Answer:

The correct option is F) Increased blood glucose levels

Explanation:

The release of glucocorticoids into the body is part of the body's chemical process for managing stress and ultimately prepares the body for fight or flight.

The body anticipates that it may consume additional fuel/energy during elevated stress levels, it therefore through the adrenal cortex which is situated above the kidneys, sends glucocorticoids into the body.

The glucocorticoids trigger the body's metabolism with regard to breaking down stored fuel in order to produce the required energy that it needs.

Cheers!

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Crossing over increases the genetic variation  

Errors in crossover formation result in chromosomal rearrangements (duplications and deletions) and may also cause chromosome nondisjunction

Explanation:

Crossing over, also known as recombination, refers to the exchange of genetic material (DNA) between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes during meiosis. Crossing over increases the genetic variation of the resulting gametes, allowing different genetic combinations to be passed from parents to offspring. Unequal crossing over is a type of error associated with chromosomal duplication and/or deletion events. Unequal crossing over occurs when homologous sequences are not paired precisely. Moreover, errors in crossing over may also cause chromosome nondisjunction, thereby leading to aneuploidies.

Nikitich [7]
Enzymes are made of strings of amino acids chemically bonded to one another. These bonds give each enzyme a unique structure, which determines its function. They mostly break down carbohydrates and fats. Once a protein source reaches your stomach, hydrochloric acid and enzymes called proteases break it down into smaller chains of amino acids. Amino acids are joined together by peptides, which are broken by proteases.
