Answer: Natural selection is one of the forces of evolution and the enviroment where the species lives is the selection agent. For example, suppose a mosquitoes population in a environment free from insecticides, in this environment there's a high frequency of non-resistant mosquitoes because the environment is not  exerting any pressure on the resistence trait. But when the environment changes and we use a insecticide upon the mosquitoes population, the populations changes because the non-resistant ones die but those resistant survive and beggin to reproduce more effectively. That's natural selection, differences in survival and reproduction between individuals with different phenotypes (traits) and this differences depend of environmental changes.

notka56 [123]

Answer:

The correct answer is the third statement.

Explanation:

In humans, the males possess one X and one Y chromosome, while the females possess two X chromosomes. Thus, the female always donates X chromosome to the gamete. In any case, the female always generates a similar kind of gamete. While the male either pass X or the Y chromosome to the progeny.  

When the gamete with the X chromosome combines with the female gamete than the offspring would possess XX chromosomes and will be a female. On the other hand, when the gamete comprising the Y chromosome combines with the female gamete than the offspring would possess the XY chromosome and will be a male. Thus, it is the father who determines the gender of the offspring.

They are transported in the circulatory system of the body

The action of hormones can be seen after the hormone has bound to its specific receptor found inside the cell.

For instance, steroid hormone and the thyroid hormones can pass through the plasma membrane to their receptors inside the cells.

When they bind with their receptors, the target cells will synthesize specific proteins that produce the characteristic effect of the hormone.
