Answer:
False
Explanation:
The thyroid gland secrete two thyroid hormones called thyroxine and triiodothyronine. Thyroxine is the in active form which is later converted to the active form triiodothyronine by kidneys and livers. The two hormones function by increasing the metabolic activities of tissues. They increase the body heat production which in turn increase oxygen consumption and ATP hydrolysis because they burn body fat thereby increasing energy production and increasing basal metabolic rate. They regulate body temperature.
Answer: a) true
Explanation:
The goal of mitosis is to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the mother cell, without a single extra or missing chromosome. Meiosis, on the other hand, is only used for one purpose in the human body: the production of gametes or sex cells, i.e. sperm and eggs. The question is oriented to mitosis, <u>in which prior to this cell division, the cell duplicates its DNA</u> so that each daughter cell then inherits the genetic material. That is, the cell originally possesses 23 chromosomes, they duplicate to a total of 46 so that then each daughter cell receives 23.
The metaphase is the second phase of mitosis and meiosis that occurs after prophase where the envelope is lost and microtubules of the achromatic spindle (also called meiotic or mitotic) appear.
During metaphase, the chromosomes align themselves in the middle of the cell and this balanced midline spindle alignment is due to the equal and opposing forces generated by the kinetochore brothers.
Then during metaphase, the chromosomes will line up in the center of the cell to be separated and go each to a different daughter cell. But the moment they're found there, each orientation of chromosomes produces gametes with the same genetic information from each parent. <u>Because because there have been no changes or mutations in the chromosomes, they have duplicated and have the same genetic information.</u>
The glands located besides the thyroid are the Parathyroid gland.
