B) aldosterone
C) atrial natriuretic hormone
D) oxytocin
E) prolactin
The correct answer is B.
Women have a tendency to retain water during part of the menstrual cycle because estrogen mimics the action of <u>aldosterone</u>.
Explanation:
The female sex hormones produced by the ovary (estrogens and progesterone) are substances that, through the blood, will carry messages to all the organs of the female genital system (uterus, tubes and ovaries) to achieve their correct function. Aldosterone concentration normally increases at the time of ovulation and remains elevated during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. Women present during the premenstrual phase, compared to the luteal and follicular phases, an increase in body weight, due to an increase in fluid retention, this because the menstrual cycle modulates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. High levels of estrogen and progesterone in the mid-luteal phase are associated with a greater increase in adrenal and renal hormones and retention of more volume.
Answer:
Besides storing genetic information, nucleic acids helps in
Understanding diseases
Creation of proteins
Transmission of information
Explanation:
Understanding diseases
Knowledge about the nucleic acids and their mechanism of action helps in understanding the causes of a disease and the possible cure for the disease. A genetic disease is caused when there is a faulty gene, which is made up of nucleic acids, is present in the genome. These genes will make faulty RNA's which will result in the establishment of faulty proteins. Hence, by having understanding about nucleic acids, diseases can be studies and cured.
Creation of proteins
The information from the DNA is coded by the mRNA which is used to make proteins.
Transmission of information
Apart from storing information, the nucleic acids such as the DNA are also involved in the transmission of information.
