How is the endocrine system related to the nervous system in terms of its regulatory activity?
For one, the endocrine system uses chemical signaling (hormones, produced by glands) while the nervous system uses electrical signaling (neural impulses). The signal transmission of the nervous system is fast because neurons are interconnected, but the functions are more short-lived.
A chromosome is made of both one DNA molecule wound around small protein molecules whereas DNA is just one large molecule called deoxyribose nucleic acid.
