Answer:

D. Activated platelets release chemicals that activate more platelets.

Explanation:

When a stimulus or a change in some condition triggers a response that intensifies the changing condition, the mechanism is called a positive feedback mechanism.

Any damage to tissues makes the platelets to contact and stick to parts such as collagen fibers of the connective tissue present under the damaged endothelial cells. This process of platelet adhesion activates the platelets and brings about changes in them. The activated platelets grow many projections to contact and interact with one another. They also release ADP and thromboxane A2 which in turn activates the nearby platelets. The ADP makes other platelets in the area sticky. The stickiness of the newly recruited and activated platelets causes them to join the originally activated platelets. Eventually, the accumulation and attachment of large numbers of platelets form a platelet plug.

Here, release of chemicals from the activated platlets to activate more platlets represents the positive feedback mechanism.

The principal of Dominance states that
jeka94

Principle of Dominance was given by Sir Gregor Johann Mendel.

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

Principle of Dominance was given by Sir Gregor Johann Mendel as a conclusion of the monohybrid cross between the different characteristic pea plants. It says that in an organism which is heterozygous for a particular character, only the dominant trait is able to express as a phenotype, not the recessive one. In other words, the recessive allele is completely masked by the presence of the dominant allele. This leads to same phenotype of a homozygous dominant organism and a heterozygous organism.

To test the organism about its heterozygosity, the organism is led through a test cross where the organism is crossed with a recessive organism. If the F1 offsprings are all dominant, then the organism is homozygous dominant, and if the F1 offsprings are of half dominant and half recessive phenotype, then the organism is heterozygous.
