kolbaska11 [484]

Hypersecretion of the population from the anterior pituitary gland causes the condition of galactorrhea.

Prolactin is another name is called luteotropin and its main function is to enable mammals mostly female to produce milk. The pituitary gland secretes it in response to mating, estrogen treatment, ovulation, nursing and eating.

The pituitary gland is attached to the hypothalamus by a short stalk. The pituitary gland has two major parts.

(i)                  An anterior lobe

(ii)                Posterior lobe.

The pituitary gland is controlled by hormones and neurons that comes in the hypothalamus where it acts as a link between brain and endocrine system, and hypothalamus is the endocrine gland itself. Hypothalamus has neurons which regulate secretion of anterior lobe hormones by secreting inhibit and releasing  hormones. Every hormone produced by anterior lobe has a releasing hormone.

Prolactin and growth hormones have inhibiting hormone. Releasing hormone helps in stimulating production and it releases hormones from the anterior lobe.

Does this mechanism produce a change in individuals or populations? Explain
I am Lyosha [343]
<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

<u>mechanism:</u>  the process of evoluton .

Evolution is the process by which veriety of  modern organisms have descended from ancient ancestors. Evolution is responsible for both the remarkable similarities of all  0rganisms and the amazing diversity of that organisms  but exactly how does it work? Fundamental of  the  process of evolution  is genetic variation upon which selective forces can act in order for evolution to occur.

Examines the mechanisms of evolution focusing on:

•<u>Decent </u>: the  genetic differences that are heritable and passed on to the next generation successfully.  

• <u>mechanisms of change</u>:   Mutation, migration (gene flow), genetic drift, and natural selection are act as mechanism of change .  

• The random nature of genetic drift  and their effects .

• How variation, differential reproduction, and  heredity result in evolution natural selection .

• How different species can affect each other's evolution through co-evolution.

All of these mechanisms can cause changes in the frequencies of genes produce change in  in populations, and so all of them are mechanisms of evolutionary change. However, natural selection and genetic drift (genetic flow) cannot operate unless there is genetic variation among organisms.

Why dont plants photosynthesise in the dark
nignag [31]

Plants respire all the time, whether it is dark or light, because their cells need energy to stay alive. But they can only photosynthesize when they have light.

The oxidation of water occurs during photosynthetic electron transport during the light reactions of photosynthesis. In the absence of a source of light energy (dark reactions have no direct requirement for light energy), oxygen is not produced.
