The correct term to fill in the blank would be cortisol. In the context of stress hormones and the brain, cortisol has a profound effect on the hippocampus, a brain structure that plays a pivotal role in memory. Cortisol is classified as a steroid hormone which is produced by the adrenal gland. It is deemed as the stress hormone as it is released as a response to stress as part of the fight or flight process. From studies, cortisol was found to have effect on the hippocampus when present in high levels. It damage and kill the cells in that area of the brain. The hippocampus is the area of the brain that is responsible for the long term memory storage. So, when this part is damage then the storage for our memories would surely be affected.
I believe the answer is Gene splicing because they remove specific genes in order to create a transgenic organism.
I hope this helps!
Answer: Autonomic nervous system is made up of 3 divisions; Sympathetic nervous system, parasympathetic nervous system and sympathetic division. All these divisions are involuntary actions where parasympathetic is ultimately responsible for the "rest and digest" part of it. When the body is at rest the parasympathetic nervous system inhibits or lowers high energy requiring bodily functions.
This nervous system will lower any fight or flight response actions such as the release of epinephrine into the blood and enable digestion, urination and defeacation. When engaged in digestion you feel relaxed and at rest, this is solely due to the parasympathetic nevous system.
Answer:
The restriction endonucleases in bacteria (b) they provide a defense mechanism against infection by viruses
Explanation:
The restriction endonucleases is a protein that is produced by the bacterias that interacts with the DNA of them and gives protection to the bacterial cell by defending against viruses.
Is important to remember that viruses go into different organisms just with a copy of DNA that wants to replicate inside of them creating more and more copies until it breaks the hosting cell and this is how the infection spreads. This protein restricts (that's the reason of its name) or stops the replication stage of the virus DNA by cutting it into many pieces stopping in this way the spread of the infection and the death of the bacteria.
