Answer:

The correct answer will be B.(Can cause cancers)

Explanation:

Somatic mutations are mutations present or found in the somatic cells or non-germ-line cells.

since these mutations are present in the somatic cells and not in the germ cells so they cannot be passed on to the progeny.

But these mutations in the somatic cells can cause  tumor which can lead to cancer. This happens if the gene causing cancer for e.g- Proto-oncogene or tumor suppressor gene is involved in cell division is mutated. So, the mutated gene is passed on to the daughter cells during cell division and shows uncontrolled differentiation of cells causing cancer.

Thus, option B is correct.

An intestinal hormone that stimulates the release of insulin from the pancreatic islet cells is?
slava [35]

Secretin is a hormone produced in the intestines that promote the release of insulin from pancreatic islet cells.

Discussion about secretin:

  • When fatty acids and acidic chyme are present, secretin is released. It performs a number of functions by attaching to secretin receptors, the majority of which are related to digestion and acid neutralization.
  • In its principal function, secretin tells the pancreas to release bicarbonate ions into the pancreatic juice, raising the pH to between 8 and 8.3 in order to neutralize the acidic chyme. The pancreatic juice's digesting enzymes may function at their best as a result, safeguarding the duodenum's lining.
  • Additionally, secretin controls the pyloric sphincter's tightness, gastrin release, HCl synthesis, and small intestine motility.

As a result, secretin also encourages the pancreas to produce more insulin in response to ingesting glucose.
