Answer:

The organisms use DNA as the genetic (contains code of life) as well as heredity (transferred to progeny) material.

DNA is packaged into a highly condensed structure called chromosome which gets passed on to progeny through male and female gametes. The formation of the gametes involves meiosis which introduces recombination of the sequence of the DNA.  

The chromosomes contain a sequence of DNA called genes which codes for a particular trait of organisms. These genes control a trait when they receive the complementary form of the gene from another chromosome.  

When the gametes fuse then both the gametes contribute half of their chromosomes and make a complete set of chromosomes. Thus, the continuity of life is controlled by heredity material.

The level of which hormone increases after ovulation?
MArishka [77]

The answer should be C, progesterone.


Progesterone is the hormone which can help maintain the lining of uterus and to further thicken it so that the uterus is prepared for implantation and the development of a baby. The level of progesterone is significantly rose after ovulation.


On the other hand, LH, luteinising hormone, is produced by oestrogen, another female hormone which will drop after ovulation. LH helps stimulate ovulation and prevent the development of other follicles, the origin of eggs, to form yellow body instead. Which yellow body is the one which stimulates the production of progesterone.


Last but not least, I believe D should be testosterone, and it is a male hormone so it will not be found in female normally.


Therefore, your answer should be C, progesterone.

Heterogeneous mixtures are considered mixtures wherein the components are not uniform and still retain their properties. Characteristics of heterogeneous mixtures are: the ratio of solute and solvent is not equal, the substances can be separated physically and they still retain their properties even if mixed with another substance.
