It is a 30 amino acid long peptide hormone responsible for several functions in the body including the promotion of insulin production in a glucose-dependent manner.

Other possible functions of GLP-1 include protective and regulatory effects in different tissues in the body including the heart, lungs, muscles, bones, kidneys, and several others.

Which of the following correctly explains why scientists believe that great apes like chimpanzees and gorillas are more closely
noname [10]

Scientists believe that great apes such as chimpanzees and gorillas are more closely related to humans based on the evolutionary timeline because apes are larger than monkeys and have long legs and no tails. Apes are known to have larger brains than monkeys which makes them so closely related to us. This fact cancels out B and C for the answer. Also, apes (gorillas, orangutans, etc.) are much larger than monkeys (mandrill, lesula, etc.). This right away cancels out option D. What's left is option A which features body parts and comparisons that are comparatively accurate towards humans. Hope this helped :))
