Answer:
Destruction of the majority of the adrenal cortex would most likely result in decreased levels of mineralocorticoids, sex corticoids and glucocorticoids.
Explanation:
Adrenal glands are conical pyramid shaped glands. A pair of glands present above each kidney. It has an outer adrenal cortex region and inner adrenal medulla. Cortex and medulla secrete different hormones and are also regulated in different ways.
Adrenal cortex has three layers:
a. Outer zona glomerulosa: secretes mineralocorticoids like aldosterone - regulates the metabolism of sodium and potassium.
b. Middle zona fasciculata: secretes glucocorticoids like cortisol - regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
c. Inner zona reticularis: secretes sex corticoids like Androstenedione - stimulates the development of external sexual characteristics in males.
In a condition called Addison's disease, major part of the adrenal cortex is destroyed which results in deficiency of both mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids. Symptoms include bronze like pigmentation of skin, low BP, low plasma levels of Na+, high plasma levels of K+, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
Below 50 meters, the ice now behaves in a ductile manner rather than a brittle manner, meaning it will stretch and fold under stress rather than fracturing.

There is Homozygous Dominant which is two dominant alleles, then Homozygous Recessive which is two alleles that will only be shown if it is paired with heterozygous which is a Dominant and recessive. I hope that makes sense, sorry i’m bad at explaining but if it doesn’t I can try and explain it again.
