Oxytocin and alcohol
Explanation:
Oxytocin helps to relax the muscles of the breasts and induce lactation in a breastfeeding mother. This hormone is commonly called the cuddle hormone since it helps to create the social and emotional bond between the child and the mother.
Alcohol clearly inhibits the secretion of oxytocin and breastfeeding immediately after alcohol consumption can reduce lactation and milk intake by the child. Maintaining an interval after an alcoholic drink again leads to delayed breastfeeding. Intoxicating levels of alcohol in breast milk can affect the child’s health.
Answer:
The probability of getting a dwarf and pink female is 1/2
Explanation:
In mice, dwarfism is caused by an X-linked recessive allele, and pink coat is caused by an autosomal dominant allele where coats are normally brownish.
A dwarf female from a pure line will have Xd Xd where d represent the recessive trait and the female is also brownish (pp).
A pink male from a pure line will be XPY where P represent the dominant allele but not a dwarf (D).
