what are sex hormones?why are they named so? state their function.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Sex hormones or hormones of the reproductive organs are certain cells in the reproductive organs that produce hormones.

The testis produces testosterone,the male sex hormone,and the ovaries produces oestrogen and progesterone, the female sex hormones.

In a sexually mature male,testosterone influences sexual behaviour, and together with FSH,regulates sperm production in the seminiferous tubules of the testes.

Sexually matured females undergo a regular 4-week reproductive or menstrual cycle during which a mature egg is released.This cycle is regulated by oestrogen and progesterone. During pregnancy, progesterone inhibits egg production (ovulation),brings about the development of the placenta and prevents the uterus from contracting....I hope this answers your question... Thank you for the question.

Variation in rates of cell division is regulated by a cell-cycle control system—a group of molecules, mostly proteins, within a cell that coordinates the events of the cell cycle. This control system functions through a system of checkpoints. Which assessment occurs at the G2/M checkpoint?

Answers

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

At the G2 checkpoint, the accuracy of chromosome replication is assessed along with the cell size and proteins within the cell. The cell division will only proceed if all the listed conditions appear all right.

At the M checkpoint, the correct attachment of spindles to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids of each chromosome is assessed. This is to ensure that chromosomes are correctly separated to the opposite poles of the cell.

Answers

Answer:

Water, high specific heat capacity

Explanation:

The temperature fluctuations are relatively small in Jameson city because takes water longer to heat up and cool down due to its high specific heat capacity because water has high heat capacity that is it absorb alot of heat before it start to get hot. takes more energy to increase the temperature of water compared to other substances which help to regulate extremes in the environment.

Water surrounding cities take longer to heat up and longer to cool down so cities that are near the oceans will tend to have less change and less extreme temperatures compared to inland cities.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - active and passive.

Explanation:

Immunity is the capability of multicellular organism to protect itself from harmful molecules that are foreign to the body such as microorganism and antigens. Immunity can be active immunity or the passive immunity.

Active immunity takes place when one's own body produces antibodies to fight against a particular disease or antigen by immune system where as passive immunity occurs when an individual receives antibodies from outside and produced outside.

Thus, the correct answer is - active and passive.

If the study on the relationship between W. bancrofti and Wolbachia is correct, then combined with the results of the trials, significant numbers of microfilariae do not survive in circulation beyond what time period

Answers

Answer:

6 months

Explanation:

First, we must remember that doxycline has an effect only on nematodes, but it cannot effectively prevent microfilariae presented before treatment in the blood of the infected. What we can conclude from this is that it is possible that microfilariae grow and develop, however they will not be able to reproduce, since W. bancrofti is completely dependent on Wolbachia for replication. With that, the microfilariae are running out of time and with about 6 months the patients are free of any trace of microfilariae. So we can conclude that 6 months is the longest time that microfilariae survive in circulation.

Some fruit flies have orange eyes and others have red eyes.
If two orange-eyed fruit flies are crossed, their offspring always have orange eyes.
If two red-eyed fruit flies are crossed, their offspring sometimes include both orange-eyed and red-eyed flies.

What can be concluded from these observations?

Answers

Answer:

not 100% sure but

Explanation:

might be because each fruit fly has a different eye color because offspring from parents will have different eye color. or it might be from some sort of mutation that happened, that might be why they still have the gene to orange eyes. or red eyed fruit flys(or fly) migrated into a orange eyed populating and had offspring like that, that would also explain why red eyed fruit flys have the orange eyed gene.

When objects of two different temperature are in contact, what happens?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

This is because the objects will exchange thermal energy, until thermal equilibrium is reached, i.e. until their temperatures are equal. We say that heat flows from the hotter to the cooler object.

Energy is transferred from a warmer to a cooler object through the phenomenon of heat. For instance, a large pan of lukewarm water will gain heat from a lit match (a higher temperature object) (lower temperature object). Thus, option C is correct.

What change in temperature when object are in contact?

It feels warmer in your hands to hold a hot cup. The heat is moving from one object to another, which is what you are feeling. Your hands receive the hot chocolate's thermal energy.

Heat is exchanged when two objects are at different temperatures. Up until the two items are at the same temperature, the cooler object warms up. Always, heat energy moves from a hot object to a cooler one.

The colder end will get energy from the hot end as it passes through the rod. The temperature will eventually equalize across the entire rod. Wearing gloves is crucial when working with hot metal, for this reason.

Therefore, The warmer object transfer heat energy to the cooler object.
