Answer:

The correct answer is hypophysis or pituitary.

Explanation:

The pituitary gland is at the size and shape of a pea and is also known as the master gland because it controls and stimulates the regulation of other endocrine glands. The pituitary gland is itself an endocrine gland which secretes its hormone directly in the blood.

Some hormones released by pituitary that stimulate other endocrine gland are adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) which stimulate the adrenal gland to release cortisol. FSH and LH hormone that stimulate testes and ovary in male and female, Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) which stimulate thyroid gland, etc. Therefore the right answer is pituitary.

What did Mendel's cross pollination of pea plants prove
pashok25 [27]

Answer: The correct answer is- D certain factors are dominant and other factors are recessive.

Mendel was interested in knowing the offspring that is produced from the cross pollination (that is from two different plants) as he wanted to study different traits of pea plant.

For doing so, he first removed the anthers of one plant (to prevent self pollination) and then transferred the pollens of one plant into the stigma of another plant.

When he allowed the cross pollination of purebred pea plant with other plant, he observed that some factors are dominant (such as tall height of pea plant, which masks the expression of recessive factors) and other are recessive (such as dwarf height of pea plant).

Thus, option D) is the right answer.
