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

You are a dog breeder and are interested in two traits that you believe are inherited by simple genetic loci glossy (G) coat is

Paul [167]

Answer:

GL, Gl, gL, and gl

Explanation:

The mom is glossy long haired. Since glossy (G) is dominant over to dull (g) and long hair (L) is dominant to short hair (l), the possible genotypes of the mom would be:

GGLL, GgLL, GGLl, or GgLl

The dad is dull and short haired, the genotype would be ggll.

GGLL x ggll

Progeny = all GgLl (all glossy long haired)

GgLL x ggll

Progeny = 8 GgLl, 8 ggLi (glossy long haired and dull long haired)

GGLl x ggll

Progeny = 8 GgLl, 8 Ggll (glossy long haired and glossy short haired)

GgLl x ggll

Progeny = 4 GgLl, 4 Ggll, 4 ggLl, 4 ggll (glossy long, glossy short, dull long, and dull short)

<em>Only a cross of ggll with GgLl produced the offspring that cover the phenotypic range shown in the illustration. Hence, the genotype of the mom is GgLl.</em>

The parental gametes produced by the mom would be; GL, Gl, gL, and gl

In photosynthetic cells, synthesis of atp by the chemiosmotic mechanism occurs during _________.

NikAS [45]

In photosynthetic cells, synthesis of ATP by the chemi-osmotic mechanism occurs during photosynthesis and respiration. Plants can only achieve photosynthesis during the day and then respire during the night because photosynthesis requires the sun's energy to perform the necessary reaction to produce oxygen.
