Help me please Question 20 of 34 What is the function of the pituitary gland?
(Pineal, Hypothalamus
and Pituitary glands)
Thyroid
Thymus
Adrenal
Pancreas
Ovaries (2)
Testes (2)
A. To release hormones to regulate the endocrine system
B. To release a hormone if calcium levels get too high
C. To release insulin if blood sugar levels get too high
D. To regulate the pancreas

A

Explanation:

The pituitary gland is called the 'master gland' as the hormones it produces control so many different processes in the body. It senses the body's needs and sends signals to different organs and glands throughout the body to regulate their function and maintain an appropriate environment.

did u get the answer? /? ? / me

step 1: initiation

initiation is the beginning of transcription. it occurs when the enzyme rna polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. this signals the dna to unwind so the enzyme can ‘‘read’’ the bases in one of the dna strands. the enzyme is now ready to make a strand of mrna with a complementary sequence of bases.

step 2: elongation

elongation is the addition of nucleotides to the mrna strand. rna polymerase reads the unwound dna strand and builds the mrna molecule, using complementary base pairs. there is a brief time during this process when the newly formed rna is bound to the unwound dna. during this process, an adenine (a) in the dna binds to an uracil (u) in the rna.

step 3: termination

termination is the ending of transcription, and occurs when rna polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. the mrna strand is complete, and it detaches from dna.
