<h2>The correct answer is: Endocrine system.</h2>

Explanation:

  • The Endocrine system is comprised of a number of glands which synthesize and secrete bio-chemical signals directly into the blood stream.
  • These bio-chemical signals are made of peptides, proteins or steroids and are called Hormones.
  • These hormones act on the target organs or tissues which are usually located far away from the site of production or synthesis of the hormone.
  • They can act on only those organs which have the receptors capable of recognizing the hormone.
  • They are responsible for regulating growth, development, metabolism, reproduction, sleep and other short and long term activities in the body.
  • Their production and synthesis is highly regulated and small quantities of these chemical messages are capable of bringing about drastic response in the cells, tissue, organs or the whole body.

Zielflug [23.3K]

Rhinoviruses are transmitted through the air or via contact. We might expect this sort of transmission to require a fairly healthy host (one who gets out and comes into contact with others) and, hence, to select against virulent strains. If we take precautions and try to stay away from people or avoid any contact with people, more hand-washing stations, increased attention to sanitization, and isolation of patients will help to reduce the transmission of the disease and, in the process, may favor the evolution of less virulent strains of the virus.

To make new cells, humans undergo a process of cell division called mitosis. Before a cell goes through cell division (mitosis),
sashaice [31]

Before a cell goes through cell division (mitosis), it must grow and make a copy of its DNA which is termed as an Inter-phase.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Some tasks must be carried out by the cells before they undergo division: The cell must grow, it must copy the genetic material (DNA) present in it, and  divide into two daughter cells. These steps carried out by cells are termed as  cell cycle.

Cells that contains a nucleus or Eukaryota cells, there are two major phases called interphase and the mitotic (M) phase. that comprises the cell cycle.

In  inter-phase, growth of the cell and making a copy of its DNA is carried out.

In mitotic (M) phase, the cell separation of the DNA in the cell into two sets and division of its cytoplasm takes place resulting in the formation of two new cells.

A probe is launched from Earth and lands on Mars. The gravitational acceleration on Mars is 3.7 m/s2.
ki77a [65]

The correct option is this: THE MASS OF THE PROBE REMAINS THE SAME, BUT THE WEIGHT OF THE PROBE DECREASES.

The mass of an object is a measure of the amount of substance it contains and this amount always remain the same unless there is a change in quantity of matter. This is the reason why the mass of a substance will remain constant, no matter where it is placed, whether on planet earth or on another planet. The weight of a substance on the other hand is a force, whose value depends on the force of gravity. Thus, the force of gravity that exist in the place, where the object is placed will determine its weight.
