zheka24 [161]

Answer:

The tall parent was heterozygous

Explanation:

If tall height is dominant to short height the only genotype possible for short height is hh, while there are two possible genotypes for tall height, Hh and HH. When HH is crossed with hh all the offspring are Hh, but if Hh is crossed with hh, a quarter of the offspring is HH, a quarter is hh and half is Hh. If the tall pea plants were HH there would only be tall offspring, but because there are some short offspring we know that the tall pea plants must have a genotype of Hh.

What do the testes and ovaries produce to develop male and female characteristics?
il63 [147K]

Answer:

Testes and ovaries produce  two types of hormones:

androgens (male sex hormones)

estrogens (female full hormones)

In each type of gland, both types of hormones are secreted only in different amounts: the ovaries secrete more estrogen than the androgen hormones, and the sperm inversely.

Explanation:

In testicular tissue, Leydig cells produce androgen hormones: androsterone and testosterone. The ovaries produce a group of estrogen hormones and progesterone. These hormones exert their effect at puberty when the glands are activated. At puberty, the pituitary gonadostimulins activate the sex glands, whose activity leads to the development of secondary sex characteristics (the appearance of first menstruation in girls, beards and mustaches in boys, etc.).
