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.

Which event most accurately describes cytokinesis?
Talja [164]
Cytokinesis is the process wherein actual division of the cell, including the cell membrane and the cytoplasm, from the parent cell to two daughter cells. The correct answer in this question is "the metaphase plate is the beginning area for cytokinesis" as the metaphase plate dictates the midpoint of the cell. A cell with a cell wall (plant cell, for example) cannot perform cytokinesis with a cleavage furrow but with a cell plate. Phragmoplast only develops in plant cells. Lastly, cytokinesis only starts after telophase.
