Answer:

13-15 grams...

Explanation:

If only 50% of weight genes are transferred as seen in 0.5 probability then the ideal weight will be 14 grams (9 grams from first and 5 grams from the 2nd and so... ). But due to the genetic anomalies the range should be taken as 13-15 grams with a confidence interval of 95%...

What evidence must be considered when determining whether or not a trait is an adaptation? (Site 1)
Alexeev081 [22]
According to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, organisms that possess heritable traits that enable them to better adapt to their environment compared with other members of their species will be more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass more of their genes on to the next generation. The next generation will have the things they will need to survive and the longer the generation goes the more fetchers they will have.

The anterior pituitary receives hypothalamic input through the portal blood supply. what is the advantage of this type of anatom
kotegsom [21]

The advantage of this type of anatomical relationship is that this enables the pituitary to receive signals before sending hormones to the rest of the body through the blood.

The anterior pituitary, a significant component of the endocrine system, is the glandular anterior lobe that, along with the posterior lobe (also known as the posterior pituitary or neurohypophysis), constitutes the pituitary gland (hypophysis).

Stress, growth, reproduction, and lactation are just a few of the physiological activities that the anterior pituitary controls.

Blood tests that assess hormone levels are frequently used to determine if the anterior pituitary and the organs it controls are functioning properly.

The hypothalamus-hypophyseal portal veins deliver hypothalamic releasing and inhibitory hormones directly to the anterior pituitary gland.

Certain hormones from the hypothalamus bind to receptors on particular anterior pituitary cells, controlling how much of the hormone they generate is released.
