Answer:
Graves´ disease is an autoinmmune disease that is caused when the immune system attacks the cells of the thyroid gland, which leads to an overproduction of the hormones secreted by the thyroid gland. This constant attack and destruction on the part of the immune cells causes the thyroid to increase in size, a condition that is commonly known as hyperthyroidism.
Hyperthyroidism can become a really serious issue because the excessive production of the hormones of the thyroid gland will increase the metabolic activity of all parts of the body and can, if left untreated, cause such serious conditions as blood clotting problems, type 1 diabetes, among others.
Ileostomy is a procedure where the end of the small intestine, called the ileum, is brought out of an opening in the belly through surgery.

Answer:
B. Carry heredity information
Explanation:
Nucleic acids are one of the four types of biological molecules in nature. The other three being: proteins, carbohydrates, lipids. Nucleic acids consists of Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and Ribonucleic acid (RNA).
DNA is a nucleic acid found in the NUCLEUS of eukaryotic cells or nucleoid region of prokaryotic cells where it functions to store or hold genetic information for the cell. On the other hand, RNA functions to carry the stored information in order to be expressed. Hence, according to this question, the nucleic acid functions to carry heredity information.
<span>The different adrenal hormones show selectivity for different types of adrenergic receptors. This may be because the chemical structures of the adrenal hormones are such that binding is biochemically easier for the hormones at the receptors to which they show a selective affinity.</span>
