A product of the anterior pituitary gland that causes color changes in it's target cells is melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH) .
Hence the correct answer is option D .
<h3>
What is the pituitary gland ? </h3>
Pituitary is known as the master gland of our body, because it controls and coordinates the development and functions of other endocrine glands. It is found in the base of the brain in a bony cavity called 'sella tursica' and is attached to the hypothalamus.
It has two parts - anterior pituitary ( also known as adenohypophysis) and posterior pituitary ( neurohypophysis).
<h3>
What is anterior pituitary?</h3>
The anterior pituitary has two parts para distalis and pars intermedia. Of this , FSH, LH, TSH, ACTH etc., is released by pars distalis, and the only hormone from pars intermedia is the MSH .
- FSH - Follicle Stimulating Hormone - Stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles for next menstrual cycle.
- LH - Luteinizing Hormone - Induces ovulation of fully mature follicles and maintains corpus luteum.
- TSH - Thyroid Stimulating Hormone - Stimulates secretions of Thyroid gland.
- MSH - Melanocyte stimulating hormone - acts on melanocytes ( cells with melanin, a pigment ) and regulates the pigmentation of the skin.
Hence from the above points ,we can conclude that MSH causes color changes in it's target cells.
So correct answer is option D .

False, Some plasmids may reanneal without taking in any more DNA. when plasmid and foreign DNA are combined after being cut with the same restriction enzyme
Enzymes that cleave DNA are known as restriction enzymes. Each enzyme distinguishes one or more target sequences and cleaves DNA at or close to those sequences.
Numerous restriction enzymes produce single-stranded DNA overhangs at the ends of their cuts, which are often staggered. But some result in blunt endings.
DNA ligase is an enzyme that joins DNA. A single, unbroken DNA molecule can be created by joining two sections of DNA that have matching ends using ligase.
DNA ligase and restriction enzymes are employed in DNA cloning to splice genes and other DNA fragments into plasmids.
An enzyme that cuts DNA and recognises particular DNA locations is known as a restriction enzyme. A number of restriction enzymes make staggered cuts at or near their recognition sites to create ends with a single-stranded overhang.
