What hormone is produced by beta cells of the pancreas? T3 glucagon insulin T4

Biology

Artyom0805 [142]3 years ago
5 0

The correct answer is C. Insulin

Explanation:

The pancreas is a gland and organ located in the abdomen, this gland regulates sugar levels in the blood and secretes different hormones that include the glucagon, the insulin, and the somatostatin. In the case of the glucagon, this is secreted by the alpha cells while the insulin is secreted by the beta cells and this hormone plays an important role in the metabolization of carbohydrates. On the other hand, the T3 or triiodothyronine and the T4 or thyroxine are both hormones secreted by the thyroid gland. Therefore, the hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreas is insulin.

In pea plants, purple flowers are dominant to white flowers, and the purple and white alleles are represented with P and p, resp
amm1812

Answer: 75% of the plants are purple and 25% are white. The phenotypic ratio can be expressed as 3:1.

Explanation:

Heterozygous means that its genotype has two distinct alleles, i.e. a dominant and a recessive one. So the genotype of the plants is Pp, and each plant has two alleles since<u> they are diploid organisms, which have two copies of each gene. </u>

<u>Each plant produces gametes, which are haploids cells. That is, they only have one copy of each gene (one allele)</u>. So, the gametes produced by Pp have a P or p genotype.  During fertilization, the maternal and paternal gamete are fused to form a diploid zygote where their genotype will have one allele from the father and one from the mother.

By making this monohybrid cross, we cross the gametes of each parent in the punnett square (see picture)

In the offspring, we see one PP genotype (homozygous dominant), two Pp genotypes (heterozygous) and one pp genotype (homozygous recessive). <u>Since we know the P allele is dominant and it codes for purple color, a genotype only needs one P allele to express that phenotype</u>. So Pp and PP organisms are purple, and only pp is white. That means 75% of the plants are purple and 25% are white. The phenotypic ratio can be expressed as 3:1.
