Answer:

The correct answer is C. Iodine directly helps the thyroid gland to function properly.

Explanation:

Iodine is essential for our thyroid hormones to function properly, and in turn, our body.

Thyroid hormones have vital functions such as regulating energy metabolism and nutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates and fats. They also affect tissue growth, especially the nervous; They also participate in the regulation of body temperature.

That is why the adequate supply of iodine contributes to the normal functioning of the thyroid, but if it is excessive it can cause health problems such as hyperthyroidism; and if its contribution is too low, it can cause hypothyroidism or even irreversible consequences if this deficit is severe or occurs, for example, in pregnancy, lactation or first year of life.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
<span>Okay, so we have one homozygous, the prefix "homo" means "same" and we know that the male's genotype is dominate, so with the prefix "same" or "homo" we know the male's genotype must be EE, and TT. We also know that the female's genotype is heterozygous, and knowing that "hetero" means opposite, we know that she has the two opposite types of genes Ee and Tt

Lilit [14]

George is lifting weights. He starts by doing biceps curls which involves flexing his elbows.  His elbow is able to bend because the humero-ulnar joint is a hinge joint.  Sam is doing leg presses, extending his knees as he pushes against the weights. Meanwhile, Jane is doing "lat pulls" by pulling downward on a weighted bar. This movement involves adduction of her arms.  Her shoulder joint is a  ball-and-socket joint, allowing a wide range of movements.
