Answer:

Explanation:

The endocrine system is a complex of glands that secrete <u>hormones</u> as a chemical messenger. These hormones carry information and instructions throughout the bloodstream from one part of the body to another. These hormones control many body functions such as respiration, sensory perception, metabolisms, growth, reproduction, the mood among others.

On the other hand, the nervous system is made up of neurons that communicate with each other to extend a message (from our own body or the outside) to the brain, for analysis and further decision of what to do with that information. A group of neurons, sensory neurons, respond to several stimuli such as touch, light, and sound to let the brain know about the surrounding environment. Another group of neurons, motor neurons, work inside the body and carry signals to active muscle or glands.

A husband and wife both have cleft chins, and when you look at their four children, three also have cleft chins; however, one do

Reptile [31]

Answer:

B- A cleft chin is due to a dominant allele

Explanation:

A husband and wife both having the phenotype for cleft chin and producing an offspring without a cleft chin, indicates heterozygousity in their genotype.

With the heterozygous genotype however, they both expressed the phenotype for cleft chin, indicating that the allele for cleft chin is dominant over the allele coding for normal chin.

Since both parents are heterozygous for cleft lip, the sequence of genotype in their offspring will be:

25% chance of having homozygous cleft chin
50% chance of having heterozygous cleft chin
25% chance of having homozygous normal chin

Because of the dominance of the cleft chin allele, both homozygous and heterozygous forms of the cleft chin allele, will be expressed in the offspring and only the offspring homozygous for normal chin will not express this allele.
