Answer: The right answer is -

A) Gene flow

Explanation:

Gene flow is a process of gene migration or the transfer of gene variant (also called allele, which is responsible for genetic variation in population) from one population to another population.

As a consequence of gene migration, new alleles are introduced or added in the already existing population, thereby increasing genetic diversity.

Thus, option A) is the right answer.

Next to each gland listed below, write the name of the hormone or hormones it produces.

MrMuchimi

1. PITUITARY:
The anterior pituitary gland produces the following hormones and releases them into the bloodstream: adrenocorticotropichormone, which stimulates the adrenal glands to secrete steroid hormones, principallycortisol. growth hormone, which regulates growth, metabolism and body composition.

2.THYROID:
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)Luteinizing Hormone (LH)Prolactin (PRL)Growth Hormone (GH)Alpha Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone (α-MSH)Vasopressin.Oxytocin.
The 2 main thyroid hormones are T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine). T3 and T4 regulate your body's temperature, metabolism and heart rate. The amount of thyroid hormones secreted is controlled by another hormone, called thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), which is released from thepituitary gland in your brain.

5. PANCREAS:

7. OVARY: The ovaries also produce steroid hormones, Estrogen and progesterone
