The ability of a hormone to affect the activities of a particular cell depends on that cell having specific receptors with which

the hormone molecules can bind. The number of receptors present in a target cell is a constant, invariable number.
a) Both statements are true.
b) Both statements are false.
c) The first statement is true; the second is false.

Answer:

The correct answer is c) The first statement is true; the second is false.

Explanation:

To be able to perform its role, a hormone must bind a specific receptor in its target cell. The receptor can be located inside the cell (in cytosol) or in the surface of the cell (transmembrane receptor). By regulating the expression of the receptor, the target cell regulates the hormonal activity.

The number of hormone receptors in a cell is not constant, it can vary depending on sereral factors, such as the age of the organisms, the effect of several drugs, mutations or diseases.

Answer:

c) The first statement is true; the second is false.

Explanation:

A hormone can affect the activity of particular cell only if the cell has a specific receptor for the hormone. The receptor can be located outside or inside the cell and will only interact with its specific hormone.

As regards the number of receptors, these can vary according to age or illnesses.

vampirchik [111]
Some causes could be the mother smoking, drinking, doing drugs etc. Or even simply her body doesn’t fully accept the baby growing inside her so it acts out against it. Sounds strange but it happens. Also if the mother is sick with Zika or another virus, it can harm the baby’s growth.

A — is a protein that recognizes and responds to a signal
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

A <u><em>receptor</em></u> is a protein that recognizes and responds to a signal.

Explanation:

A receptor is a protein molecule present on the cells on which the signalling molecules can bind and generate a physiological response. Some receptor molecules can also respond to Sun and light. Each type of cell has specific receptors molecules and hence can respond to specific signals. The receptor molecules hence tend to receive signals for a cell. Molecules such as hormones bind to the receptors.

A survey reveals that 25 percent of a population of 1,000 individuals have attached earlobes (are homozygous recessive for the t
Mumz [18]

Answer:

d. pxp +2pq

Explanation:

The formula for genotype frequency for a population in Hardy-Weinburg equilibrium is as under:

                           p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where, p = dominant allele

           q = recessive allele

Here,

 p² represents frequency of homozygous dominant genotype

2pq represents frequency of heterozygous genotype

q² represents frequency of homozygous recessive genotype

Also, although the genotypes p² & 2pq are different from each other yet phenotypically they both will collectively produce dominant trait i.e. free ear lobes not attached earlobes. So the term "p² + 2pq or pxp + 2pq" represents the frequency of the individuals who show the dominant phenotype in this particular population. Dominant phenotype will comprise 75% of the population.

How are Mitosis, meiosis, Genetics, DNA and Mutations connected to one another?
jonny [76]
Mutations can occur before, during, and after mitosis and meiosis. If a mutation occurs in cells that will make gametes by meiosis or during meiosis itself, it can be passed on to offspring and contribute to genetic variability of the population
