The endocrine system is composed of the following:
1) hypothalamus
2) pituitary gland
3) thyroid and parathyroids
4) adrenal glands
5) pineal gland and gonads
6) pancreas
Pituitary gland is involved in gigantism. Pituitary gland produces the growth hormone. Excessive growth hormone released by the pituitary may result to gigantism.
The enlargement of the thyroid gland is called goiter. It is a symptom of hypherthyroidism, a condition wherein levels of thyroid hormones in the blood are highly excessive.
Answer:
The correct answer is 160.
Explanation:
Based on the given question, the total number of fruit flies is 1000, of which red eye flies are 640. Thus, the number of sepia eye flies will be 1000-640 = 360.
On the basis of the Hardy-Weinberg equation, p+q = 1, in which p is the rate of recurrence of one allele, that is, dominant and q is the rate of recurrence of the other allele, that is, recessive.
q^2 for the population is 360/1000 = 0.36, q = 0.6.
Therefore, p = 1-q = 1-0.6 = 0.4.
The frequency of homozygous dominant allele is denoted by p^2 = 0.16.
Hence, the number of homozygous dominant for red eye color would be 16% of 1000 which will be equal to 160.
Answer:
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) associates with a set of proteins to form ribosomes. These complex structures, which physically move along an mRNA molecule, catalyze the assembly of amino acids into protein chains. They also bind tRNAs and various accessory molecules necessary for protein synthesis.
