antagonism

When two hormones cancel each other out or have opposite effects it is called antagonism.

<h3>What is an example of antagonism?</h3>

Traditional examples of antagonistic hormones include insulin and glucagon.
In contrast to glucagon, which stimulates glycogenolysis, or the conversion of glycogen to glucose, insulin stimulates glycogenesis, or the conversion of glucose to glycogen.

<h3>What does the term "antagonistic hormones" mean?</h3>

Antagonistic hormones are those that work to bring body circumstances back from extremes to within acceptable bounds.
An illustration of how the endocrine system maintains homeostasis through the action of antagonistic hormones is the regulation of blood glucose concentration (by negative feedback).

<h3>How do antagonists to hormones function?</h3>

Infertility, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids are just a few of the diseases that gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists are used to treat in women.
GnRH is a hormone released by the hypothalamus that is the target of GnRH antagonists, which stop it from functioning.

Mr. and Mrs. Green have a daughter, Georgia, who was born at Riverside Community Hospital. Mr. and Mrs. Blue have a daughter, Be

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Yes, Mrs Green is correct that Belle is her biological daughter

Explanation:

According to this question, Mr. and Mrs. Green is said to have a daughter, Georgia while Mr. and Mrs. Blue is said to have a daughter, Belle. Both daughters were born the same day. Hence, a controversy occured as Mrs. Green thinks that Belle is her biological daughter.

Based on the blood analysis, the following were obtained:

Mr. Green: Type A

Mrs. Green: Type A

Georgia: Type A

Mr. Blue: Type AB

Mrs. Blue: Type A

Belle: Type O

The genotype of the following blood types is as follows:

Type A - iAiA or iAi

Type B - iBiB or iBi

Type O - ii

Type AB - iAiB

From the analysis of blood types of Mr and Mrs Green, which are both type A, they can possibly produce a child with type A.

However, from the analysis of Mr. and Mrs. Blue, it is impossible to have a child with blood type O. However it is possible for Mr and Mrs. Green if they are both heterozygous (iAi × iAi). The punnet square is attached. Hence, Mrs Green is correct about her claim since Mr. and Mrs. Blue cannot have a child with blood type A.
