1. The right answer is - Hypothalamus (manufactured by the hypothalamus, stored in the pituitary gland).

Vasopressin, or antidiuretic hormone, is a peptide hormone synthesized by the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus, and released by the posterior pituitary gland (neurohypophysis).

It mainly has an anti-diuretic role in the kidney, where it causes a reabsorption of water via an action on the distal segment of the nephron during a dehydration body. Its gene is AVP located on human chromosome 20.


2. The right answer is - Increased Secretion of Vasopressin To Maintain Less Loss Of Water.

Vasopressin has an antidiuretic action: it decreases the volume of urine by increasing the water permeability of the collecting tube. It binds to the V2 receptor, which is coupled to a Gα protein, which activates a signaling cascade through the PKA. This causes the synthesis of aquaporin 2 (transmembrane pore) as well as its translocation to the apical / urinary membrane.

Which best describes the offspring of protists?
Hunter-Best [27]

Options found elsewhere:

-always genetically identical to one parent

-always genetically identical to both parents

-never genetically identical to one parent

-sometimes genetically different than both parents

Answer:

-sometimes genetically different than both parents

Explanation:

Protists are eukaryotes that cannot be classed as animals, plants, or fungi. They are quite diverse. Examples include amoeba, plasmodium, and slime mould.

Because they are so diverse, protists also have very different modes of reproduction. Some protists undergo asexual reproduction, where they simply make a copy of themselves without a mate. Others undergo sexual reproduction.

Therefore, the only option that can be correct is "-sometimes genetically different than both parents" .

If they were always genetically identical to one parent or both parents, that would mean that sexual reproduction could not be possible. If they were never genetically identical to one parent, that would mean that asexual reproduction could not be taking place.
