Gigantism
and acromegaly are the two diseases resulting from hyper function of the
pituitary gland.
Gigantism
and acromegaly are conditions that are nearly always due to a pituitary adenoma
that is because of excessive secretion of a growth hormone called hypersomatotropism.
<span>If GH
hypersecretion begins in childhood, before closure of the epiphyses pituitary
gigantism occurs. It is a rare condition where skeletal growth velocity and
ultimate stature are increased, but little bony deformity occurs. However,
soft-tissue swelling occurs, and the peripheral nerves are enlarged. Hypogonadotropic
hypogonadism and deferred puberty is also normally present, resulting in a
eunuchoid habitus. While Acromegaly
occurs after the growth plate cartilage fuses in adulthood, it is the same
disorder of IGF-I excess but in acromegaly, an unadorned disease that morbidity
and mortality rates are high because its often diagnosed late, where the
disease is associated with cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and respiratory
disorders and malignancies. </span>
Answer:
Why is the alarm calling of the vervet monkey an example of advanced communication? <em>The response is learned and stays consistent over time</em>
Explanation:
As a result of biological clock which is set by every living organism, which comes as a result of continuous experience of a thing over a period of time. At a point the body system adapts and react exactly when such occurrence happens like that of alarm calling of the vervet monkey
Answer: The correct answer for the first question is- B) Mechanical.
Adaptation can be described as a process of change in an organism over time that facilitates its survival in the changing environmental conditions. It results due to mutation or genetic change in the individual that gives a benefit to the organism. It exhibits change in structure ( like succulent plants in desert), function, or behavior.
Mechanical is not a type of adaptation as it deals with movement of objects.
The correct answer for second question is- C) Variations.
Variation among organisms in a population results from change in the genetic material or their genetic sequences. Change at the genetic level is thus reflected in the phenotypes ( like different color of feathers in birds).
Thus, difference is in the feather color reflects variations.
Lets say that the genotypes are:
Male affected:XbY
Male unaffected: XaY
Female affected: XbXb
Female carrier: XaXb
Female unaffected:XaXa
P: XbY x XaXa
F1: XaXb XaXb XaY XaY The middle square is female carrier.
P:XbY x XaXb
F1: XaXb XbXb XaY XbY The left square is affected female.
P:XaY x XbXb
F1: XaXb XaXb XbY XbY The right square is affected male.
