<span>Pepsin is secreted in an inactive state, Pepsinogen, this is so that it doesn’t begin destroying the gastric gland(autodigestion). When it reaches the lumen it is activated by the hydrochloric acid. Cells in the wall secrete a mucus, which prevents it from eating away at the wall.</span>

White matter, on the other hand, is mostly the axons of neurons. The pale fatty insulator of axons, myelin, is mainly responsible for their whitish appearance on gross examination.

At a hypothetical locus, a man’s genotype is Aa. What proportion of his gametes would be expectedto receive the A allele?a.1/3b.
nydimaria [60]

Answer: The correct answer is 1/2

Explanation:

Based on Mendel's 2nd law - the law of independent assortment of genes - each character behaves as a separate unit and is INHERITED independently of any other character.

So, Aa will separate in two alleles "A" and "a". And by the law, each will be received by the gametes in equal rate of 50:50 i.e 1/2.

So for"A" allele, it is 1/2
