Tomas had low levels of calcium in his body. Vitamin D is essential in maintaining a calcium balance. He started taking vitamin

D supplements. Because Tomas took high doses of vitamin D, the calcium levels in his body increased. Which endocrine glands will help maintain homeostasis by regulating the increased calcium levels?

The endocrine glands are The parathyroid glands.

The parathyroid glands are classically four in number for the majority of patients. They secrete parathyroid hormone, a hormone needed for calcium metabolism. The overproduction of parathyroid hormone or parathyroid hormone, or on the contrary, the deficiency of parathyroid hormone (PTH), are two pathologies that can affect the parathyroid glands.

Parathyroid glands are original endocrine glands: they are devoid of pituitary control. It is the changes in blood calcium that regulate their secretion.

Parathyroid hormone secreted by parathyroids raises the level of calcium in the blood.

Parathyroid hormone plays a crucial role in the metabolism of calcium and vitamin D.

<h2>Endothermic Process</h2>

Explanation:

An example of endothermic process is :

Heat is needed for water to boil.

Endothermic process can be defined as a process in which heat energy is absorbed from the surrounding that bring about changes in the molecular level like breaking chemical bonds, inter-molecular force of attraction etc.

Boiling of water is an endothermic process because during this process water absorbs heat , its kinetic energy increases and then it boils.

Albinism in humans is caused by homozygosity for mutant recessive alleles of the tyr gene, which is located on chromosome 11. al

Exactly 989527/1048576, or approximately 94.37%  
Since each trait is carried on a different chromosome, the two traits are independent of each other. Since both parents are heterozygous for the trait, each parent can contribute 1 of a possible 4 combinations of the alleles. So there are 16 possible offspring. I'll use "a", "A", "b", "B" to represent each allele and the possible children are aabb, aabB, aaBb, aaBB, aAbb, aAbB, aABb, aABB, Aabb, AabB, AaBb, AaBB, AAbb, AAbB, AABb, and AABB 
Of the above 16 possibilities, there are 7 that are homozygous in an undesired traint and 9 that don't exhibit the undesired trait. So let's first calculate the probability of "what are the chances that all 5 children not exhibiting an undesired trait?" and then subtract that result from 1. So 
1-(9/16)^5 = 1 - 59049/1048576 = 989527/1048576 which is approximately 0.943686485 = 94.3686485%  
So the answer is exactly 989527/1048576, or approximately 94.37%
