Pancreas;blood glucose level

Answer:

The correct answer would be Pancreas: blood glucose levels; adrenal: emergency response.

The pancreas is a gland located in the abdomen. It can act as exocrine as well as an endocrine gland. The alpha and beta cells of pancreatic islets release insulin and glucagon respectively. They both help in maintaining the blood glucose levels. Insulin helps in lowering the blood glucose level whereas the glucagon helps in increasing the blood glucose level.

Pair of the adrenal gland is located above kidneys. They release adrenaline, aldosterone, and cortisol. They prepare the body for fear, fight and flight conditions.

Different ratios occur in crosses with single gene pairs or two gene pairs. What types of ratios are likely to occur in crosses
likoan [24]

Answer:

Genotype ratio: 1, 1:1, 1:2:1

Phenotype ratio: 1, 3:1

Explanation:

Single gene pair cross is also known as monohybrid cross. This means that only one gene usually with two alleles is observed and it express one trait.

For example, if we name the gene for a certain trait with A, the possible genotypes are AA (dominant homozygous), aa (recessive homozygous) and Aa (heterozygous). Possible crosses are:

P: AA  x  AA

F1 : all of them are AA

The same is with aa x aa (all of the offspring are with aa genotype)

P: AA  x  Aa

F1: AA Aa AA Aa  (genotype ratio 1:1) (phenotype ratio 3:1)

The same genotype ratio is  in aa x Aa (offspring will have aa Aa aa Aa-(genotype ratio 1:1) (phenotype ratio 1:1)

P: Aa x Aa

F1: AA Aa Aa aa (genotype ratio 1:2:1) (phenotype ratio 3:1)

P: AA x aa

F1: Aa Aa Aa Aa (1)

Which best blocks X-ray particles and can therefore be observed more closely through the use of this technology?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer would be bones.

X-rays are high energy electromagnetic waves which have an ability to penetrate most of the biological tissues.

In the X-ray machine, a beam of high energy X-rays is passed through the filters and subject and then fall on the detector or photographic film to produce X-ray.

Dense tissues like bone, teeth, tumors et cetera blocks or stops most of the X-ray particles from reaching the detector or photographic film.

It forms glowing pictures on the X-ray film or photographic film.

The denser the material the brighter the image will be formed on the photographic film.

Blood type is a genetically determined trait. Two siblings donate blood and find out their blood types. The brother is Type A an
rjkz [21]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The brother has different alleles for the blood type gene than his sister does.  Blood type is inherited from parents like many other traits that can be displayed on a punnet square.  Depending on what the parents blood type alleles were, the brother and sister could have different blood types.  

A different number of chromosomes doesn't lead to different blood types, so D is wrong.  And A is incorrect because the number genes also does not affect blood type.  And I think the blood type genes are on the same chromosome, so B is wrong.  C is correct because blood type is inherited by alleles, and different alleles can cause different traits, such as blood types.
