Summary Introduction

To define:

The term hormone.

Introduction:

Hormone is a chemical substance which is secreted by the body cells. They are regulatory chemical substance that plays an important role in the growth and development of the body. The body cells produce the hormones that are transported to the other cells through blood or induce the organs to its action.

Explanation of Solution

The organs of endocrine system release chemical signal as hormones. A hormone is released by the organ system when it receives an internal stimulus through brain. The released hormone then reaches the target site by travelling through the cardiovascular system. Then the target organ responds to this signal. The endocrine system is responsible for the regulation of body metabolism and growth.

The hormones are of two types:peptide hormone and steroid hormone. The peptide hormones are made up of proteins and amino acids, and the steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol.

The hormones are different to the neurotransmitters. A neurotransmitter is a chemical released by the nerve cells in response to external stimuli. A hormone is a chemical released by the different body organs in response to the internal stimuli. The released hormones reach to the organs through blood that induces the organs to its action.

Conclusion

The hormone is a chemical released by the different body organs in response to the stimuli. The released hormone then reaches the target site by travelling through the cardiovascular system. Then the target organ then respond to this signal.

Question #3: In the KeyGene paper, the authors state that it would be useful if pollen from an apomict would transmit apomixis-inducing genes to the female in the cross (assuming the pollen is viable). Assuming there was just one gene conferring gametophytic obligate apomixis, and that the two parents are inbreds, what would be the consequences of such a cross if: a) The apomixis was a dominant trait? Indicate the genotypes and phenotypes (apomict or non- apomict) of the parents, F1 and F2 generations. Remember to include the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios (or percentages) in the F1 and F2 generations, and to position the female first (left side) in the parental cross. b) The apomixis was a recessive trait? Indicate the genotypes and phenotypes (apomict or non- apomict) of the parents, F1 and F2 generations. Remember to include the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios (or percentages) in the F1 and F2 generations, and to position the female first (left side) in the…
Question #5: Assume that two genes are identified that confer gametophytic facultative apomixis in soybean. The genes show independent assortment. Recessive alleles at both loci are required for the facultative apomixis. Facultative apomixis is triggered when the temperature at pollination is above 20 degrees C. At temperatures below 20 degrees C, all reproduction is sexual, independent of genotype. A facultative apomict male, capable of producing viable pollen, was crossed with a sexually reproducing female. Assuming the parents are completely inbred, what are the predicted phenotypic ratios (apomict: non-apomict) for the F1, F2, and DH (F1-derived) generations at each of the following temperatures*: a) 15°C? b) 25°C? *for full credit, show crosses and genotypes where appropriate. Remember to position the female first (left side) in the cross. Type your answer here:
