Correct Answer: TRUE
Correct Answer: Inbreeding
Explanation:
Self pollination occurs in the flowers when the pollen grains of the flower falls on the stigma of the same due to wind or insects like moths and bees. This lead to the inbreeding.
Correct Answer: control the passage of food through the GI tract
Correct Answer: It is secreted by the brain and acts on fat cells
Correct Answer: Both A & B
Correct Answer: Some alleles are dominant, while others are recessive
Explanation:
The principle of dominance states that some alleles are dominant, while others are recessive.
Correct Answer: TRUE
Explanation:
ACTH means Adrenal Corticotrophic Hormone.
CRH - Corticotrophin Releasing Hormone produced by hypothalamus stimulates the pituitary gland to release the ACTH which in turn produces corticosteroid hormones by adrenal glands.
Hence, the given statement is TRUE.
Correct Answer: gene
Explanation:
Genes are units of heredity.
Correct Answer: Random fluctuations in the gene frequencies within a population Eliminate
Explanation:
Random fluctuations in the gene frequencies within a population Eliminate is the one which best describes genetic drift.
Correct Answer: R-CH(NH2)-COOH
Explanation:
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. There are about 21 essential amino acids in the human body like histidine, leucine, lysine... The general formula for amino acid is R-CH(NH2)-COOH.
