Spleen

The spleen is located under the diaphragm and behind the stomach. It can get enlarged during an infection.

Explanation:

The spleen is a large lymph organ. It is highly vascularized and contains a meshwork that sieves out old and misshaped erythrocytes.  It acts as a quality control measure for red blood cells.  The organs has macrophages that engulf and digest the red blood cells that fail quality control and foreign matter. The spleen stores the iron the cell as bilirubin and is recycled yo make new blood cells in the red bone marrow.

The spleen also stores red blood cells hence your spleen helps you recover blood cells (and maintain the right blood pressure) when you lose a considerable amount of blood from a deep cut.

According to Mendel’s law of dominance, we would expect _________ percent of the offspring to have white flowers.
Marysya12 [62]

Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is A) Zero.

According to Mendel's law of dominance, in a cross between parents that are true breeding for a contrasting trait (like plant with pure purple and white flowers), only one form is expressed in the next generation and that form is called dominant trait.

As per the Mendelian inheritance, purple flower color is dominant over white flower color. When parents that are pure breeding for purple and white flower ( PP and pp) are crossed, they will produce all purple flowers ( Pp) in the first generation as purple is dominant trait.

Thus, percent of offsprings with white flowers is zero.
