Why is progesterone production in the corpus luteum important in the first trimester of pregnancy?

Biology
1 answer:
Contact [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

a. To maintain the uterine lining

Explanation:

Progesterone is secreted by the cells of the corpus luteum. During the uterine cycle, it prepares the uterine endometrium for implantation. During the first trimester, progesterone maintains the uterine lining. Higher levels of progesterone inhibit the secretion of GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone). This results in inhibition of the secretions of FSH and LH which in turn are required for the development of follicle and ovulation respectively.

Lower levels of progesterone during pregnancy results in sloughing off of uterine lining and the embryo during menstruation causing abortion.

11. Question: Imagine 20 babies were born. 10 had blue eyes, and 10 had brown eyes. What traits do their parents probably have?
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is - brown heterozygous Bb and blue eye bb.

Explanation:

In the provided question it is given that there are 20 babies born, 10 babies had blue eyes and 10 had brown eyes. As it is known that brown eyes are dominant over blue eyes, therefore, on the basis of this we can say that all blue-eyed babies have a bb genotype and as brown eyes are dominant traits babies must have at least one copy of the B allele which represents brown eye trait.

case1:

Parent 1 : bb

parent 2: BB

   B      B

b  Bb   Bb

b   Bb   Bb

there are 100% brown eye offspring so this is not the case

case 2:

Parent 1 : bb

parent 2: Bb

   B      b

b  Bb   bb

b   Bb   bb

here, 50% brown eyes and 50% blue eyes offspring produced thus, the parent trait will be brown heterozygous and blue eye.

Based on the trends shown in the data, explain why some rectangular cells include folds or projections in their plasma membranes
NikAS [45]

Answer:

The folds or projections in the plasma membrane works to increase the surface area of the membrane by many-fold. As can be seen by the increase in certain values, there is a greater surface-area-to -volume-ratio which is indicative of the advantage that cellular processes take place more efficiently this way. Hence, it's favorable for the cells to have folds in its membrane, for instance the villi in the small intestine are finger-like projections that helps in efficient absorption of food into the bloodstream.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
