Answer:

A. Dihydrofolate reductase—methotrexate

Explanation:

Dihydrofolate reductase is an enzyme that reduces dihydrofolic acid to tetrahydrofolic acid. Methotrexateis its inhibitor. It interferes with folate metabolism by acting as a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme.

Since folateis necassary for rapid dividing cells, such as cancer cells, methotrexate can be used as anticancer drug that inhibits DHFR.

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

<u>Luteinizing hormone </u>(LH) stimulates Leydig cells to secrete testosterone

<u>Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)</u> stimulates Sertoli cells to secrete protein and other molecules required for spermatogenesis

Explanation:

Under the influence of gonadotropin-releasing hormone, the anterior pituitary releases luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). In males, LH stimulates interstitial cells of testes (Leydig cell) to secrete the hormone testosterone. FSH acts indirectly to stimulate spermatogenesis by causing the release of androgen-binding protein (ABP) from the Sertoli cells. The function of ABP is to maintain the higher concentrations of testosterone to stimulate the final steps of spermatogenesis in the seminiferous tubules.

The forelimbs of humans, cats, and bats have a number of detailed similarities in their construction. what best explains these s
bulgar [2K]
Evolution :).

Descent with modification helps to explain anatomical similarities among certain species. The bones of the forelimbs of humans, cats, and bats (you can add in penguins, alligators, and more) are used in different ways but have similar structures.

The best explanation is that these animals have a common ancestor. With new generations, new species emerged by natural selection from different populations, and with this, the bones become better for different tasks.

The forelimbs and other such structures with anatomical similarities due to a common ancestor are called homologous structures.
