A product of the anterior pituitary gland that causes color changes in it's target cells is melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH) .
Hence the correct answer is option D .
<h3>
What is the pituitary gland ? </h3>
Pituitary is known as the master gland of our body, because it controls and coordinates the development and functions of other endocrine glands. It is found in the base of the brain in a bony cavity called 'sella tursica' and is attached to the hypothalamus.
It has two parts - anterior pituitary ( also known as adenohypophysis) and posterior pituitary ( neurohypophysis).
<h3>
What is anterior pituitary?</h3>
The anterior pituitary has two parts para distalis and pars intermedia. Of this , FSH, LH, TSH, ACTH etc., is released by pars distalis, and the only hormone from pars intermedia is the MSH .
- FSH - Follicle Stimulating Hormone - Stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles for next menstrual cycle.
- LH - Luteinizing Hormone - Induces ovulation of fully mature follicles and maintains corpus luteum.
- TSH - Thyroid Stimulating Hormone - Stimulates secretions of Thyroid gland.
- MSH - Melanocyte stimulating hormone - acts on melanocytes ( cells with melanin, a pigment ) and regulates the pigmentation of the skin.
Hence from the above points ,we can conclude that MSH causes color changes in it's target cells.
So correct answer is option D .

Answer:
Bacteria
Virus
Parasite
Fungi
Explanation:
A Bacteria is a single-celled biotic pathogen that is infectious. Bacteria are prokaryotes(single celled) and also form part of the disease causing organisms .
A Virus is an abiotic pathogen that is infectious.
A Parasite is a biotic pathogen that lives off its host. It sometimes uses structures such as hooks to obtain nutrient material from its host.
A Fungi is a biotic multi-celled pathogen that causes infections like ringworm.
As species’ offsprings have mutations, those mutations can either give them an advantage or disadvantage in survival. If a certain trait is better than the other, that means there is a higher number of survival rate for the species, allowing them to reproduce and make that trait common. After time the species will look differently than what it did in the prior generations. That is evolution.
Explanation:
factors in population growth include:
(1)Healthcare
(2)Availability of birth control/availability of family planning education/use of birth control
(3)Political or economic stability
(4) Food availability
