Explanation:

Spermatogenesis and oogenesis are both forms of gametogenesis, in which a diploid gamete cell, sperm, and eggs respectively produces haploid cells through meiosis.

Oogenesis takes place in the outermost layers of ovaries, it starts with a germ cell called oogonium, this cell will go under mitosis to increase in number, it will finish this division in a developing follicle with a secondary oocyte that will complete the meiosis if fertilized.
In spermatogenesis meiosis begins with a primary spermatocyte, after this meiotic division a haploid cell is produced, this will be the secondary spermatocyte, this will result in four sperm from each spermatocyte that goes through meiosis, they are in an inactive state until gonadotropic hormones activate them during adolescence.

I hope you find this information useful! good luck!

I added images for both processes!

Hypothesize why only one genus and species remains in the hominin group

laiz [17]

<span>Modern humans have been around for a very short period of time. There are differences in race, asian people tend to be smaller, stuff like that. The problem is different races marry and those genes mix. If Asians only married pure blood Asians, Africans only married and procreated with other Africans thanks in hundreds of thousands of years different sub species would most likely start to occur. Seeing as how human population is all connected today, that won't happen.</span>

Histamine is a chemical substance released in inflammatory and allergic responses. The histamine H1 receptor on target cells is

grin007 [14]

Answer:

-Histamine binds extracellularly to the H1 receptor.

-When histamine binds to the H1 receptor. the receptor undergoes a conformation change and binds the inactive G protein.

-Once the G protein is active, it binds to the enzyme phospholipase C, activating it.

-Histamine is likely hydrophilic.

When histamine encounters a target cell, it binds extracellularly to the H1 receptor, causing a change in the shape of the receptor. This change in shape allows the G protein to bind to the H1 receptor, causing a GTP molecule to displace a GDP molecule and activating the G protein. The active G protein dissociates from the H1 receptor and binds to the enzyme phospholipase C, activating it. The active phospholipase C triggers a cellular response. The G protein then functions as a GTPase and hydrolyzes the GTP to GDP. The G protein dissociates from the enzyme and is inactive again and ready for reuse.
