gene behavior Flashcards
hormonal communication
communication by sending chemical signals from cell to cell
neural communication
communication via electrical impulses traveling from one neuron to the next with the help of neuro transmitters
neural communication happens
in the nervous system
hormonal communication happens
in the endocrine system
how are hc and nc diff
hc sends electrical impulses while nc sends electrical impulses
mutation
has to do with the genotype, strictly has to do with DNA
hormones
a substance produced by organisms cells which is transported to other cells to stimulate those cells into action
hormones cause
by telling the cell what proteins to make different gene expression occurs
the destination for hormones
is always the dna strand- even if they get there in different ways
which communication happens faster
neural bc its in the nervous system and the hc travels by the endocrine (blood) so it just takes a bit longer
where are the hormone receptors
on the cell membrane or sometimes the cytoplasm
