Answer:

Shivering and sweating.

Explanation:

A prolonged exposure to extreme cold environment would activate the brain's heat-gain center. Your brain's heat-gain center causes shivering in order to increase our muscle contraction which leads to warming of our body.  Increase sweating is the regulatory processes our body use if it experience very high temperature. In order to regulate internal temperature of body, our body remove water which takes up heat with itself to lower th internal temperature.

Compare and contrast point mutations and chromosome mutations and explain the basis for classifying a mutation as beneficial, ne
zepelin [54]
<span>Point mutations are of two types: Substitutions of bases that are the change of one base of DNA by another. And Transitions that are replaced on a pyrrhic basis by another pyrrhic or a pyrimidine by another pyrimidine. Transversions: substitution of a pyrrhic base by another pyrimidine or vice versa. These mutations are negative because they affect only one of the nucleotides, and therefore, only one triplet of bases are affected. When the mutation does not affect the individual it is a silent mutation. Chromosomal mutations Changes in the structure of the diploid chromosomes, where one of the chromosomes has a mutation, will have another normal. They can hinder the process of meiosis in the carrier since it hinders the correct pairing of the homologous chromosomes. It would produce an unfeasible offspring or with mutations.</span>

Consider what you have learned about the role of genes, and in some cases their interaction with environmental factors, in human
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

to adopt a healthy lifestyle in order to prevent and/or reduce the risk of developing complex diseases

Explanation:

Complex genetic diseases are diseases that have a genetic basis but often don't show a clear pattern of inheritance, i.e., the genes that encode for the trait of interest are localized in quantitative trait <em>loci </em>(QTL). In general, complex genetic diseases are multifactorial because both genetic and environmental factors play important roles in the development of this type of disease. Some well-known examples of multifactorial genetic diseases include, among others, heart diseases, diabetes, asthma, some type of cancers, etc. It is well known that healthy lifestyle habits such as maintaining a healthy weight, eating healthy foods, avoiding harmful substances, etc., can prevent complex genetic conditions from manifesting.

Destruction of the majority of the adrenal cortex would most likely result in decreased levels of ___________ and glucocorticoid
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Destruction of the majority of the adrenal cortex would most likely result in decreased levels of mineralocorticoids, sex corticoids and glucocorticoids.

Explanation:

Adrenal glands are conical pyramid shaped glands. A pair of glands present above each kidney. It has an outer adrenal cortex region and inner adrenal medulla. Cortex and medulla secrete different hormones and are also regulated in different ways.

Adrenal cortex has three layers:

a. Outer zona glomerulosa: secretes mineralocorticoids like aldosterone - regulates the metabolism of sodium and potassium.

b. Middle zona fasciculata: secretes glucocorticoids like cortisol - regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

c. Inner zona reticularis: secretes sex corticoids like Androstenedione -  stimulates the development of external sexual characteristics in males.

In a condition called Addison's disease, major part of the adrenal cortex is destroyed which results in deficiency of both mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids. Symptoms include bronze like pigmentation of skin, low BP, low plasma levels of Na+, high plasma levels of K+, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
