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).

The barley plant has seven pairs of chromosomes. For a gamete, the number of genetic combinations that are possible through inde
umka2103 [35]

1) The correct answer is: 128 combinations.

The genetic combinations that are possible through independent assortment can be calculated as 2^n; where n is the number of different chromosomes.  

So, using this formula for 7 chromosomes:

   2^7 = 128 different combinations.

2) For a zygote produced by two barley parents, the number of possible genetic combinations can be calculated as: 2^n * 2^n

So, for 7 chromosomes: 2^7 * 2^7=16384
