A frog has a genetic mutation in its skin cells that causes part of its skin to turn orange. The frog will not pass this genetic

mutation onto its offspring because
parents do not contribute genetic material to their offspring.

skin cells do not contribute genetic material to sex cells.

mutated skin cells cannot divide and produce daughter skin cells.

the offspring will inherit skin cells from the other parent.

Answer : The correct answer is -

skin cells do not contribute genetic material to sex cells.

Sex cells are the haploid, reproductive cells (also known as gametes, such as sperms and egg) that are produced by parents through gametogenesis (oogenesis in female and spermatogenesis in male).

They are crucial for reproduction in sexually reproducing organisms (like humans) as they fuse together and form a diploid zygote (containing the genetic material of each parent) which develops into fetus.

On the other hand, skin cells are the somatic cells (that are diploid) and do not contribute in the reproductive cycle.

This means that their genetic material is not contributed to the sex cells.

Thus, the frog with genetic mutation in its skin cells will not pass it to the offspring.

I think it is A as well because skin cells do not contribute genetic material to sex cells.

1.Identify the role of endocrine glands in growth/development, and in regulation of metabolism.
DIA [1.3K]

In this question we are going to answer a series of questions about the human endocrine system, hormone release and homeostasis.

<h3>What is human endocrine system, hormone release and homeostasis?</h3>

1. Endocrine glands produce hormones and release them directly into the bloodstream.

Hormones are the products of secretion from the endocrine glands. They control various activities in the human body, hence the importance of these glands.

2. It is through the feedback mechanism that, for example, the regulation of hormone secretion and the control of temperature and blood pressure occur.

Thanks to this control, it is possible to guarantee the harmony of the systems and, consequently, the homeostasis (balance of the internal environment).

3. Hormones can be divided into four groups, based on their chemical structure,form of synthesis and storage, solubility, half-life, form of transport, receptors on cell and mechanism of action:

  • Peptides
  • Steroids
  • Amines
  • and Eicosanoids.

Both positive and negative feedback are extremely important for our body to function properly. However, these two mechanisms have differences. In negative feedback, the body produces a response that reduces the initial stimulus, while in positive feedback, the response reinforces the stimulus.

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. <span>The biodiversity and distribution of penguin species in the Antarctic Peninsula are changing as sea ice disappears. This is caused by the climate change which causes glaciers to melt down rising the sea levels. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

When atp is used by a cell to provide the energy for cellular work, the usual end products left over from the atp molecule are ADP

<u>Explanation:</u>

Like every other living thing that needs energy to survive the cells also needs energy for the proper functioning of the organism. Through Cellular respiration the cells derive energy in the form of ATP molecules.  

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) releases energy to the required cell by transferring one phosphate and then becoming Adenosine diposphate (ADP).

Then after it releases energy it is all set up to absorb another phosphate molecule to become ATP. And this is the simple process of acquiring and transferring energy to the cells.
