What Mendel did according to the illustration would be called test-crossing.
<h3>Test-crossing</h3>
In genetics, test crossing is a procedure through which the zygosity of an individual can be determined - whether it is homzygous or heterozygous.
Test crossing requires that an organism who displays a dominant trait but whose zygosity is unknown is crossed with another organism of the same species but who displays the recessive version of the same trait.
By so doing and using the knowledge of probability, the resulting offspring from the cross will be used to determine the zygosity level of the parent.

Secretion helps in moistening the food, making it easier to swallow and preventing oral infections.
Because it uncovers a truth many don’t see in science theory’s and thing that people might not have know giving them the curiosity to try something new and learn something new.
Answer:
A: Oxygen levels are low and, therefore, more red blood cells are produced, giving the athletes an advantage when competing at lower altitudes.
Explanation:
<em>At high altitudes, the partial pressure of oxygen is lower compared to lower altitudes</em>. The body system try to adjust to lower oxygen level by undergoing several physiological changes. Depending on the duration spent in high altitude, the body can either try to adjust in the short term or acclimatize for a longer term.
One of the processes the body undergoes during acclimatization is an increase in red blood cell production. The kidney secretes erythropotein in response to inadequate oxygen in body tissues, and this makes the liver to increase erythrocyte production.
The increase in red blood cell production correspondingly increases the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood as a result of increased hemoglobin. This condition persists for a few weeks even after the body returns to lower altitude where oxygen is adequate. Increased oxygen capacity means the rate of energy production (through respiration) within the body will also increase
<em>Hence, those who acclimatize to high altitude usually experience increased capillary density, tissue perfusion and improved athletic performance at lower altitudes. </em>
The correct option is A.
