Hormones secreted by the adrenal cortex that help to maintain glucose levels in the blood are called glucocorticoids. It is secreted by the middle region of the adrenal cortex. The principal glucocorticoids is cortisol also called hydro-cortisone. The overall effect of the glucocorticoids is to increase blood glucose levels. This helps to maintain appropriate blood glucose levels between meals. In times of prolonged stress cortisol is secreted in greater than normal amount to help increase glucose level to provide energy to respond to the stress. Cortisol also helps to counteract the inflammatory response. For this purpose, it is used clinically to reduce inflammation in certain allergic reactions, bursitis and arthritis, infections and some types of cancer.

Those changes in an individuals' genotype that ensure genetic variation begin to be done in Metaphase, where chromosomes are aligned to the equatorial axis of the cell, and eventually, each chromosome is pulled to each pole of the cell during Anaphase I. After this process, follows telophase I, where we can say that each chromosome is given to each of the two daughter cells.

Which of the following statements is not based on climate change denial
Doss [256]

The correct answer is A.The climate is changing rapidly but it will be too expensive to fix.

Explanation:

Climate change involves important long-term changes in climate patterns as well as other features on land and bodies of water. This phenomenon has occurred naturally during the history of Earth; however, nowadays climate change has accelerated due to human activities that produce global warming and therefore the increase in temperatures and changes in climate.

Despite this, some deny climate change, which is known as climate change denial; this includes stating climate change does not exist, it is an exaggeration or a hoax, or considering it is the result of natural cycles. According to this, the only statement that is not based on climate change denial is "The climate is changing rapidly but it will be too expensive to fix" because in this statement the speaker recognizes climate change is real and considers it is a serious issue that might be difficult to solve.
