Answer:

a. Glucagon is released by the beta cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans.

Explanation:

When the body is fasting, the pancreas releases glucagon so that your body can produce glucose. Glucagon is a protein hormone made and secreted by alpha cells from pancreatic islets (or islets of Langerhans).

The islets of Langerhans are a special group of cells in the pancreas that produce not only glucagon, but also insulin. These substances act as important regulators of sugar metabolism.

What is on a transplanted organ that causes the transplant recipient's body to reject it?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens

Explanation:

The process in which recipient body rejects the transplanted organ is called a allograft rejection or transplantation rejection.

A transplanted organ contains Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens which are required to be accepted by the recipient's body to function properly but T cells in recipient's body become alloreactive and recognize MHC antigens (donor-derived antigens) as foreign and starts making antibodies against it. Which means the recipient's body is rejecting the  transplanted organ.

Hence, the correct answer is "Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens".

Elenna [48]

Answer:

1. 50% of the genome comes from each parent because it is crucial otherwise if the ratio changes, the zygote may not form and if formed the fetus may have some other kind of chromosome number related syndromes etc.

2.  Sexual reproduction produces greater genetic variability than asexual methods. This is because of the process of crossing over during meiosis that exchange the segments of chromosome that is necessary for producing mutations and genetic variability.

3. 50% of chromosomes match with each parent because both of the parents contributed 23 chromosomes and exactly 50% of their genome.

4. The gametes must be produced by two different individuals cause that is the main purpose of sexual reproduction and give better survival like this to the forming next generation. Not to mention produces greater genetic variability among species.

5. Plants always produces both eggs because they are hermaphroditic in nature.
