(4). Animals with this condition have an increased risk of skin cancer (5) / mental illness (6). The
genetic disease albinism (7) / phenylketonuria (8) is caused by a defect in the enzyme
phenylalanine hydroxylase, which leads to the accumulation of tyrosine (9) / phenylalanine

After food enters the stomach, gastrin triggers the release of __________ and secretion of
__________. correct answers gastric juices; pepsinogen
