Answer:

Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disorder in which a person's blood do not clots and he can bleed to death even after minor injuries because blood will keep running due to a small cut.

It is a recessive trait which means that even if one normal gene is present along with Hemophiliac gene, the person will not have the disease and he will be the carrier.

Question: What will be their children’s possible phenotypes?

If a woman who is a carrier for hemophilia marries a hemophiliac man, their genotypes can be denotes as :

Here H, indicate normal gene and small h indicate defected (hemophilia) gene.

Parents: XHXh X XhY

Offspring: XHXh : XHY: XhXh: XhY

Phenotype of offspring:

XHXh: The child will be daughter and normal (25 % chances)

XHY: The child will be son and normal (25 % chances)

XhXh: The child will be girl and Hemophiliac (25 % chances)

XhY: The child will be son and Hemophiliac (25 % chances)

Hope it helps!

Hormones released by the _______ system regulate the amount of urine produced by the ___________ system

Furkat [3]

endocrine and excretory

Different glands in the endocrine system (ex: the adrenal gland) produce hormones (ex: epinephrine/adrenaline) that circulate throughout the blood to regulate various cellular processes in various areas of the body.

The excretory system is responsible for the excretion of wastes from the body. This body system includes several organs from other body systems. For instance, the lungs are technically a part of this organ system (along with the respiratory system) because the lungs remove CO2 (a metabolic waste product from cellular respiration) from the blood and out of the body when you breathe out. Another, probably even more obvious example, of organs involved in the excretory system are the kidneys, bladder...etc (i.e. urinary system).
