The release of thyroid stimulating hormone i.e. TSH from  the anterior pituitary will be decreased and in turn thyroid glands will not release thyroxine in adequate amounts.

Explanation:

Hypothalamus secretes certain hormones that triggers the release of certain hormones from the pituitary glands. Among these hypothalamic hormones , Thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) is responsible for stimulating the release of TSH and prolactin from anterior pituitary. If hypothalamic cells are damaged ,TRH  will not be released and thus TSH and thyroid hormone secretion will also decrease.

In a population of 100 individuals, 50 are genotype MM, 40 are MN, and 10 are NN. What are the frequencies of the M and N allele
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

F(M) = 0.7 F(N)=0.3

Explanation:

We need to take into account that individuals NN and MM only N or M aleles respectively while MN gives just half of the allelic contribution for each. With this in mind we have the following probabilities for getting each of the alleles: MM => p(M) = 1.0 and p(N)=0.0

MN => p(M ) = 0.5 and p(N) = 0.5

NN => P(M) = 0.0 and p(N) = 1.0

With this we can calculate the frequencies of the M and N alleles in the population with 100 individuals using the following formulas

For f(M):

f(M)=\frac{1.0 (MM) + 0.5 (MN)}{Total individuals}

f(M)=\frac{1.0(50)+0.5(40)}{100}

f(M) = \frac{50+20}{100}

f(M)=\frac{70}{100}=\frac{7}{10}=0.7

The frequency of the M allele is 0.7

For f(N):

f(N)=\frac{1.0 (NN) + 0.5 (MN)}{Total individuals}

f(N)=\frac{1.0(10)+0.5(40)}{100}

f(N) = \frac{10+20}{100}

f(M)=\frac{30}{100}=\frac{3}{10}=0.3

The frequency of the N allele is 0.3

The hypothalamus controls secretion by the anterior pituitary by
VARVARA [1.3K]
The pituitary gland is often called the "main gland" of the body, as it regulates many of the activities of the endocrine glands. ... HET (thyroid stimulating hormone) stimulates the thyroid gland to release T3 and T4 to stimulate metabolism in other cells of the body.
