Answer:

The condition is known as Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)

Explanation:

Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a pathological condition caused by Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) where urine flows back from the bladder into one or both ureters, and sometimes back into the kidneys. The condition is commonly seen in young children under 2 years of age, and infants.

Most children with primary VUR were born with an abnormal ureter, which is mainly seen as a defective valve between the kidneys and the ureters that does not close well, hence resulting in refluxes. Secondary VUR develops due to some pathological conditions affecting the urinary tract, like blockage of the urethra, causing reflux of urine. Defective bladder nerves can also lead to VUR.

sergejj [24]

Answer:

The reason for the offspring to present these genotypes is that during the formation of the gametes, the alleles separate and are inherited independently, therefore they can generate several different phenotypic combinations.

Explanation:

In order for an offspring to present very different phenotypes, as shown in the question above, it is necessary that the two red griffins with blue eyes that were crossed are heterozygous. Thus it will be possible for the offspring to present a wide variety of phenotype, according to Mendel's second law.

Mendel's second law is called the Law of segregation. This law explains that the alleles (which determine the characteristics of individuals) are separated in the formation of gametes and inherited by the offspring of a cross independently, and can generate different combinations of phenotypes, when the parents of a cross are heterozygous.
