Is this a fill in the blank question if so holla at me and I'll help
Answer:
Option A
Explanation:
Thyroid is primarily caused by lack of iodine but there are other reasons as well that lead to increased size of the thyroid gland. Some of these reason is
a) over- or underproduction of thyroid hormones
b) Nodules in the glans
Some times, due to overstimulation immune system itself attack the thyroid gland thereby producing excess thyroxine and hence causing the thyroid to swell
Thus, Option A is correct
The correct option is this: NATURAL SELECTION FAVOR G6PD DEFICIENCY AS COMPARED TO MALARIA.
As we are told in the passage given above, G6DP enzyme helps the red blood cells to function very well. So those people who lack this enzyme have red blood cells that are not functioning very well and this usually result in heamolytic aneaemia. Remember that the parasite that cause malaria normally need red blood cells to survive, thus, for people who lack G6DP malaria can not survive in their blood. Since lack of G6DP enzyme mostly occur in people of African origin where mosquitoes abound, researchers believe that the lack of G6DP enzyme in these people red blood cells is a natural selection method by which the body is preventing itself from been attacked by mosquitoes.
You used hypothesis because you made an educated guess without any experiments.
The correct answer is the lungs. Usually, in the systemic organs such as the liver, kidneys, and the heart; hypoxia or low oxygen levels cause the blood vessels supplying them to vasodilate to increase flow of blood and prevent ischemia. Adequate oxygenation of systemic organs cause the blood supply to vasoconstrict to prevent pooling of oxygenated blood and shunt it to other organs that need the oxygen more.
However, in the lungs, the opposite is true because in the setting of hypoxia, the blood vessels of the lungs vasoconstrict as to shunt the blood to other parts of the lungs with adequate oxygenation for the blood to be adequately oxygenated. If there is adequate oxygen in the lungs, then blood vessels vasodilate to efficiently get the oxygen from the lungs.
