Answer:

Option C, It regulates calcium in the blood

Explanation:

Thyroid releases hormone known as calcitonin which is responsible for regulating calcium through involvement in calcium metabolism. The parafollicular cells (also known as C- cells) of the thyroid gland produces calcitonin hormone which regulate the level of both calcium and phosphate with in the blood.

Calcitonin increase the level of calcium in blood by opposing the effect of parathyroid hormone (PTH)

Hence, option C is the correct answer

Start with the P generation with the following genotypes (AA x aa). Based on classical Mendelian inheritance, how will a cross b

V125BC [204]

Answer: The correct answer is C) Although the F1 generation will all show the dominant trait, the offspring will all be heterozygous and increase chances of future variation.

According to Mendelian inheritance, true breeding parents ( which are homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive) for dominant and recessive allele will always result into offsprings with heterozygous dominant genotype.

As per the question, genotype of P ( parental ) generation is AA and aa. When they are crossed together, they result into Aa offsprings, which all exhibit dominant character/ phenotype. These offsprings will increase the chances of future variation.
