A product of the anterior pituitary gland that causes color changes in it's target cells is melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH) .
Hence the correct answer is option D .
<h3>
What is the pituitary gland ? </h3>
Pituitary is known as the master gland of our body, because it controls and coordinates the development and functions of other endocrine glands. It is found in the base of the brain in a bony cavity called 'sella tursica' and is attached to the hypothalamus.
It has two parts - anterior pituitary ( also known as adenohypophysis) and posterior pituitary ( neurohypophysis).
<h3>
What is anterior pituitary?</h3>
The anterior pituitary has two parts para distalis and pars intermedia. Of this , FSH, LH, TSH, ACTH etc., is released by pars distalis, and the only hormone from pars intermedia is the MSH .
- FSH - Follicle Stimulating Hormone - Stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles for next menstrual cycle.
- LH - Luteinizing Hormone - Induces ovulation of fully mature follicles and maintains corpus luteum.
- TSH - Thyroid Stimulating Hormone - Stimulates secretions of Thyroid gland.
- MSH - Melanocyte stimulating hormone - acts on melanocytes ( cells with melanin, a pigment ) and regulates the pigmentation of the skin.
Hence from the above points ,we can conclude that MSH causes color changes in it's target cells.
So correct answer is option D .

I believe the answer is A) energy pyramid
Explanation:
It's talking about trophic levels, as opposed to individual organisms.
Question in English:
A female carries a recessive lethal gene (l) on one of her X chromosomes, and a normal dominant allele (L) on the other. What is the sex ratio to be expected in this woman's dependency if she marries a normal man?
Answer:
2/3 females
1/3 males
Explanation:
Females have two X chromosomes (XX) and males have an X and a Y chromosome (XY).
The genotype of the female is XLXl. The genotype of the male is XLY, since he is normal.
The possible genotypes are:
<u> XL Xl</u>
<u>XL</u> <em>XLXL XLXl</em>
<u>Y</u> <em>XLY </em><em>XlY</em>
<em />
All female offspring will be normal as they will always have one normal copy of the X chromosome from their father.
50% of the male offspring will be normal, but 50% will inherit the lethal gene from their mother.
Because the allele is lethal, that means XlY males will not be born.
That means 2/3 of the children will be females, and 1/3 will be males.
The answer to this question would be: vertebrae
In vertebrae fracture, traction is important to assure immobilization of the vertebrae. Movement can cause the fragment of bone in the fracture damaging the neural tissue in the vertebrae.
To ensure no movement in the neck, metal tongs can be put on the skull. The tongs will help fixate the skull with the shoulder.
Answer:
The percentage (%) of the alleles that code for this trait in the population will increase, as more individuals are born with the trait.
Explanation:
The more individuals get born expressing the trait, the higher its frequency gets in the population. By generation, there are more individuals carrying the allele for the advantageous trait. These individuals reproduce and increase the probabilities of the progeny to inherit the mentioned allele. When this sequence keeps occurring in the population over many generations, the allele percentage will increase. On the other hand, the other allele or alleles will decrease. Probably, if there are no changes that might influence or affect this pattern, the alleles for the advantageous trait will fixate, while the other allele might get lost.
