A product of the anterior pituitary gland that causes color changes in it's target cells is melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH) .
Hence the correct answer is option D .
<h3>
What is the pituitary gland ? </h3>
Pituitary is known as the master gland of our body, because it controls and coordinates the development and functions of other endocrine glands. It is found in the base of the brain in a bony cavity called 'sella tursica' and is attached to the hypothalamus.
It has two parts - anterior pituitary ( also known as adenohypophysis) and posterior pituitary ( neurohypophysis).
<h3>
What is anterior pituitary?</h3>
The anterior pituitary has two parts para distalis and pars intermedia. Of this , FSH, LH, TSH, ACTH etc., is released by pars distalis, and the only hormone from pars intermedia is the MSH .
- FSH - Follicle Stimulating Hormone - Stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles for next menstrual cycle.
- LH - Luteinizing Hormone - Induces ovulation of fully mature follicles and maintains corpus luteum.
- TSH - Thyroid Stimulating Hormone - Stimulates secretions of Thyroid gland.
- MSH - Melanocyte stimulating hormone - acts on melanocytes ( cells with melanin, a pigment ) and regulates the pigmentation of the skin.
Hence from the above points ,we can conclude that MSH causes color changes in it's target cells.
So correct answer is option D .

A cactus is a plant the can be found in hot and dry climates. They have a thick stem that usually have spines(thorns) and flowers. Cacti have short growing seasons and long dormant seasons. Cacti are able to absorb water in a very short amount of time. One species is able to absorb up to 200 gallons of water.
There is about 1,500 - 1,800 cactus species known.
Answer:
when you drink to much salt water you dehydrate quickly
Explanation:
Consuming very salty water, like the kind in the ocean, may introduce more salt to your body than it's capable of processing. Your body attempts to flush the excess by inducing urination, pushing your kidneys into overdrive. Because you must excrete more water than you consume to get rid of the extra salt, you may dehydrate quickly.
Answer:
Option C

Complete Question
Which of the following situations would pose a major difficulty for applying the biological species concept?
a) Two populations of sexually reproducing plants that can be bred easily in the same location under field conditions
b) Two populations of sexually reproducing insects that can be bred easily in the same location under field conditions
c) Five snail fossils taken from the same locality during a 400,000-year time span
d) Dimorphic mating pairs of birds
e) Monomorphic mating pairs of birds
Solution -
According to the biological species concept, two or more organisms that look alike does not mean that they belong to the same species. In order to consider that two organisms belong to the same species, it is essential for them to be able to interbreed or mate.
For example –
Western meadowlarks and Eastern meadowlarks look identical to one another but they do not interbreed with each other and hence they belong to different species.
Hence, option C is correct
