A product of the anterior pituitary gland that causes color changes in it's target cells is melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH) .
Hence the correct answer is option D .
<h3>
What is the pituitary gland ? </h3>
Pituitary is known as the master gland of our body, because it controls and coordinates the development and functions of other endocrine glands. It is found in the base of the brain in a bony cavity called 'sella tursica' and is attached to the hypothalamus.
It has two parts - anterior pituitary ( also known as adenohypophysis) and posterior pituitary ( neurohypophysis).
<h3>
What is anterior pituitary?</h3>
The anterior pituitary has two parts para distalis and pars intermedia. Of this , FSH, LH, TSH, ACTH etc., is released by pars distalis, and the only hormone from pars intermedia is the MSH .
- FSH - Follicle Stimulating Hormone - Stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles for next menstrual cycle.
- LH - Luteinizing Hormone - Induces ovulation of fully mature follicles and maintains corpus luteum.
- TSH - Thyroid Stimulating Hormone - Stimulates secretions of Thyroid gland.
- MSH - Melanocyte stimulating hormone - acts on melanocytes ( cells with melanin, a pigment ) and regulates the pigmentation of the skin.
Hence from the above points ,we can conclude that MSH causes color changes in it's target cells.
So correct answer is option D .

Trypsin is a serine protease found in digestive system of vertebrates. they are produced in the pancreas.it catalyzes the hydrolysis of peptide bonda, breaking down into smaller peptides
in tissue culture, trypsin is used to re suspend cells adherent to the cell culture dish wall.
Erepsin is a protein found in intestinal juices but can also be found in many other cells.
Answer:when visiting the Channel Islands, you can't help but be amazed by creatures such as the island fox, night lizard, deer mouse, island scrub jay, and ashy storm-petrel, just to name a few of the endemic species. The Channel Islands were also once home to the pygmy mammoth, a now extinct dwarf elephant that evolved in this insular environment.
Along with these endemic species are many of what biologists call invasive species, species that originated from elsewhere but have found a home in the Channel Islands. These include sweet fennel, olive trees, and Australian blue gum trees. For a time, elk and deer could also be found here as well.
Explanation:
Biogeographical studies use information for various fields, such as evolutionary biology, geography, geology, and climate science to determine how organisms evolved through time and how the moving of tectonic plates resulting in forming continents, mountain ranges and islands has affected their distribution.
Studies in this field explain how organisms that now live on different continents are very closely related and how the flora and fauna of islands are connected to one of the closest continents etc.
