0. Summarize the effects of progesterone and estrogen

Biology
1 answer:

6 0

Answer:

Estrogen and progesterone are both involved in preparing the endometrium for embryo implantation. Estrogen helps to ensure conception by increasing the amount of secretory glands in the uterus. Estrogen also increases blood supply to the endometrium.

Progesterone is crucial for embryo implantation and maintenance of pregnancy. Progesterone also enlarges secretory glands that produce carbohydrates, proteins and mucin that are required for embryo nourishment before implantation. Progesterone stabilizes endometrial muscles to prevent them from contracting during pregnancy.

Explanation:

  • Estrogen and progesterone are steroid hormones of the reproductive system. Estrogen helps in conception whereas progesterone maintains pregnancy.
  • Estrogen is secreted during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle that promotes the growth and maturation of follicles in the ovary.
  • Estrogen also induces oestrous behavior in females.
  • Secreted by the corpus luteum, progesterone is also a steroid hormone, responsible for implantation of the embryo in the uterus.

IrinaVladis [17]

Complete question:

If the recessive allele for cystic fibrosis is represented as c, classify the following genotypes as homozygous dominant, homozygous recessive, or carriers: CC,Cc, and cc. State which one has the phenotype of cystic fibrosis.

Answer:

CC - homozygous dominant

cc - homozygous recessive

Cc - carriers

cc will have the phenotype

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder that affects the production of mucus in the body, primarily affecting the lungs and digestive system.

Because it is autosomal recessive, an affected individual needs to inherit 2 copies of the faulty gene. The presence of just one normal copy of the gene is sufficient not to cause the disease

In genetics, the dominant allele is usually displayed as a capital letter and the recessive as a small letter. Homozygous means someone has 2 copies of the same allele, heterozygous means they have different alleles. Therefore, CC - homozygous dominant, cc - homozygous recessive, and Cc - carriers. Only those with a cc genotype will be affected, as the presence of one dominant allele is enough to block the phenotype

All of the following would decrease the glycemic index of a food EXCEPT:
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

b. adding butter. increasing the ripeness of fruit.

Explanation:

The addition of whole kernels helps to reduce the glycemic index (GI), because the larger the carbohydrate particle, the longer it takes the body to absorb it, decreasing the blood glucose peaks.

In addition, the addition of <u>lean</u> <u>protein</u> to meals helps to lower glucose spikes by reducing digestion time.

The addition of a fat like butter would not reduce the glycemic index due to its energy load (9 kcal per gram). In addition, increasing the ripeness of the fruit will also increase the GI.
