Transgenic organisms are those that have had their genomes altered by external means. These organisms are found in applications of genetic engineering, but they are only useful if the inserted gene is expressed in the organism.
An example of a transgenic organism may be a rat with the gene for hemoglobin from a rabbit. This rat is only useful if it indeed does produce rabbit hemoglobin in its blood due to the inserted gene.
First of all, let us remember that "fitness" is defined as living enough to reproduce. If an organism has survived long enough to reproduce, it has done its part as far as survival is concerned, and id deemed "fit".
1) There is a struggle to survive. LIFE IS HARD. Survival is affected by limited resources, predators, and environmental factors. Organisms must compete with other organisms to obtain the necessary resources to survive. Organisms must evade predators and find successful ways to survive in challenging environments. Many more offspring are produced than those who stay alive long enough to reproduce themselves. Some offspring survive to adulthood and reproduce, many do not.
2) Traits in offspring are inherited from their parents.
3) There is variation in these inherited traits in the offspring. Most individuals among the offspring will not be identical to each other or their parents, but at the same time will carry the traits of their parents.
4) As conditions change, variations in traits may become more favorable than others for survival. Individuals who have the traits that enable them to survive and reproduce will pass these traits down to the next generation. Go back to step #1.
C cells of the thyroid gland secrete calcitonin.
<h3>
What does C cells of thyroid gland produce?</h3>
- The thyroid follicle, which is the gland's active component, is encircled by a single layer of epithelial cells, and the lumen is stuffed with colloidal material.
- It includes parafollicular cells, or C cells, which release calcitonin.
- The C-cells of the thyroid gland secrete calcitonin, a 32 amino acid hormone.
- When the concentration of blood calcium has grown over the usual range, the thyroid gland releases the hormone calcitonin, which lowers the level.
- The parafollicular cells, sometimes referred to as the C cells, of the thyroid gland are the principal producers of this polypeptide hormone, which has 32 amino acids.
