How does the bicoid protein provide positional information along the anterior-posterior axis of the fly embryo? a. it is present at high concentration at the anterior end and low concentration at the posterior end. b. different forms of bicoid protein exist at different locations along the anterior-posterior axis. c. it is present at high concentration at the posterior end and high concentration at the anterior end. d. bicoid protein is present at a uniform concentration along the anterior-posterior axis.

a. It is present at high concentration at the anterior end and low concentration at the posterior end.

Explanation:

One of the ways to define the anterior-posterior axis in Drosophila is by the products of the Bicoid and Nanos genes. The mRNA from the bicoid gene is transcribed by nurse cells. The bicoid mRNA is deposited in the unfertilized egg near its anterior pole. Therefore, the bicoid gene product serves as the anterior morphogen. The bicoid mRNA is translated after fertilization. The Bicoid proteins are present in higher concentrations at the anterior end and diffuse through the cell to create a concentration gradient from the anterior to the posterior end.

"menstrual cycle is a complex cycle that consists of several processes. order of occurrence of steps in menstrual cycle are as follows:

1. high progesterone levels maintain the endometrium lining of the uterus.

2. endometrium lining breaks down and low levels of estrogen stimulate the pituitary to release fsh and lh.

3. fsh and lh stimulates the follicles to develop and the oocyte to produce estrogen.

4. rising estrogen levels suppress fsh production and development of other follicles.

5. a spike in lh causes follicle to rupture.

6. a breakdown of corpus luteum causes progesterone level to drop."
