<span>The correct
answer is c. hypothalamus to pituitary gland to adrenal glands.

When
it comes to stress, hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is responsible for
stress response. Hypothalamus releases corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH)
which binds to its receptors on the anterior pituitary gland. As a result, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is released and it stimulates the release of
cortisol from the adrenal gland. At a certain levels of cortisol, this steroid
hormone exerts negative feedback to the hypothalamic release of CRH.
Answer:
The nucleotide triplet that encodes an amino acid is called a codon. Each group of three nucleotides encodes one amino acid. Since there are 64 combinations of 4 nucleotides taken three at a time and only 20 amino acids, the code is degenerate (more than one codon per amino acid, in most cases).
Answer:
It is possible to produce an offspring from a zebra mating with a donkey. Indeed, in Florence, Italy, a male zebra mated with a female donkey and produced a striped mule.
Answer:
a. transcription
Explanation:
<em>Sugar transport in phloem is referred to as pressure flow and it involves the movement of sugar through the phloem vascular tissue from the regions where sugar is synthesized (by photosynthesis) to other parts of the plant's body that require sugar.</em>
The parts of plants where sugar is synthesized (usually the leaf) is known as sugar source while the parts where they are transported is referred to as the source. Sources are usually areas of of high osmotic concentration and high water pressure while sinks are usually areas of low osmotic concentration and low water pressure.
<em>Hence, sugar transport in the phloem can be said to be influenced by the rate of sugar production at the source (rate of photosynthesis), turgor pressure as well as sugar concentration in sinks and sources.</em>
The only option that has no known effect on sugar transport in the phloem is transcription.
The correct option is a.
