Answer:

The correct answer is - 11.25

Explanation:

Given:

Average weight gain between weeks 2 and 4 = 10 grams

The narrow-sense heritability of the weight gain between 2 and 4 weeks

= 25%

Then

Average weight gain would be expected among the offspring of parents whose average gain was 15 grams-

by the formula:

Average weight gain between weeks + (h) (Average weight gain between weeks - parents average gain )

= 10 + 0.25 (15-10)

 = 10 + 0.25 (5)

= 10 + 1.25

  = 11.25

Thus, the correct answer is - 11.25

Answer:

Explanation:

Parietal cells are the epithelial cells of the stomach that have the function to secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) and intrinsic factor. Parietal cells contain canaliculi – secretory network for the secretion of HCl via active transport.

Parietal cells are regulated via several factors such as acetylcholine, gastrin and histamine. So, if histamine receptors are blocked via antacid drugs , the secretion of the acid will be reduced.
