The answer is - hypothesis.


In here we have a situation where the scientist has be observing a certain behavior of the snakes under certain conditions. So he has some basis for proposing it as new exciting discovery, but the evidence are still basic ones and further investigation is needed.

Considering the definition for what is a hypothesis - ''a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation'' - it perfectly fits the given scenario.

Which steroid hormone(s) would not be produced if you blocked the activity of p450scc?
natka813 [3]
P450scc or cholesterol side chain cleavage enzyme is an enzyme that converts cholesterol into pregnenolone (the precursor for steroids). The kinds of steroid hormones are mineralocorticoids (i.e. aldosterone) glucocorticoids (i.e. cortisol), and sex steroids (i.e. testosterone, estrogen). In the event where P450scc is blocked, then there will be no production of mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, and sex steroids. There will be no production of aldosterone, cortisol, estradiol, testosterone, and progesterone. This disease is called Lipoid Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia.

Explain why it is important for dying cells to be properly removed
victus00 [196]
Cells within the body are properly arranged and their production uses up resources of the body. For example, red blood cells use iron while being produced. The body must dispose of cell properly to maintain the orderly arrangement of cells; for example, if dead skin cells were not removed, we would lose feeling in our skin due to the layer of dead cells. Moreover, the body must work to minimize wastage. This is why some of the iron from red blood cells is removed and reused.

Alex17521 [72]

The answer is cervix. It is cylindrical in shape and found at the base of the uterus and where the vagina begins. It is 2 – 3 cm long. The cervix enlargens during pregnancy to allow the passage of the fetus during childbirth. It is also a conduit for sperm from the vagina to the uterus as they swim upstream to fertilize the egg.
