Gigantism
and acromegaly are the two diseases resulting from hyper function of the
pituitary gland.
Gigantism
and acromegaly are conditions that are nearly always due to a pituitary adenoma
that is because of excessive secretion of a growth hormone called hypersomatotropism.
<span>If GH
hypersecretion begins in childhood, before closure of the epiphyses pituitary
gigantism occurs. It is a rare condition where skeletal growth velocity and
ultimate stature are increased, but little bony deformity occurs. However,
soft-tissue swelling occurs, and the peripheral nerves are enlarged. Hypogonadotropic
hypogonadism and deferred puberty is also normally present, resulting in a
eunuchoid habitus. While Acromegaly
occurs after the growth plate cartilage fuses in adulthood, it is the same
disorder of IGF-I excess but in acromegaly, an unadorned disease that morbidity
and mortality rates are high because its often diagnosed late, where the
disease is associated with cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and respiratory
disorders and malignancies. </span>
Answer:
Different types of cells shapes effect the function of the cells. Muscle cells are shaped like they are because they have to perform a certain function to meet the critia of what the body is telling it what to do.
Explanation:
Skeletal muscle cells are located in a bundle of linear fibers. These are thin chains of the proteins actin and myosin that cause muscle contraction. The elongated shape of muscle cells allows contractile proteins to place themselves in an overlapping pattern that allows muscle flexion.
Meter is the SI unit for length. :)

Anaphase. In <span>Anaphase the sister chromatids separate from each other to the opposite sides of the cells.

Chromosomes would not separate into two nuclei. <span>Mitosis is a process cell division, where one cell divides into two identical cells.

3.
Metaphase I. <span>Meiosis prophase I is the phase in which chromosomal crossing over occurs. The phase after prophase I is metaphase I.

Its body cells would have 36 chromosomes, and its gametes would have 18 chromosomes. <span>In the gametes, there are half of the number of chromosomes present in the body cell.

A species has to adjust rapidly to a changing environment. To adjust to the environment, crossing over is necessary, and it does not occur in mitosis, but meiosis.

50 percent. Parents: Yy x yy
Offspring: Yy Yy yy yy
50 % is Yy and 50% is yy.

One parent had white eyes and the other was heterozygous for eye color. The ratio in the offspring is 50-50. The only possibility is the following:
Parents: Rr x rr
Offspring Rr Rr Rr Rr

Their fur will be a mixture of red and white hairs. The offspring will be heterozygous. They will have alleles for both red and white hairs and both will be expressed.

Both of the parents' genotype must have been Pp. The genotype of the white plant is pp since it is recessive:
Parents: Pp x Pp
Offspring: PP Pp Pp pp
One of the four is white.</span>
Hadean is the first eon of precambrian, and took place around 4.6 and 4.0 billion years ago.
