Answer:

Brown fur, long tail (1)

Brown fur, short tail (1)

White fur, long tail (1)

White fur, short tail (1)

Explanation:

This is a cross involving two genes, one coding for fur colour and the other for tail length in mice. B and b are alleles for brown and white fur respectively while T and t are alleles for long and short tails respectively. According to the first cross in the question where a brown short-tailed mice (BBtt) was crossed with a white long-tailed mouse (bbTT) to produce a brown long offspring (BbTt), it shows that the brown fur allele (B) and Long tail allele are dominant over the white fur allele and short tail allele respectively. Since, their expression is masked.

Hence the F1 offsprings genotype is BbTt. When BbTt are crossed with a white fur and short-tailed mouse (bbtt), each parent produces the following gamete:

BbTt: BT, Bt, bT and bt

bbtt: bt, bt, bt, bt

Combining these gametes in a punnet square will produce 16 possible offsprings with only four different genotypes in the ratio 1:1:1:1.

The four genotypes with their Phenotypes are:

BbTt: brown fur, long tail (4)

Bbtt: brown fur, short tail (4)

bbTt: white fur, long tail (4)

bbtt: white fur, short tail (4)

Lh is released by the anterior pituitary gland to stimulate sertoli cells to produce sperm. (lo 13.2) true or false
harina [27]
This is false for a number of reasons. While LH (which stands for Leutinizing Hormone) is released by the anterior pituitary gland and can be present in both females and males, it play a more predominant role in females. Working closely with FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) a surge in LH begins the process of ovulation and the development of the Corpeus Leuteum.

In Males it is used both for the production of sperm but to stimulate the production of testosterone.
