Steroid hormone

  • The cell signaling pathways induced by the steroid hormones regulate specific genes within the cell's DNA. The hormones and receptor complex act as transcription regulators by increasing or decreasing the synthesis of mRNA molecules from specific genes.
  • Steroid hormones are not able to target every cell within the body, so the overall response is slower. They bind to receptors on the cell's surface and the receptors aid in helping the steroid hormones enter the cell.
  • Hormones work by binding to protein receptors either inside target cells or on their plasma membranes. The binding of a steroid hormone forms a hormone-receptor complex that affects gene expression in the nucleus of the target cell.
  • Steroids pass into a cell's nucleus, bind to specific receptors and genes and trigger the cell to make proteins.

The offspring would be X'X' _ X'X_ X'Y_ XY
The ratio would be 1:1 normal to colorblind

Unicellular organisms that have a nucleus and can swim with the aid of cilia are examples of
yanalaym [24]
The correct answer is Protozoans.
Protozoans are best described as uni-celled eukaryotic organisms, both free-residing or parasitic, which feed on organic matter together with different microorganisms or organic tissues and particles. back then, the protozoa have been seemed as "one-celled animals," because they regularly possess animal-like behaviors, together with motility and predation, and lack a mobile wall, as discovered in plant life and plenty of algae.

Sea anemones can reproduce sexually or asexually. What would be the most likely advantage a sea anemone would have to reproduce
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Re-producing sexually will allow the sea anemones to give their offspring a more diverse gene pool and can mitigate the risks of a genetic disorder being spread to the offspring because the bad gene has a higher chance become recessive if the gene of the anemone it mates with is more dominant (meaning it wouldn't allow the "bad" gene to show in the offspring) whereas otherwise, the offspring would have the same issues the mother did (assuming it had a bad gene to begin with).

How did fossil<br> fuels form, and how<br> are they obtained<br> and used?
Usimov [2.4K]

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are important energy sources for our every day activities.

  Formation of fossil fuels

Fossil fuels forms from the accumulation and burial of organisms in a basin of deposition. Instead of the organisms decaying, they preserve their carbon content. To be worthy of becoming fossil fuels, organisms must be buried in an environment where there is little to no oxygen to fast-track decomposition of the buried organic matter. Increase in temperature and pressure causes the organic matter to transform into fossil fuels.

How are they obtained

First, different fossil fuels have their extraction techniques because they occur in different physical state of matter.

For the solids e.g coal: exploration is carried out first and if a prospect is delineated, mining engineers design the best way to extract the coal from nature. Coal is usually found laid in sedimentary beds in nature. Top layers of sediments can be removed to extract the coal.

For fluids such as crude oil and natural gas, after a prospect is identified, a rig is usually constructed to extract the fluid and gas. The natural pressure allows for the fluids the rise within the drill used in extraction.

How are they used

Coal and gas are used to power electrical generating plants. They are used to heat steams which drives turbines and produce electricity.

Natural gas is used as a domestic fuel for cooking and so also coal.

When crude is processed a lot of product is obtained. Gasoline is used to power most internal combustion engines. Some chemicals useful for manufacturing plastics, drugs e.t.c are also derived from the processed crude.
