Question: Which pituitary hormone causes liver cells to release somatomedins that increase the rate of uptake of amino acids by cells such as skeletal muscle fibers?
follicle-stimulating hormone
prolactin
thyroid-stimulating hormone
growth hormone
Answer:
growth hormone
Explanation:
Somatomedins are growth factors. The growth hormone makes the cells such as liver cells, skeletal muscles, bones, etc. to secrete the somatomedins. The somatomedins from the liver enter the bloodstream to reach the target cells. The somatomedins make the skeletal muscles, bones, etc. to absorb amino acids into the cells so as to facilitate protein synthesis. This growth factor also downregulates the breakdown of proteins. This is how growth hormone triggers the growth of muscles and soft tissues.
b:failure of pituitary gland to secrete ADH .caauses diabetes inspidus.
c:located at the kidney.cortex dark in colour and its the outermost.medulla red in colour and lies at the centre.
Answer:
Stabilizing selection
Explanation:
The process of natural selection selects a species in one of the three ways: stabilizing selection, directional selection and disruptive selection.
During the process of stabilizing selection, nature does not favour the extreme phenotypes of the population but the intermediate phenotype with the maximum number of population.
In the given question, the Robin laid four eggs, neither more than four nor less than four which could have more disadvantages than the advantages. Since the intermediate number of eggs is favoured by nature therefore the stabilizing pattern is observed.
Thus, Stabilizing selection is correct.
