The answer is <span>yellow and dominant.

We have two alleles, one dominant and one recessive: Y and y. Usually, a capital letter is used for dominant alleles, so Y is a dominant allele and y is a recessive allele. There are three combinations of those alleles, and thus, three genotypes: YY, Yy, yy.
We know that </span><span>Yy is for yellow seeds. An individual with Yy is heterozygote. Heterozygotes have one dominant and one recessive allele, but the dominant masks the recessive allele, so expressed trait is dominant. Since yellow seed is the result of heterozygous Yy, yellow seed is the dominant trait.
Therefore, Y means yellow and dominant.</span>

These phylum species can survive in both terrestrial and marine habitats. Some characteristics of phylum Arthropoda are given below:

1) They have Chitinous exoskeleton which is hardened.

2) Their digestive tract is present at opposite ends of the body and complete with the mouth and anus.

Choose the correct order of steps for the synthesis of Vitamin D.

n200080 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-

1. UV light strikes the skin and converts a steroid molecule into an inactive form of vitamin D.

2. Inactive vitamin D is transported to the liver where it is modified.

3. Vitamin D is activated under the influence of PTH.

4. Inactive, chemically altered vitamin D is transported to the kidneys.

Explanation:

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble metabolite which helps maintain the health of the bone by maintaining the calcium homeostasis.

The vitamin D is synthesized mainly in the liver and kidney from the biologically inactive precursor of vitamin D called ergocalciferol and Cholecalciferol.

The inactive vitamin is synthesized in the skin when the skin is exposed to UV rays. The UV rays convert the 7-dehydrocholesterol, a steroid molecule to Vitamin D3, This inactive vitamin is then transported to the liver where it is converted to 25-hydroxyvitamin D.

This vitamin D form is further metabolized in the kidney controlled and regulated by the Parathyroid glands.
