Answer: <em>The answer is A (It has gradually decreased in the last couple of years)</em>

  • Over the Earth's surface, the ozone layer's average thickness is about 300 Dobson Units, or a layer that is 3 millimeters thick.

  • The thickness of the ozone layer changes due to increasing concentrations of ozone-depleting substances in the atmosphere.
  • Air motions also increase the ver- tical thickness of the ozone layer near the poles, which increases the value of total ozone in those regions. Tropospheric weather systems can temporarily reduce the thickness of the stratospheric ozone layer in a region, low- ering total ozone at the same time.

  • It is thinning due to the release of man-made compounds called chlorofluorocarbons (CFC). The net effect that CFCs have on the ozone layer is to recombine an oxygen atom with an ozone molecule to form two oxygen molecules. From 1978 to 1991, global stratospheric ozone levels have decreased by 3%.

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer and Explanation:

A gene is a section of DNA. The change in the sequence of the DNA is known as mutation.  Mutation always changes the sequence of the DNA. Sunlight can cause mutation. Sunlight produces structures named thymine dimers. Thymine dimers produce twist in the shape of DNA. These twists make DNA hard to copy, which can lead to mutation. It is essential to use sunscreen to block UVA and UVB rays to prevent thymine dimers from emerging in our cells. The US Food and Drug Agency recommends an SPF (sun protection factor) to defend against skin aging and skin cancer. X-ray radiation is a form used in x-rays. The energy level of the X-ray radiation is very high that can produce free radicals. Free radicals can steal electrons from DNA that can cause mutation. By using medical images, we can decrease exposure to X-rays. Less exposure to X-rays prevents mutation and also prevents the production of gene protein in other body parts.

The anterior pituitary receives hypothalamic input through the portal blood supply. what is the advantage of this type of anatom
kotegsom [21]

The advantage of this type of anatomical relationship is that this enables the pituitary to receive signals before sending hormones to the rest of the body through the blood.

The anterior pituitary, a significant component of the endocrine system, is the glandular anterior lobe that, along with the posterior lobe (also known as the posterior pituitary or neurohypophysis), constitutes the pituitary gland (hypophysis).

Stress, growth, reproduction, and lactation are just a few of the physiological activities that the anterior pituitary controls.

Blood tests that assess hormone levels are frequently used to determine if the anterior pituitary and the organs it controls are functioning properly.

The hypothalamus-hypophyseal portal veins deliver hypothalamic releasing and inhibitory hormones directly to the anterior pituitary gland.

Certain hormones from the hypothalamus bind to receptors on particular anterior pituitary cells, controlling how much of the hormone they generate is released.
