Answer:

The correct answer would be haploid cells.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division in which reduction division takes place, that is, the number of chromosomes reduces to half.

Meiosis is divided into two parts; meiosis I and meiosis II.

Meiosis I is a reduction division which results in the formation of two haploid daughter cells from a single diploid parent cell. It results in the equal distribution of chromosomes into the daughter cells.

Meiosis II is an equational division in which the sister chromatids of each chromosome gets separated and distributed into daughter cells. The two cells formed after meiosis II further divide to produce four daughter cells.

What Is the Endocrine System?

The endocrine system is made up of glands that make hormones. Hormones are the body's chemical messengers. They carry information and instructions from one set of cells to another.

The endocrine (EN-duh-krin) system influences almost every cell, organ, and function of our bodies.

What Does the Endocrine System Do?

Endocrine glands release hormones into the bloodstream. This lets the hormones travel to cells in other parts of the body.

The endocrine hormones help control mood, growth and development, the way our organs work, metabolism , and reproduction.

The endocrine system regulates how much of each hormone is released. This can depend on levels of hormones already in the blood, or on levels of other substances in the blood, like calcium. Many things affect hormone levels, such as stress, infection, and changes in the balance of fluid and minerals in blood.

Too much or too little of any hormone can harm the body. Medicines can treat many of these problems.

What Are the Parts of the Endocrine System?

While many parts of the body make hormones, the major glands that make up the endocrine system are the:

hypothalamus

pituitary

thyroid

parathyroids

adrenals

pineal body

the ovaries

the testes

The pancreas is part of the endocrine system and the digestive system. That's because it secretes hormones into the bloodstream, and makes and secretes enzymes into the digestive tract.

Hypothalamus: The hypothalamus (hi-po-THAL-uh-mus) is in the lower central part of the brain. It links the endocrine system and nervous system. Nerve cells in the hypothalamus make chemicals that control the release of hormones secreted from the pituitary gland. The hypothalamus gathers information sensed by the brain (such as the surrounding temperature, light exposure, and feelings) and sends it to the pituitary. This information influences the hormones that the pituitary makes and releases.

Pituitary: The pituitary (puh-TOO-uh-ter-ee) gland is at the base of the brain, and is no bigger than a pea. Despite its small size, the pituitary is often called the "master gland." The hormones it makes control many other endocrine glands.

The pituitary gland makes many hormones, such as:

growth hormone, which stimulates the growth of bone and other body tissues and plays a role in the body's handling of nutrients and minerals

prolactin (pro-LAK-tin), which activates milk production in women who are breastfeeding

thyrotropin (thy-ruh-TRO-pin), which stimulates the thyroid gland to make thyroid hormones

corticotropin (kor-tih-ko-TRO-pin), which stimulates the adrenal gland to make certain hormones

antidiuretic (an-ty-dy-uh-REH-tik) hormone, which helps control body water balance through its effect on the kidneys

oxytocin (ahk-see-TOE-sin), which triggers the contractions of the uterus that happen during labor

Leona [35]

Answer:

Anaerobic glycolysis

Explanation:

Anaerobic glycolysis produces small amounts of ATP in the absence of oxygen for a short period. Aerobic metabolism utilizes oxygen to produce much more ATP, allowing a muscle to work for longer periods. Muscle fatigue, which has many contributing factors, occurs when muscle can no longer contract.

Anti disease plantation is the best way to cure diseases and insect infection.Explain!!

Answer:

The first and best defense against plant diseases is a healthy plant, which is the main task of an accomplished gardener. Preventing and managing plant disease begins even before planting, with site preparation and plant selection.

When a plant does not look normal, or as expected, a gardener may assume that the plant is diseased and control measures are needed. To properly diagnose plant problems, the gardener needs to have background knowledge about the plant, the current environment, and the typical diseases or other problems to which the plant is susceptible. Such information can help prevent an inaccurate diagnosis that may lead to unnecessary pesticide use, wasted time and expense, and continued plant decline.

This publication provides gardeners with information on how to establish and maintain healthy plants, and describes a systematic approach to identifying and solving problems that do occur.
