Answer:

A) Calcitonin injection

Explanation:

Parafollicular cells or C-cells of the thyroid gland produce a hormone which is involved in the regulation of calcium levels in the blood. This hormone is Calcitonin. It works in an antagonistic manner with the Parathyroid hormone (PTH). Calcitonin decreases the calcium level in the blood by increasing absorption of calcium ions in bones. In osteoporosis, when the patient is given the injection of hormone calcitonin, it produces and increase in bone mass because it negatively affects the rate of absorption of bone by the osteoclasts.

maxonik [38]

Answer:

C. All projection maps are subject to varying types of distortion.

Explanation:

The only truly accurate representation of Earth is the globe, as earth is a sphere. When one tries to map out a 3-d sphere on a piece of paper, it is impossible without some kind of distortion occurring. This distortion happens with distance, size, and sometimes other factors. Different projections are used for different purposes because some are more accurate than others in terms of distance, size, relative position, etc.

The F1 dihybrid females were then used in a test cross. If the genes are always linked and no crossing over occurs, what would be the predicted ratio in the F2 generation?

GG x bb = Gb, Gb, Gb and Gb  F1 generation

grey body heterozygous offspring 4:0

Gb x Gb= GG, Gb, Gb, and bb F2 generation

3:1 three grey body fly and one black body fly
