QveST [7]3 years ago
3 0
Answer: Your pituitary gland is an important pea-sized organ. If your pituitary gland doesn't function properly, it affects vital parts like your brain, skin, energy, mood, reproductive organs, vision, growth and more. It's the “master” gland because it tells other glands to release hormones.

True or false conductive hearing loss results from damage to the inner ear or the vestibularcochlear nerve
pickupchik [31]
Conductive hearing loss occurs from either (1) blockage from the external ear or (2) damage to any components of the middle ear; hence the answer here is false. Hearing loss that results from damage to the inner ear or the vestibulocochlear nerve is called <em>sensorineural hearing loss</em>. 

<em>The most common cause of sensorineural hearing loss is noise-induced hearing loss due to prolonged exposure to high decibel environments (i.e. machine workers). </em>

The idea that, when life originated on earth, a macromolecule other than dna served the role of information storage and that thi
svet-max [94.6K]

The RNA world hypothesis states that the earlier life-forms had relied only on RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) for the purpose of catalyzing the chemical reactions, and storing the genetic information. This hypothesis was proposed by Leslie Orgel, Carl Woese, and Francis Crick.

This hypothesis states that long before the living forms evolved to use DNA as the genetic storage material, the RNA molecules served the purpose of both storing the genetic information and carrying out catalysis, but because of its instability, DNA evolved.

Hence, the answer is RNA world hypothesis.

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Quoted from my.clevelandclinic.org, "The ovaries produce the egg cells, called the ova or oocytes. The oocytes are then transported to the fallopian tube where fertilization by a sperm may occur. The fertilized egg then moves to the uterus, where the uterine lining has thickened in response to the normal hormones of the reproductive cycle."
