Answer: The correct answer is-

a-25%

ABO blood group shows multiple allelism that is has more than two alleles. AB alleles show co-dominance and O allele is recessive allele.

As per the information in the question, Mrs. Smith has blood type A, her father has blood type A ( genotype could be AA/AO), and her mother has blood type B ( genotype would be BO only). This means that she has inherited A allele from her father and O allele from her mother to make the blood type A. Thus, genotype of Mrs. Smith would be AO.

Mr. Smith has blood type AB ( that is genotype would be AB).

So, the genotypes of these parents would be-

Mrs. Smith- AO

Mr. Smith- AB

When these parents are crossed, they will have 25% probability of having child with blood type AB.

The correct answer is "a steroid hormone that reduces the amount of fluid excreted in the urine".
Aldosterone is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal gland, whose main function is the homeostatic regulation of the blood pressure, plasma sodium, and plasma potassium levels.
Aldosterone's main mechanism of action is to regulate the reabsorption of sodium and excretion of potassium in the kidney, which in turn influences the retention of water and the volume and pressure of the blood. Based on all this, aldosterone reduces the amount of fluid excreted in the urine.
