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.

Question 6 of 10
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The average of the following set of measurements is 20°C.

To find the average of the given set of measurements

Given:

Set of measurements = 27°C, 12°C, 31°C, 19°C, 23°C, 11°C, 17°C

Number of Observations = 7

Average = Sum of observations/Total number of observations

Sum of observations = 27°C+12°C+31°C+19°C+23°C+11°C+17°C

= 140

Total number of observations = 7

Substitute the values in the formula

= 140/7 = 20°C

Therefore, the average of the following set of measurements is 20°C

BabaBlast [244]

The right answer is genotype.

The genotype is the information carried by the genome of an organism, contained in each cell in the form of deoxyribonucleic acid DNA. Carried by the chromosomes, it is located inside the nucleus in eukaryotes and in cytoplasm in prokaryotes.

In humans, it is estimated that the number of genes is between 25,000 and 30,000.
