Answer:

The answer is: Critical period

Explanation:

Thalidomide is an immunomodulatory drug, which is prescribed as a tranquilizer or hypnotic for insomnia, anxiety and gastritis.  

When administered by pregnant women during the first and the second trimester, this drug caused teratogenic deformities in the newborns.

The deformity caused depends majorly on how many days into the pregnancy the mother administered the drug. If the drug is taken up to day 28, it causes damage to the legs. This is because it is a critical period for the development of legs.

Critical period refers to the stage of development of the child. During this stage, the central nervous system is very sensitive to certain environmental stimuli.

An adequate level of the protein ___________ is required to signal the ___________ to increase its production of gonadotropin-re
I am Lyosha [343]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

  • estradiol; pituitary gland
  • testosterone; hypothalamus
  • leptin; hypothalamus
  • leptin; pituitary gland

Answer:

leptin; hypothalamus

Explanation:

Gonadotropin hormones are the peptide hormones released by the nerve cells of the hypothalamus which stimulates the anterior hormone to release the gonadotropins like the LH and FSH hormones.

The GnRH hormone is released when the leptin, a protein hormone secreted by the adipocytes stimulates the GnRH neurons of the hypothalamus to release the hormone in both males and females.

Thus, leptin; hypothalamus is the correct answer.
