Explanation:
Glucocorticoids are hormones of the family of corticosteroids that participate in the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism favoring gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis; They also have immunosuppressive activity. Its regulatory action also extends to the intermediate metabolism of fats and proteins. Glucocorticoids are mainly produced in the adrenal cortex of humans and are cortisol, cortisone and corticosterone. Cortisol is the most important glucocorticoid in humans.
From the pharmacological point of view they are corticosteroids for systemic use whose reference drug is hydrocortisone, which at high concentrations can suppress the production of ACTH adrenocorticotropic hormone in the adenohypophysis.
Answer:
An example of abiotic factor include temperature, light and water. A seasonal
variation temp and precipitation will have a great impact on the population in the ecosystem
This information is not enough to tell which of the traits-blood group A or O is dominant.
It is known that blood groups A and B are codominant, which means both will express if found together in a heterozygote. However, blood group O is recessive. But from this information, you can conclude that blood group O is dominant. Why is that so?
Let's imagine that father's genotype is AA and mothers' genotype OO and cross them:
Parents: AA x OO
Offspring: AO AO AO AO
Since we have information that daughter has blood group O, we can conclude that O is dominant over A and mask it. This is not true! In this case, the daughter will have blood group A.
Mother's genotype surely is OO (because O allele is recessive, so to express a recessive trait both alleles must be recessive). But, the father cannot be AA, because it must give O allele to the daughter so she can have genotype OO and blood group O. So, the father's genotype is AO. Let's take a look at that crossing:
Parents: AO x OO
Offspring: AO AO OO OO
Thus, in this case, daughter can have genotype OO and blood group O.
Answer:
b. become part of the body's structural systems.
Explanation:
- Minerals are the inorganic regulators needed for different functions inside the body.
- Minerals donot provide energy but involved in generation of energ through their metabolic function. (Hence option A is excluded)
- They provide a good medium for the protoplasmic activities (permeability of cell membrane and normal functioning of cell)
- Maintaining bod fluid balance.
- For structural units.
- Cannot be degraded in the body neither can be destroyed while cooking ( Hence option c and d are excluded)
- They become the part of the body's strctral systems (Hence option B is the right answer)
