Answer:The uterus has receptors for oxytocin, but not for cholecystokinin.

Explanation:

Both of the hormones are released and travel via same pathway towards the  uterus. The uterus responds to oxytocin but does not responds to cholecystokinin because the uterus has no receptor for this hormone.

Cholesystokinin is secreted from gastrointestinal system and is responsible for stimulating the digestion of protein and fat.

Whereas oxytocin plays a major role in the childbirth, sexual reproduction and social bonding.

How would you account for the fact that fossils of fish are not present in the older layers of rock?
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

The fish did not yet exist when the old layers of rocks were deposited. In fact, animals with hard parts did not evolve until about 600 million years ago, which is only about 13% of the 4.5 billion year age of the Earth. Multicellular animals without hard parts left tracks in older sediments, but had no fossilize-able body parts.
