List the organs of the urinary system and locate them in the view.
1 answer:
The organs of the urinary system include the kidneys, renal pelvis, ureters, bladder and urethra.
The function of the urinary system is to filter blood and thus produce urine as a waste by-product. The body absorbs nutrients from food and converts them into energy. After the body has gained the required food nutrients, certain waste by-products remain in the bowel as well as in the blood.
The urinary system assists the body in eliminating liquid waste called urea with the help of kidneys, and also maintains fluid balance i.e. water and mineral (like sodium, potassium) balance.
Urea is transported to the kidneys via the bloodstream. It is finally removed together with water and certain other wastes in the form of urine.

Answer:
The parent's genotypes are:
Ddpp - tall, white parent
ddPp - dwarf, purple parent.
Explanation:
This question involves two different genes coding for height and flower color in pea plants. The alleles for tallness (D) and purple color (P) are dominant over the alleles for dwarfness (d) and white color (p) respectively.
According to this question, a tall plant with white flowers is crossed with a dwarf plant with purple flowers to produce the following proportion of offsprings: 1/4 tall purple, 1/4 tall white, 1/4 dwarf purple, and 1/4 dwarf white.
Since some of the offsprings contain recessive alleles for both or either genes, the dominant traits of the parent is controlled by an heterozygous genotype. This means that the tall plant with white flowers has a genotype: Ddpp while the dwarf plant with purple flowers has the genotype: ddPp. In a cross between Ddpp × ddPp, 1/4 of each combination of alleles is produced in the offsprings (see punnet square in the attachment).
