Answer:

Parathyroid hormone increases the level of calcium while calcitonin hormone  decreases the level of calcium in the blood.

Explanation:

Parathyroid hormone is a type of harmone which is responsible for balancing calcium in our body. When the calcium level lowers in our body, parathyroid hormone is secreted and calcium is absorbed from the bones and fullfilled the requirement of the body. If the tumor secreted calcitonin hormone instead of parathyroid hormone, the calcium level in the blood is lowered because it acts to the opposite of parathyroid hormone.

Many number of smaller and tiny spores that are tough, round shaped and microscopic, are produced by parent plants that has the ability to grow into many newer plants in asexual reproduction method only under certain conditions.   Multiple number of spores in the sacs of Rhizopus that is called as sporangia. Te structure of these sporangia is like a knob and these are  are present at the top of  hyphae which is like a thread.

When these sporangia bursts, the spores are scattered by rain, wind or insects and under suitable conditions develop into a new Rhizopus plant, when they fall on a suitable substance like bread. When a break occurs in these sporangia, scattering of these spores occurs and these develop into a new plant under some suitable conditions, when these falls on a substance say for an instance bread.
