Elena L [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is c. production of white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets.

Explanation:

Hematopoiesis is the formation of all types of blood cellular components and components of plasma like white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets by hematopoietic system which involves the bone marrow, liver, and spleen.

First, the hemopoietic stem cell divides into common myeloid progenitor and common lymphoid progenitor. From myeloid progenitor RBC, platelets, basophils, eosinophils, neutrophils, and macrophages are formed.

Common lymphoid progenitor gives rise to T- lymphocytes, B- lymphocytes, and natural killer cells. Therefore the correct answer is c. production of white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets.

A gene that affects hair length in dogs has two alleles. The allele for short hair (L) is dominant
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A. Only recessive alleles are inherited from homozygous parents.

B. Dominant alleles grow weaker as they are passed from parents to offspring.

C. Only the parent with a dominant allele can pass that allele to offspring in sexual reproduction.

D. A heterozygous parent has an equal chance of passing either the dominant allele or the recessive allele to offspring.

The answer is D

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for hair length in dogs. The allele for short hair (S) is dominant over the allele for long hair (s). This means that allele 'S' will always mask the phenotypic expression of allele 's' in a heterozygous state.

According to the question, two heterozygous dogs (Ss) were crossed to produce 6 shortt-haired offsprings and 2 long-haired offsprings. An heterozygous organism is that which contains two different alleles for a particular gene i.e. a combination of dominant and recessive alleles.

Based on this, during meiosis or gamete formation, an heterozygous dog (Ss) will produce gametes with the short hair allele (S) and long hair allele (s) in equal proportion i.e. 50-50. When the two gametes containing the recessive alleles (s) produced by each heterozygous parent fuses, an offspring with a recessive phenotype (long hair, ss) is produced.

Hence, a long-hair

phenotype can appear in the offspring of two short-haired dogs because a heterozygous parent has equal chance of passing either the dominant or recessive allele to the offspring.
