Secretes hormones that are stored in the posterior pituitary gland

Biology
1 answer:
Vinil7 [7]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Hypothalamus

Explanation:

The cell bodies of the neurosecretory cells of the paraventricular and the supraoptic nuclei of the hypothalamus synthesize the hormones oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also called vasopressin. These hormones are stored and released in blood by the posterior pituitary gland. The posterior pituitary does not synthesize hormones.

The hormones from the hypothalamus are packed into vesicles and are transported to the axon terminals of the posterior pituitary via the hypothalamic–hypophyseal tract. The hormones are stored in axon terminals and released in the blood when required.

1) 75% purple flowered and 25% white flowered. If you complete the punnett square, you'll see the combinations are PP, Pp, Pp, and pp. The capital P is dominant (purple), so you know that 3/4 combinations will be purple flowers.

2) 50%. There is a 50% chance Grace will have Huntington's disease because since the disease is dominant, it is capital letter H. When you make a punnett square, you'll see the combinations are Hh, Hh, hh, and hh. There is a 50% chance Grace will have the Hh combination.

3) Protein. Protein is the only bio-molecule out of the 4 options, and the diagram shows a protein being made.

4) Transcription. Transcription is when the genetic message from DNA is transcripted onto mRNA.
