Parathyroid hormone is secreted from parathyroid glands. Parathyroid hormone increases calcium levels in the blood when they are too low. Whereas as calcitonin is a hormone secreted by the parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland. It works antagonistically to the parathyroid hormone. This means that calcitonin reduces calcium levels in the blood when it is high. It is, therefore, the secretion of both calcitonin and parathyroid hormone is determined by the level of calcium in the blood.

Calcitonin is ahormone that is poduced in humans by the parafollicular cells (other wise known as c-cells) of the thyroid gland. Therefore, inhibition of the osteoclasts directly reuces the amount the amount of calcium released into the human blood. This is just a simple explanation so now all you have to do is understand what will happen when you combine calcitonin and parathyroid.

Sea weeds come under polyphyletic group of the phylogeny.

What is phylogeny?

Phylogeny is the study of a species' or group's evolutionary history, particularly as it relates to relationships and lines of descent among large groups of animals.

The idea that distinct species of plants or animals descended from a single ancestor is fundamental to phylogeny and is widely recognized in the scientific community. Since the majority of animals that have ever existed are extinct and only a small portion of their fossilized remnants have been preserved in the fossil record, the evidence for these relationships is almost always insufficient. Therefore, the majority of phylogenies are based on inferential data and are hypotheses. Commonly, different phylogenies can be inferred from the same evidence.

Crossing over is termed as a process by which genetic materials are exchanged by non-sister chromatids during meiosis.

Crossing over results in the new combination of information in genetic for, the cell for a specific trait.

 It ensures that organisms are identical from one generation to another. Genetic recombination allows variations in genetic materials which are passed through generations.

How do plants grow without sunlight
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer: by using artificial light (grow light) in place of sunlight

Explanation: Plants generally needs sunlight to grow and survive through a process known as photosynthesis, this is when Plants and other organism uses sunlight to convert water, carbon dioxide and minerals into energy rich compound (starch) while oxygen is been released into the environment.

However in the absence of sunlight, artificial light know as grow light can be used, these lights are design in such a way that it emits lights of wavelengths that are appropriate for photosynthesis. The grow light replaces the sun as a source of photons in the process of photosynthesis.
