Insulin is produced by beta cells of the pancreas for storing and disposing of the glucose in various parts of the body like liver. This activity is a differentiated function of the beta cells of pancreas only. Although gene for insulin production is present in all cells, it is expressed only in the beta cells. Hence, it is a differentiated function.

A dihybrid cross is performed between plants that differ in two Mendelian traits: Stem length (T or t) and flower coloration (R
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

A. 3/16

Explanation:

The four possible outcomes for Stem length are:

Tt, tT, TT and tt.

The dominant trait (tall stems) will manifest itself in 3 out of 4 outcomes, so its ratio is 3/4.

The four possible outcomes for flower coloration are:

Rr, rR, RR and rr.

The non-dominant trait (white flowers) will manifest itself in 1 out of 4 outcomes, so its ratio is 1/4.

Multiplying both ratios gives us the ratio of offspring that have tall stems and white flowers:

\frac{3}{4}*\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{16}

Therefore, the answer is A. 3/16
