What causes the formation of a cervical plug a testorone b progesterone c luteal d estroge e follicle

Biology

Answer: The correct option is B (progesterone).

Explanation:

The cervix is the ring of muscles also called the neck of the uterus in female reproductive system. This protrudes through the anterior wall of the vagina, opening into it at the external os.

After the fertilization of the ovum by the spermatozoa, the uterus prepares for the implantation which results from the secretion of hormones. Under the influence of oetrogen, secreted by the developing follicle, the cells of the endometrium divide rapidly causing the endometrium to build up and thicken.

While the viscosity of cervical mucus changes in response to hormone levels and during pregnancy, progesterone fosters the production of highly viscous mucus resulting in the formation of a plug that forms a physical barrier to bacteria and prevents their ascension into the uterine cavity. This plug is called CERVICAL PLUG.

Answer:

b progesterone

Explanation:

The plug is formed as soon as there is implantation of fertilized eggs. The thickness of the cervical mucus becomes different as hormone levels changes in pregnancy.  

The progesterone, encourages the production of thick fluid/ mucus  which brings about the formation of a plug. This prevents bacteria from getting into the uterine cavity.

What are the similarities in the way a barchan forms and the way a hooked spit forms?
choli [55]

Answer:

The similarities in the way barchan and hooked spit forms are:

First, they are formed from sediment or sand movement.

Second, this movement makes them have a peculiar curved form that provides them their major characteristic.

Explanation:

First of all, barchans are sand formations that are created after the accumulation of sand in a place is moved by the wind and provides them a curved form. However, they exist only out of the sea.

Second, hooked spits are formations that happen after sea movement displaces the sediment to create a curved structure that can only exist in the sea. These formations affect the strength and direction of the waves in the sea due to their curved form.

One advantage of using dns assay to detect maltose production is
Alenkinab [10]
The one advantage of using DNS assay to detect maltose production is the formation of a soluble and colored product compound. 
The reaction that occurs between maltose and DNS in the assay is a redox reaction (reduction and oxidation) such that maltose gets oxidized and becomes Maltonic Acid while the DNS gets reduced into reduced DNS. The  intensity of orange/brown /red color of reduced DNS is proportionately related to the amount of Maltose in the solution.

HELP ME ASAP PLEASE.<br><br>How does water move from leaves to root? explain ​
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

During transpiration, water will evaporate from tiny holes in the surfaces of leaves into the air (the tiny holes are called stomata). As the water molecules evaporate from plant leaves, they attract the water molecules still in the plant, helping to pull water up through the stems from the roots.

Hope this helps!    *please mark me as brainliest :)
