Answer: Thyroxine is the hormone and the thyroid gland produces it.
Explanation:
(Your question is incomplete, but probably the question was Iodine is needed for the synthesis of a hormone. Name the hormone and the gland that produces it)
Thyroxine or T4 is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland and released into the bloodstream. It is in the inactive form, that organs like the liver and kidneys convert it to the active form of triiodothyronine.
The thyroid gland's primary purpose is to create thyroid hormones that the body requires.
Iodine is used by the thyroid to create thyroid hormones. If you don't get enough iodine in your diet, your thyroid gland may not generate enough hormones.
