Answer:
A mutation is generally referred to as certain alternations in the gene whether it may be DNA sequences, which may be beneficial, harmful or of no significance to the mutant gene bearing organisms.
Explanation:
- A mutation that increases the ability to store moisture in a dry environment is obviously beneficial. Because it prevents dehydration and maintains normal functioning in spite of adverse conditions.
- A color mutation that decreases a bird's chances of sexual selection is beneficial in the sense that it prevent certain abnormalities in offspring like sexual dimorphism. Also sexual selection often proves to be a threat to the survival of the organisms as per handicap principle.
- A mutation in non coding region of DNA is harmful, as it is often observed to facilitate expression of wrong proteins at inappropriate places.
- A mutation in the that does not changes protein synthesis increased white pigmentation on a prey animal in snowy environment as it had prevented adaption of the prey and hence harmful for survival of it.
- A mutation decreasing plant's height in competition to light, makes them less exposed to sun energy important for photosynthesis and hence it is harmful for the plant.
Answer:
This question lacks options, options are:
A) histamine
B) gastrin
C) secretin
D) ACh
The correct answer is C.
Hormones or paracrines that inhibit gastric secretion include <u>secretin
</u>.
Explanation:
Hormones pass into the blood that waters the digestive system, go to the heart, circulate through the arteries and return to the digestive system, where they stimulate the production of digestive juices. The hormones that control digestion are gastrin, secretin and cholecystokinin. Secretin is stimulated by intestinal acid at the duodenal level. Its effect inhibits gastric acid secretion, prostaglandin secretion and via somatostatin release. It decreases gastric emptying and stimulates bile and pancreatic bicarbonate secretion.
