Answer:
B. Glucagon
Explanation:
Glucagon is a pancreatic hormone, secreted by the alpha cells of islets of Langerhans. Whenever the blood glucose level falls, glucagon is released to increase the blood glucose levels. This function of glucagon is quite opposite to the function of insulin and hence both are antagonistic hormones. Insulin reduces the blood glucose where as glucagon increases the blood glucose.
Glucoagon is large polypeptide of 29 amino acids. Since it helps in increasing the blood glucose homeostatic levels it is called as hyperglycemic hormone. It does so by stimulating certain processes such as:
- Stimulating Glycogenolysis i.e breakdown of glycogen to release more glucose from liver.
- Stimulating Gluconeogenesis i.e. synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources like proteins.
- Glucagon inhibits the process of glycogenesis i.e. synthesis of glycogen, the storage form of glucose.
A sperm and egg combine to make a zygote. (or fertilized egg)
So, the answer would be "A".
I hope this helps!

If we name the gene for freckles with F, then the genotypes for having freckles are Ff (heterozygous), FF (dominant homozygous) and for no freckles ff (recessive homozygous).
If we name the gene for nose shape with N, than the genotypes for broad noses are NN (dominant homozygous) and Nn (heterozygous) and for narrow noses nn (recessive homozygous). A cross between two heterozygous:
P: FfNn x FfNn
F1:
9/16 are with freckles and broad noses
3/16 are with freckles and narrow noses
3/16 are with no freckles and broad noses
1/16 are with no freckles and narrow noses.
This is because some of the trisomies (one extra chromosome, three instead of two) are fatal, births cannot survive.
Theoretically, trisomies can occur with any chromosome, but often result in miscarriage.
The types of autosomal trisomy that survive to birth in humans are:
Trisomy 8 or Warkany syndrome 2
Trisomy 9
Trisomy 13 or Patau syndrome
Trisomy 18 or Edwards syndrom
Trisomy 21 or Down syndrome.
One species is nocturnal, and the other species is not.
