: one cell with no chromosomes and the other cell with XY chromosomes.

According to which gametes are fused during fertilization, different phenotypes can be given. For example, if a gamete with one chromosome fuses with another gamete with two chromosomes, the result will be an individual with three chromosomes (it could be XXY, or XXX) called trisomy.

Triple X syndrome is characterized by an extra X chromosome in females. Those affected are often taller than average, but most females have a normal sexual development. Klinefelter syndrome is known XXY individuals, and it causes infertility in males, breast growth, less body hair and weaker muscles.

And if a gamete with no chromosome fuses also with another gamete with no chromosome, the result is a nullisomy. But due to the lack of genetic material, the nullisomic gametes are rendered unviable for fertilization.

And if a gamete with no chromosome fuses with another gamete with one chromosome (normal) the result is a monosomy, the presence of only one chromosome from a pair. The result can be an individual who is X or Y. People with Turner syndrome have one X chromosome and it is the only monosomy that is seen in humans because other cases monosomy are lethal.

Any of those examples is called aneuploidy and it is the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes.

Why do some small bridges have weight limits that depend on how many wheels or axles the crossing vehicle has?
Sladkaya [172]
Well you know sometimes you see a lot of small bridges that will have weight limit signs. I believe this is really for safety precautions. Keyword: SMALL bridge -

Due to some bridges being small, the materials and strength of the bridge may not can withstand a certain weight. The contents of the vehicle, axels, and wheels, all add to that weight. So there is a very good reason for that to matter.
I hope my somewhat, tied together answer provides just the information you need!

An endospore may survive a drought because it is protected by a
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

b. thick wall.

Explanation:

Endospore is a structure formed by some bacteria, that help them survive unfavourable conditions (e.g. lack of nutrients). This survival strategy of some bacteria (usually Gram+ bacteria) help them stay dormant for a while, until stressful conditions stop. A thick wall composed of many layers (exosporium, spore coat, spore cortex, core wall) of the endospore is what provides resistance to different stressful chemical and physical factors such as UV radiation, temperature, chemical damage etc.
