GnRH triggers two hormones to be released from the Adenohypophysis.

Oxytocin is synthesized in the paraventricular nuclei.

Increases in Thyroid Hormones make you drowsy and tired.

The release of the hormone ADH causes the body to excrete more urine than normal.  I.E. Increase urine output.

A large outbreak of cholera occurred in Haiti after the hurricane disrupted the sanitation infrastructure. The pathogen, Vibrio cholerae, secretes an enterotoxin that disrupts the electrolyte balance of the intestinal cells to cause watery diarrhea. Those with cholera can become severely dehydrated. Water samples from the surrounding bodies of water detected a high number of V. cholerae cells living there. Using the scenario above, match the words with the correct terms.

Name the muscle whose only 2 actions are to adduct the arm and flex the shoulder?

Name the muscle that compresses the cheeks.

A series of experiments shows that oil content in a diploid corn grain is influenced by five genes (a, b, c, d and e) with additive allelic effect. The highest (X) and the lowest (Y) oil producing corn lines have 20% and 0% oil in the grain, respectively. A plant of unknown genotype has an oil content of 12% from the cross between X and Y lines. What is a possible genotype for this plant? (“+” = additive allele and “-“ = allele is non additive; assume all loci have equal effect).

A scientist has determined the following variances for yield of corn in his fields (8):     Additive genetic variance 30 Dominance genetic variance 50 Environmental variance 20     Assume that there is no genetic-environmental interaction variance. Calculate the narrow-sense heritability indicated by this data.

You tested 20 peanut genotypes in 4 locations in Florida with 3 reps/location. Write EMS (expected mean square) model to estimate variance components associated with genotype, locations, and genotype*location interaction. Estimate broad-sense heritability and genetic gain from the mean square values provided in question.    Source of variation MS Values EMS Model Genotype 7.5     Location 3.4     Genotype* Location 1.2   Error 0.90
