Answer:
Option A, Hormones are controlled by a feedback loop; information about a system is sent back to the controller of the system to improve its function.
Explanation:
Negative feedback loop controls the hormone production and release. This is done by eliciting the release of substances till a certain level after which the stop signal is activated thereby preventing further release. By this method, concentration of hormones in blood is maintained within the narrow range.
For example – Thyroid hormones is released when the anterior pituitary signals the thyroid. This continues till the hormones in the blood reach the threshold level. Once the threshold level is reached, hypothalamus receives a feedback and then signals anterior pituitary to inhibit further signaling to the thyroid
Hence, option A is correct
Answer: dandelion is consumed by bees, grasshoppers, and butterflies.
Answer: Correct options B, D and E.
Explanation:
In the cladogram, we can see that in the first branch we have a division, one branch goes to fish and the other goes to a division (a division means a common ancestor)
Then the fish are the most primitive (being directly related to the first ancestor)., E is true.
We also can see that between fish and birds we have 3 separations (the ancestor in common is 3 "generations" behind), and between frog and birds we have two separations (the common ancestor is 2 "generations" behind), so frogs are more closely related to birds than fish.
So D is also true.
We also can see that the only pair that has only one ancestor in common are birds and reptiles, so the ones that are most closely related are birds and reptiles. B is also true,
