Answer:

A) Calcitonin injection

Explanation:

Parafollicular cells or C-cells of the thyroid gland produce a hormone which is involved in the regulation of calcium levels in the blood. This hormone is Calcitonin. It works in an antagonistic manner with the Parathyroid hormone (PTH). Calcitonin decreases the calcium level in the blood by increasing absorption of calcium ions in bones. In osteoporosis, when the patient is given the injection of hormone calcitonin, it produces and increase in bone mass because it negatively affects the rate of absorption of bone by the osteoclasts.

In beans the pod texture and growth form genes are located on different chromosomes. There are two varieties of beans in a farme
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

a. Genotype in F1 - TtBb

   Phenotype in F1 - tough pods, bush-type growth

b. Proportion of F2 that are heterozygous for bush-type growth form = 5/8

c. Proportion of the F2 with tender pods =  1/4

d. Proportion of F2 that are heterozygous for growth form and have tender     pods = 1/8

Explanation:

Since the two traits are located on different chromosomes, they will independently assort during gametes formation. T is dominant over t and B is dominant over b.

Two true-breeding varieties were crossed at the beginning of the program:

TTBB   x   ttbb

All F1 plants will have the genotype TtBb with tough pods and bush-type growth form.

Advancing the cross to F2:

TtBb   x   TtBb

Progeny

1 TTBB   -   tough pods, bush-type

2 TTBb     -  tough pods, bush-type

2 TtBB    -   tough pods, bush-type

4 TtBb     -   tough pods, bush-type

1 TTbb     -    tough pods, climbing-type

2 Ttbb     -    tough pods, climbing-type

1 ttBB       -    tender pods, bush-type

2 ttBb     -      tender pods, bush-type

1 ttbb      -      tender pods, climbing-type

<em>Proportion of F2 that are heterozygous for bush-type growth form = 10/16 = 5/8</em>

<em>Proportion of the F2 with tender pods = 4/16 = 1/4</em>

<em>Proportion of F2 that are heterozygous for growth form and have tender pods = 2/16 = 1/8</em>
