The correct answer is: C) the random and independent way in which each pair of homologous chromosomes lines upat the metaphase plate during meiosis I
Independent assortment is the second Mendel’s law which states that the alleles of two/more different genes are sorted into gametes independently.
When homologous pairs line up during the metaphase at meiosis I they do that random. This means that formed gametes will get different combinations of "mom" and "dad" homologues and consequently, different alleles on those homologues.
Answer:
The correct answer is: The ventromedial hypothalamus plays a role in satiety.
Explanation:
The hypothalamus is a part of the brain that controls many important bodily functions and connects both the nervous system with the endocrine system. The hypothalamus consists of several nuclei that have diverse functions and are located in 3 different regions.
The nucleus that plays a role in satiety is the ventromedial nucleus, terminating hunger and giving a sensation of fullness. It also plays a significant role in thermoregulation, among other things.
Neuropeptide Y, on the other hand, is a peptide that is released to make us feel hungry and encourage us to intake food (primarily carbohydrates).
Cholecystokinin is a hormone released by the small intestines after we had a meal, and its function is to improve digestion and make us feel full.
Fat cells DO release leptin, but the function of this hormone is to produce satiety, by stimulating anorexigenic (meaning they take hunger away) hormones and inhibiting orexigenic ones, like Neuropeptide Y.
