Answer:

all of the above

Explanation:

When the human genome was sequenced, one of the first information generated was related to the structure of the genetic material. For example, it has been found that there are long repeated sequences in different parts of the DNA or regulatory parts of its functioning in other parts of the genetic material itself.

When determining the order of nucleotides of a living being and comparing it with others of the same species, we find some regions that accumulate more differences than others, that is, are more diverse than others. Very similar sequences, that is, conserved in all living beings of the same species, can determine essential characteristics of these organisms. These essential characteristics can be very important for many different sectors and improve the lives of humanity in unimaginable ways.

The discoveries made through the complete sequencing of a genome can cause immense improvements in the fields of medicine, agriculture, biofuels and many other fields.

Hormones are _____.

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The correct is B Hormones are chemical signals between cells transported in blood or hemolymph.

Explanation:

Hormones are called chemical messenger of the cell because they transmit chemical information from one cell to the target cell and regulating the functioning of that target cell by activating specific proteins related to the functioning of that target cell.

Hormone is secreted from its source gland such as Pituitarygland, thyroid gland,adrenal gland.After being secreted hormones are transported via the blood stream to the target cell and binds to receptor of that target cell thus allowing the target cell to exert its biological function.

Assuming DNA is replicated correctly (so there are no mutations),

gavmur [86]

Answer:

None of the choices would lead to all identical gametes.

Explanation:

Gametes are sex cells produced by sexually reproducing organims via a process of cell division called MEIOSIS. Meiosis is a cell division process which produces four (4) daughter cells (gametes), which are genetically different from the parent cell.

The difference in genetical content is as a result of a process unique to only meiosis called CROSSING-OVER OR RECOMBINATION. This process ensures that the genetic content of the gametes are altered. Hence, since gamete formation is done via meiosis, none of the scenarios in the option will lead to all identical gametes.
