Answer and Explanation:
<u>Cross:</u> aa Bb dd Ee x AA bb Dd Ee
We can calculate the probability of getting heterozygous individuals in the progeny by using the <u>product rule</u>. Assuming that these four genes <u>assort independently</u> (<em>events that occur independently from each other</em>), we can infer that the F1 will have the next genotypic proportions for each gene:
1) aa x AA
F1) 4/4=1 Aa
2) Bb x bb
F1) ½ bb
½ Bb
3) dd x Dd
F1) ½ dd
½ Dd
4) Ee x Ee
F1) ¼ EE
2/4 = ½ Ee
¼ ee
So, to know what the probability is that the F1 of being heterozygous for all loci, we must multiply the respective individual probabilities of getting a heterozygous genotype, like this:
1 Aa x ½ Bb x ½ Dd x ½ Ee = 1/8 AaBbDdEe
Lthough much of the explanation for why certain substances mix and form
solutions and why others do not is beyond the scope of this class, we
can get a glimpse at why solutions form by taking a look at the
process by which ethanol, C2H5OH, dissolves in
water. Ethanol is actually miscible in water, which means that the two
liquids can be mixed in any proportion without any limit to their
solubility. Much of what we now know about the tendency of particles
to become more dispersed can be used to understand this kind of change
as well.
Picture a layer of ethanol being carefully added to the top of some water (Figure below).
Because the particles of a liquid are moving constantly, some of the
ethanol particles at the boundary between the two liquids will
immediately move into the water, and some of the water molecules will
move into the ethanol. In this process, water-water and
ethanol-ethanol attractions are broken and ethanol-water attractions
are formed. Because both the ethanol and the water are molecular
substances with O−H bonds, the attractions broken between water
molecules and the attractions broken between ethanol molecules are
hydrogen bonds. The attractions that form between the ethanol and
water molecules are also hydrogen bonds (Figure below). There you go
The correct answer is C. Because spermatozoa and developing cells produce surface antigens that are recognized as foreign by the immune system.
This is important because the organism will react defensively towards the foreign bodies and fight them instead of accept them, so this will make a big problem in the process of fertilization.
Answer:
The <u>pituitary</u> gland controls water balance, growth and blood pressure.
Explanation:
The pituitary gland is also called hypophysis, and is a small gland located in the skull that is responsible for secreting hormones and coordinating the activity of other glands.
Hypophysis is usually divided into two portions, adenohypophysis or anterior lobe and neurohypophysis in posterior lobe. Among other functions, the pituitary gland is in charge of
- Water balance and blood pressure, through the antidiuretic hormone or ADH secreted by the neuro-pituitary.
- Growth, through the secretion of growth hormone or GH, secreted by the somatotropic cells of the adenohypophysis.
This gland is also responsible for the secretion of oxytocin and other hormones in charge of regulating endocrine glandular activity.
Regarding the other options:
- <u><em>Thymus</em></u><em> is a gland present in children and related to immune function.
</em>
- <u><em>Thyroid</em></u><em> is responsible for secreting hormones that control basal metabolism.
</em>
- <u><em>Pancreas</em></u><em> has exocrine and endocrine function, producing digestive enzymes and insulin and glucagon, respectively.
