Answer:

1. The pituitary gland is collected from a recently-killed fish - donor through the removal of the dorsal side of the skull.

2. The pituitary glands are preserved in alcohol or nitrogen (freezing method).

3. The pituitary gland is prepared by locating it in distilled water or a saline solution

4. Intramuscular administration via injection.

5. Fish are released inside a breeding tank.

Explanation:

Hyphosysation is a technique that is used to induce reproduction in fish when they are unable to spawn because conditions are not optimal. During this process, fish are injected with substances that are released from the pituitary gland, leading to the acceleration of spawning. These secretions are: Somatotropic hormone, Adrenocarticotropic hormone, Prolactin, amongst others.

This process uses two inducing agents: natural (pituitary substances) and synthetic (e.g. steroids).

The process consists of the next steps (summarized):

1. The pituitary gland is collected from a recently-killed fish - donor through the removal of the dorsal side of the skull.

2. The pituitary glands are preserved in alcohol or nitrogen (freezing method).

3. The pituitary gland is prepared by locating it in distilled water or a saline solution

4. Intramuscular administration via injection.

5. Fish are released inside a breeding tank.

Answer:

a. occurs right before the best growing season

Explanation:

Seed dormancy prevents seeds from germinating in unsuitable conditions such as competing for light and water with other plants or being able to be eaten from a high population of herbivores species during certain seasons.

If a dormant seed is broken after prolonged cold treatment, then this cold part of the year occurs right before the best growing season for this dormant seed. The native habitat of the plant must have an undetermined and cold season that breaks seed dormancy.
