Answer:

To maintain body homeostasis

Explanation:

The endocrine system consists of the endocrine glands that release hormones directly int the blood. Those hormones bind to their receptors on the target cells and thus regulate their function. The major glands are:

pineal gland-releases melatonin, controls sleep cycle

pituitary gland-control growth, blood pressure, thyroid glands and metabolism etc.

pancreas-secretes insulin and glucagon, control of blood sugar levels

ovaries, testes-reproductive role (release female and male hormones)

thyroid gland-controls metabolism and protein synthesis

parathyroid gland-controls Ca levels

hypothalamus-connects nervous and endocrine systems, controls other glands

adrenal glands-release adrenalin and steroid hormones.

No stripe on the head (H) is dominant, a black stripe on the head is recessive. If dad's genotype is Hh, what are the odds that
olga55 [171]

The chance of the offsprings with stripe on head is 50%.

Option A.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Here according to the figures, the male is the brown one which has no stripe on his head as mentioned, and the female is the pink one who has a stripe on her head. The gene for the head stripe is denoted by H.

So the genotype of the father which is given as Hh. He is heterozygous.

The genotype of the mother should be hh as she has stripe and she must be homozygous recessive to have it.

So the gametes from father is H and h. Whereas the gametes from mother is only h.

So the genotype of the offsprings are Hh and hh as 50% each.

So the probability of the offspring being striped head is 50%.
