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).
Answer:
Hypertonic blood draws water out of the interstitial fluid, which makes the interstitial fluid hypertonic. This, in turn, draws water out of the cells.
Basically an hype tonic blood has high solute potential,( low water potential) compare with the surrounding plasma and the interstitial fluid. Thus the interstitial fluid is hypotonic to the blood.
Consequently,water with higher potential moves from the interstitial fluid medium into the blood by osmosis through the capillary endothelial. This raises the water potential of the blood, lowering the solute potential, thus making it hypotonic to the interstitial fluid; which is now hypertonic(lower water potential ,due to loss to the blood by osmosis).
Since the interstitial fluids is now hyper tonic to the surrounding cells, water moves from the hypo tonic surrounding cells through osmosis into the interstitial fluids. The sequence continues until a stable internal environment is achieved,
The endosymbiotic hypothesis explains that how eukaryotic cells might have evolved chloroplasts and mitochondria within their cells.
The endosymbiotic hypothesis states that the eukaryotes have developed via a procedure whereby distinct kinds of free-living prokaryotes became assimilated within the bigger prokaryotic cells and ultimately evolved into chloroplasts, mitochondria, and various other organelles.
Answer:
preparedness.
Preparedness is the tendency to learn some associations more easily, quickly and permanently than others.
Answer:
Mendel's law of independent assortment states that the genes are separated and inherited independently of each other into the gametes.
The corn can be used to study the law if independent assortment as each kernel of the corn is its fruit. Thus, it is a result of sexual reproduction.
Single corn may contain 800-1000 kernels which may have different shape, texture, structure et cetera as result of independent assortment, that is, each kernel receives alleles of genes independent of each other.
For example, a gene responsible for the texture of kernel would be inherited independently of the gene responsible for the color of the kernel.
