Complete Question:
Which of the following might stimulate the cephalic phase of gastric secretion?
A. stomach distention
B. the production of saliva
C. the thought of food
D. the production and secretion of gastrin.
Answer:
C. the thought of food
Explanation:
Gastric secretion usually occurs in three different phases, namely;
- Cephalic
- Gastric
- Intestinal
The thought of food usually stimulate the cephalic phase of gastric secretion in organisms. The presence of lipids or low pH inhibits Gastric secretion during the intestinal phase.
Answer:
B. Oncogene
Explanation:
A gene that makes the body cells to divide in an uncontrolled manner is called an oncogene. An oncogene is responsible for the development of tumors due to disturbed regulation of cell division. The gene src makes the cells to enter the process of cell division in response to the growth factors.
However, the mutant src gene does not require the presence of growth factors and signals the cells to enter the process of cell division even in the absence of the growth factors. Since the mutant src gene causes uncontrolled cell division, it represents an oncogene.

See the answer below
Explanation:
<em>Amphibians are not totally adapted to live on land because the aquatic environment is needed for several life processes such as </em><em>reproduction</em><em>, </em><em>respiration</em><em>, and sometimes, </em><em>feeding</em><em>.</em>
<u>The eggs of amphibians are without any protective shells and will suffer desiccation in the terrestrial environment. Hence, water is needed in order to protect the eggs. In addition, the male am</u>phibians shed their sperm in the water close to the female eggs.
<u>The young ones of amphibians are essentially aquatic and may not survive out of water for a long time because they only breathe gills</u> - the lung is yet to develop or poorly developed at this stage. They have to grow and develop to a certain stage in water before they can start surviving on land.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
The changes in eating noted in the first study are due to fibers that are passing through the lateral hypothalamus. The lateral hypothalamus is a region of the brain with a key function of coordinating an array of cognitive and physical processes such as feeding
A representative sample is a reflection of the characteristics of the certain group ( population) as a whole. Sample size is the number of representative samples (individual pieces of data) used to calculate a set of statistics. The greater this number the better the determination of the average values of their data. Having greater number of samples also avoids errors from testing a small number of possibly atypical samples.
