Answer:
An autoimmune problem involving the thyroid gland: C. Graves' disease
Hyposecretion of growth hormone: Pituitary dwarfism
Hyposecretion of the pancreas: E. Diabetes mellitus
Hyposecretion of the adrenal cortex: B. Addison's disease
Hypersecretion of growth hormone: A. Acromegaly
Explanation:
Growth hormone is the hormone from the anterior pituitary gland that targets the tissues such as muscles, bones, cartilage, liver, etc. and stimulates the somatic growth of the body. Its hypersecretion leads to acromegaly in adults while its hyposecretion causes dwarfism in children characterized by stunted growth. There is abnormal thickening of specific bones in acromegaly.
Pancreatic hormone insulin serves to lower down the blood glucose levels. Insulin deficiency causes diabetes mellitus characterized by higher blood glucose levels in the affected person.
Hyposecretion of glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoid from adrenal cortex causes Addison's disease characterized by rapid weight loss, lower levels of glucose and sodium in plasma while a rise in potassium levels.
Grave's disease is an autoimmune disease wherein the thyroid gland is stimulated for increased secretion of thyroxine resulting in protruded eyeballs.
Answer:
E. Interleukin-1
Explanation:
Interleukin-1 is produced by macrophages and is involved in promoting the proliferation of helper T cells. Interleukin-1 also acts on the hypothalamus to cause fever. Fever refers to abnormally high body temperature. During infection and inflammation, the hypothalamic thermostat is reset in response to interleukin-1 resulting in fever. The presence of certain bacterial toxins in the body triggers the release of interleukin-1 from macrophages and the body temperature is elevated. Fever inhibits the growth of some microbes, intensifies the effects of interferons, and stimulates the body's immune reactions.
True. If we all work together to conserve our resources, then the earth will be able to sustain its human population. In this century, many people don't really care about conserving resources because they are too careless to think about how much resources we are wasting on a daily basis. If everyone realizes how much resources we are wasting and helps to conserve them, than earth will have sufficient resources to sustain its human population.
hope this helps:)

A dominant trait can be shown both when an organism is homozygous dominant AND heterozygous. Two different genotypes give the same visible result so a testcross is needed to be able to accurately say if the organism is homozygous dominant or heterozygous
