Vascular endothelial growth factor (abbreviated vegf and pronounced "veg-f") is a peptide signaling molecule related to platelet-derived growth factor. vegf is important in the formation of the circulatory system because its signaling pathway causes the formation of blood vessels in developing embryos during normal development. tumors also produce and secrete vegf, causing nearby blood vessels to branch and grow to form new blood vessels that supply these tumors.
given what you know about the different kinds of cell signaling and vegf, which statement is true?
vegf is a paracrine signaling molecule because it binds to receptors on nearby cells, at the site where new blood vessels are needed.

Scenario #2 in 2001, a population of 2,500 poison dart frogs lived in the amazon rain forest. due to increased deforestation, the population dwindled to 25 frogs in 2019. new government regulations were enacted in 2022, successfully putting an end to the deforestation of the amazon rain forest. once deforestation was stopped, the poison dart frog population was able to recover. by 2050, the population reached 8,000 frogs, of that population, 20 are homozygous recessive for being spotted (ss genotype). q2- ? q- p- p2- 2pq-
