Why is milk produced only after delivery, not before?

#Biochemistry
  1. Levels of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone are too low during pregnancy to support milk production
  2. High levels of progesterone and estrogen during pregnancy suppress milk production
  3. The alveolar cells of the breast do not reach maturity until after delivery
  4. High levels of oxytocin are required for milk production to begin, and oxytocin is not secreted until the baby stimulates the nipple

      Assertion (A): Standard Gel Electrophoresis is rarely used for the separation of simple lipids.

        Reason (R): Lipids are biomolecules that are primarily hydrophobic and lack the net charge required for migration in an aqueous electric field.

        Consider the following statements regarding the Adaptation phase of chemotaxis:

        Statement I: Adaptation allows bacteria to reset their sensitivity to attractant concentrations, enabling them to detect changes over a wide range.

        Statement II: The protein CheB acts as a methylesterase that removes methyl groups from the MCP receptors, while CheR acts as a methyltransferase.
