Answer:

5%

Explanation:

The adrenal cortex in both males and females produce a small amount of weak androgens. One of the major weak androgen secreted by adrenal cortex is dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA).

Levels of dehydroepiandrosterone secretion exhibit changes with age. The dehydroepiandrosterone secretion increases till the age of 20-24 years and falls off with increasing age after the age of 30 years in both males and females. The DHEA production at the age of 80 years is about 5% of its secretion at the age of 30 years.

The pancreatic duct are lined with duct cells. These are cells which secretes HCO3- ,into the aqueous mixture. This ion is basic. Therefore it  neutralizes the acidity of the  of  the chyme to  released from the stomach to enable the pancreatic enzyme to work.

The bicarbonate ions also prevent the walls of the pancreases from getting burnt by the effect if the acidity of the chyme.

  • A chromosomal mutation in the Y chromosome of a kidney cell
  • A point mutation in the first chromosome of a sperm cell
  • A substitution mutation in the third chromosome of a uterus cell

Answers:

A point mutation in the first chromosome of a sperm cell

Explanation:

Only mutations that affect the germ line are passed on to the next generation. Therefore, only mutations in the egg and sperm of an individual have the potential to affect the next generation.

Mutations in cheek cells, kidney cells, and uterus cells might cause cell death or cancer. This genetic material is not passed on to the next generation, only the egg and sperm contribute this material. Therefore, only mutations here will affect the generation.
