Answer 2

Deficiency of Thyroxine causes Goiter

Explanation:

Thyroid secretes a hormone called Thyroxine. Thyroid hormone synthesis requires the uptake of iodide by active transport, thyroglobulin biosynthesis, oxidation, and binding of iodide to thyroglobulin, and within the matrix of this protein, oxidative coupling of two iodotyrosines into iodothyronines. Without sufficient iodine, thyroxine secretion will be affected. Deficiency of iodine, causes your thyroid glands to swell leading to a condition called Goiter.
