The correct answer is: B. In sexual reproduction, individuals transmit half of their nuclear genes to each of their offspring.
The main difference between sexual and asexual reproduction is that in sexual reproduction genetic material from two parents is combined, while in asexual reproduction produced offspring is genetically identical to the one parent. So, advantage of sexual reproduction is that produced unique organisms contribute to genetic diversity (variation is formed). But, comparing to asexual reproduction, sexual reproduction requires more energy and lasts longer.
Asexual reproduction is found in lower organisms and can be in different forms: budding, vegetative reproduction, fragmentation, spore formation.
Answer:
The claim by the researcher is supported because of the known functions of insulin and growth factors. Both hormones have a tendency to respond to the presence of glucose. The growth hormone initiates STAT5 signaling for producing the Igf-1 factor that is important for utilizing glucose. The insulin hormone is well known for utilizing glucose.

Answer:
Calcitonin
Explanation:
Calcitonin hormone is released by the para follicular cells of the thyroid gland. This hormone works against the parathyroid hormone.
Calcitonin hormone regulates the level of calcium by decreasing the blood calcium level. This hormone inhibits the osteoclast activity of the cells and decreases the absorption of calcium in pregnant women and child. Hence, calacitonin decreases plasma calcium levels in pregnant women and children.
Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
