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.

True or false: An allele is a version of a gene?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

I will give an example. Two plants cross breeds. A pink flower and a red flower. The red flower has a gene for red color and the pink has a gene for pink color. Mix the two together and you have an offspring with two different genes, or alleles, that are either going to be mixed or the plant will be one or the other color.

Answer: The correct option is D (Antimicrobials).

Explanation:

Antimicrobial treatment is defined as therapies that are given to patients to either inhibit or kill the growth of microorganisms IN their body cells. The antimicrobial treatment can be grouped into two based on their mechanism of action. These includes:

--> Microbiocidal therapy: This type of treatment when given, kills the microorganisms in the cells of the patient.

--> Microbiostatic therapy: This type of treatment aims at inhibiting the growth of microorganisms when administered to a patient.

The antimicrobial drugs achieve their role usually through their different modes of action which includes:

--> cell wall inhibition

--> inhibition of cell membrane function

--> protein and nucleic acid synthesis inhibition.

Disinfects, antiseptic and sterilisation are all different ways of eliminating microorganisms but not used as invitro (within) treatment for patients. Therefore the term that best matches the description given is antimicrobials.
