You wish to study the impact of synthetic estrogen like hormones on the health of whales (and people). Select the organism from

the table below that would be best to use in your research. Why did you select this organism?
Model Organism Characteristics

Yeast------------------Single celled, eukaryotic (contains a nucleus)
Fruit fly---------------Multicellular, eukaryotic, invertebrate, arthropod
Zebrafish-------------Multicellular, eukaryotic, vertebrate, fish
Mouse-----------------Multicellular, eukaryotic, vertebrate, mammal


Fruit flies, because they are multicellular like whales
Mouse, because they are mammals like whales
Yeast, because they are eukaryotic like whales
Zebrafish, because they live in the water like whales

Answer:

Because humans are multicellular, eukaryotic (contains a nucleus), vertebrates, and mammals, the best organism to test the synthetic hormones on would be a mouse.

Explanation:

Humans and whales are multicellular (they have many cells) and their cells are eukaryotic (contain a nucleus). They also have a backbone (spinal column), which makes them a vertebrate. Finally, all humans and whales are mammals. Therefore, to get the best results, the testing should be performed on a mouse.

  • Performing the experiment on yeast would give good results for singular-celled organisms, like <em>protozoa</em>.
  • Performing the experiment on a fruit fly would give good results for multicellular invertebrates, like <em>spiders</em>.
  • Performing the experiment on zebrafish would give good results for all fish in general.

Damage to the liver might impair enzymatic degradation of some hormones. the levels of such hormones in the blood would therefor
Liono4ka [1.6K]
Since the liver is the primary organ for metabolism, then in the setting of liver injury there will be reduced metabolism of compounds such as hormones. If these hormones are not metabolized and degraded in the liver, then these hormone levels will increase.

<em>A particular example is that the hormone estrogen is increased in the setting of liver damage, causing males with liver failure to have feminine characteristics.</em>

One gene in the human genome may be expressed at a much higher level than another. Can differences in types of cis elements pres
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

No, CREs usually don't account for differences in gene expression levels.

Explanation:

<em>Cis</em>-regulatory elements (CREs) are non-coding DNA regions that regulate adjacent gene <em>transcription</em>. They usually do it by binding to transcription factors. They are in charge of influencing the rate of which transcription occurs, and less with how much a gene is expressed. On the other hand, trans-regulatory elements are DNA sequences that encode for upstream regulators that can modify or regulate <em>gene expression levels</em>.

Therefore, cis elements are not really in charge of expression levels, mostly transcription rates of single genes, rather. Trans elements are more involved in expression levels.
