i think the answer is refracted but im not 100% sure :(
Answer:
12-day litter weight is a trait that has an important genetic influence and therefore also a high response to selection
Explanation:
Heritability is a statistical measure of how much of the variation in a given trait can be attributed to genetic differences and how much of trait variation is due to environmental factors. A heritability value close to 1 indicates that almost all of the variability is due to genetic factors, while being poorly influenced by environmental factors. In this case, 12-day litter weight is a trait that exhibits an important genetic component (i.e., a high heritability value), thereby the correlation between parent and offspring will be high and lines selected for this trait will show a high response to selection.
The correct answer is A, parathyroid gland.
The parathyroid hormone is secreted by the parathyroid gland which <span>inhibits osteoblasts, stimulates osteoclasts,</span> reduces the calcium output by the kidneys and promotes absorption of the calcium by the small intestines. Calcitonin, secreted by the thyroid gland, also works to a similar effect.
