Answer:

Endocardium

Explanation:

The endocardium makes the innermost lining of the wall of the heart. It is present over the thin layer of connective tissue. The function of the endocardium is to provide a smooth lining for the chambers of the heart. The valves present in the heart also have endocardium. The dense connective tissue of the heart valves is covered by endocardium.

The presence of the smooth endocardium made up of endothelium reduces the surface friction as blood passes through the heart. The endocardium of heart chambers is continuous with the endothelial lining of the large blood vessels that are attached to the heart.

Explanation:

The genotypes and phenotypes would be : WW- Dominant white and ww- recessive color coat cat; their offspring would be 100% recessive white kittens

TT- dominant tabby and a recessive brown cat; their children would be 100%- dominant brown tabby

TT- dominant tabby and a recessive striped cat; children would be 100%- brown striped

Which two globin genes are most divergent from each other? what is the percent amino acid identity between them?
tiny-mole [99]

Globin 1 and globin 2 genes of insects are understood to have diverged approximately 170 million years ago, through duplication, from a common globin gene ancestor. The two genes that code for haemoglobin have conserved regions; oxygen-binding and heme- regions. Globin 2 gene has lost the intron region that is still present in the globin 1 gene. The percentage divergence is 7.2% with 20 varying nucleotides.
