4 0

Answer:

Calcium

Explanation:

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a hormone that is secreted by the parathyroid gland. It is the major regulator of the plasma concentration of calcium ions. It regulates calcium ions in the kidney, intestine and bones.

In the kidney, is involved in the re-absorption of calcium in distal ducts and the renal collecting duct, it is also involved in activating the conversion of 25-hydroxy vitamin D into 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D (calcitriol).

In the intestine,  PTH is involved in the absorption of calcium, by increasing vitamin D production.

In the bone, it helps in regulating calcium levels; when serum calcium level is low, PTH stimulates the activity of the osteoclast, to produce more calcium.

What two types of evolutionary evidence, taken together, provide strong evidence for when extinct species most likely diverged f
Black_prince [1.1K]

Homologous and analogous structures are two types of evolutionary evidence, taken together, provide strong evidence for when extinct species most likely diverged from common ancestors, relative to other events happening on Earth.

Several types of evidence support the theory of evolution: If two or more species share a unique physical feature, such as a complex bone structure or body plan, they can all inherit this property from the common ancestor. Physical traits shared through evolutionary history (common ancestor) they say they are homologous. Not all physical properties that look similar are signs of common ancestry. Some physical similarities instead are analogous: they evolved independently in different organisms because organisms lived in similar environments or experienced similar selective pressures.
