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

Three species of lizard, labeled A, B, and C, are being studied using molecular analysis by two research colleagues in different
Andreyy89

Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be option B.

The flaw in their reasoning is that they compared different molecules in a different set of organisms.  

For example, they compared the DNA of lizard A and B whereas they compared the RNA of lizard B and C.

In addition, the mutation rates of different molecules (DNA and RNA) are different and thus, comparison of DNA in one set of organism and comparison of RNA in another set cannot be used as the basis for the conclusion.

What is the probability that the offspring will have purple flowers?; What is the phenotypic ratio for the purple flowers?; What
Luda [366]

The probability that the offspring will have purple flowers is 50% chance Let's go ahead and assume that:

The allele A corresponds to the color of flowers.

As a result, A would stand in for the alternate white hue and represent the dominating purple color.

According to the aforementioned hypotheses, a white flower would have the genotype aa while a heterozygous purple blossom would have the genotype Aa.

Now let's connect the two flowers:

Aa x aa

Aa Aa aa aa

The genotypes, phenotypes, and odds of the offspring would be as follows based on the cross's outcomes:

Purple color, Aa; 1/2

white flower color, aa, 1/2

In other words, there is a 50% chance that the cross will result in offspring with the flower colors purple (genotype, Aa) and white (genotype, aa).
