Testosterone is a steroid. Its physiological functions are:
Determines the the gender of a developing embryo
Development of reproductive organs and the prostrate gland in males
Responsible for secondary sexual characteristics in males such as deeper pitch, increased muscle bulk, hair on the upper lip
Regulates normal sperm development
Another is cholesterol. Physiological functions are:
Helps maintain the structure of cells and vessels improving overall health and function in the body.
Percursor to important sex hormones such as testosterone and estrogen.
Used as an insulator around nerves and is absolutely essential for brain function.
Precursor to Vitamin D, which supports a healthy immune and nervous system
Answer:
Cloning may be defined as the process by which the genetically identified individual of the organism can be created artifically or naturally. Aseual reproduction results in the formation of clone.
The microsatellite analysis is used to prove that snuppy is a clone. Microsatellites are the highly variable DNA sequences repeats that has variable loci and considered at population level. The two alleles are possible for the one microsatellite locus. After comparing the alleles it has been found that snuppy has exactly the same genetic material as the surrogate mother, afghan. This completely determines that snuppy is a clone of afgan.
Answer:
a. Biomagnification
Explanation:
Biomagnification is the name given to the progressive accumulation of substances from one trophic level to another along a food chain. Thus, the substance will have its highest concentration in individuals who occupy trophic levels furthest from producers.
For biomagnification to occur, substances must be fat soluble (lipid soluble) and thus adhere to living tissues. Another feature of substances that undergo biomagnification is that they are generally not biodegradable or metabolized by the body.
The phenomenon is quite common with heavy metals (lead; mercury) and certain chlorinated and aromatic organic compounds with higher molecular mass, such as the insecticide DDT.
No if it is squared it is a parabola. To be linear it has to be. A straight line
