Meiosis results in daughter chromosomes with only half of the original genetic information. mitosis creates a copy of the original cell
Answer:
There is growing evidence to indicate that age-related declines in growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1, and androgen and estrogen production play a role in the pathogenesis of sarcopenia (an age-related decline in muscle mass and quality). Although GH supplementation has been reported to increase lean body mass in elderly individuals, the high incidence of adverse effects combined with a very high cost has limited the applicability of this form of therapy. The assessment of an alternative approach to enhance the GH/IGF-1 axis in the elderly by using GH-releasing hormone and other secretagogues is currently under way and is showing some promise. Testosterone replacement therapy may increase muscle mass and strength and decrease body fat in hypogonadal elderly men. Long-term randomised, controlled trials are needed, however, to better define the risk-benefit ratio of this form of therapy before it can be recommended. Available data are currently insufficient to decide what role estrogen replacement therapy may play in the management of sarcopenia. Therefore, although the evidence linking age-related hormonal changes to the development of sarcopenia is rapidly growing, it is still too early to determine the clinical utility of hormonal supplementation in the management of sarcopenia.

Answer:
cells suddenly become flaccid after stimulation because of the loss of K+
Explanation:
Nastic responses are non-directional movements of parts of plants in response to diffuse stimuli. The closinf of leaves of<em> </em><u><em>Mimosa</em></u><em> </em><em><u>pudica</u></em> when touched is a type of haptonastic response. These movements are brought about by turgor pressure changes of the leaf and the petal bases. At the bases, there are pressure sensitive swellings called pulvini which through loss of turgidity cause nastic movements.
According to research, cells go through an efflux of potassium (K) which leads to the reduction of turgor. Direct quote on Reed-Guy et al. (2017)'s paper "This mechanism is initiated when a stimulus causes an efflux of potassium within the leaf, creating a loss of turgor pressure, which closes the leaves and causes them to droop."
