Answer: Hypothalamus
The brain coordinates the physical changes that occur during puberty and the hypothalamus plays an especially important role in this process.
Explanation:
Since the hypothalamus controls the secretion of hormones from the pituitary gland, and the pituitary gland, also known as master gland, controls the activities of all other glands like the following:
- gonads (ovaries and testes), responsible for producing many of the sex hormones and hence, development of sexual characterictics
- thyroid, responsible for producing thyroxine, responsible for body metabolism and development.
Thus, hypothalamus plays important role in puberty
Answer:
The correct answer is option (b) "addition of a drug that prevents the α subunit from exchanging GDP for GTP".
Explanation:
The G protein is a name given to a family of proteins that act as a switch in diverse cellular processes, transmitting signals from outside to inside of the cells. When a G protein receptor is activated by a neurotransmitter such as dopamine, the alpha subunit exchanges its GDP for a GTP and disassociates G-protein itself. An addition of a drug that prevents this action would prevent G protein disassociation, which would enhance the effect of stimulating G protein that acetylcholine does.

The atmosphere is divided into different regions, called layers. The layer closest to the surface is known as troposphere, after which comes the stratosphere. The stratosphere begins at an altitude of 10 miles above the surface of the earth and stretches up to 31 miles above the surface of the earth. It is the second layer of the atmosphere (beginning from the surface of the earth) and it is the region which contains ozone, which plays a vital role in stopping ultraviolet radiation from reaching the earth's surface.
