The mineral that calciltonin and parathyroid hormone regulate would be calcium. These two hormones work together to regulate and maintain the calcium ion level present in blood. Calcitonin is a hormone that is being produced by the C-cells which controls phosphate and calcium levels in the body by reducing the levels, counteracting the action of the parathyroid hormone which raises the level of the phosphate and the calcium ions in the blood. The parathyoroid hormone is produced in the parathyroid glands which functions in bone remodeling and controlling calcium levels. Together, they work together to maintain the levels of these ions in the blood which would be the safest level.

Which of the following is NOT part of genetic "linkage mapping"?
eimsori [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Linkage mapping is the mapping process in which the genes present on the chromosomes are mapped on the base of their linkage. The linkage mapping helps in calculating how frequent recombination occurs using testcross.

Linkage mapping does not utilize the information that is on DNA sequences, however, it helps in assuming the distance of two linked genes is proportional of the recombination frequency. By the recombination, frequency mutations can be found and study.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
