Oxytocin is a hormone and a neurotransmitter that is involved in childbirth and breast-feeding. Additionally, the hormone also associated with trust, empathy, relationship building and sexual activity. Oxytocin is produced in the hypothalamus which is a part of the brain. ADH also called vasopresssin is a peptide hormone synthesized in the neurons in the hypothalamus and stored in the pituitary gland. It helps in regulation and balancing of water and osmotic pressure in the blood system in the kidney nephron. Therefore, the statement both oxytocin and ADH are produced in the posterior pituitary gland is false.

Effectus [21]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

When the crossing over results in both mutant alleles on one chromosome and the other chromosome will be mutation free.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

During the meiosis chromosomes are present in homologous form in a pair.

They exchange their genetic material with each other. This exchange is random and usually genetic material on the ends/telomere changes with the homologous chromosome.

In given condition the exchange is in such manner that the mutant allel of one chromosome shifts to other during crossing over. While other chromosome also contains its own mutant allele and does not exchange it during crossing over.

A farmer raises black and white chickens. To his surprise, when the first generation of eggs hatch all the chickens are black wi
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Let the allele for black color be "B"

and the allele for white color be "b"

Since after F1 generation all the offspring have black  body with white speckles throughout their feathers.

Thus the allele for black and white show co dominance.

Genotype of parent after F1 generation would be Bb for speckled chickens

Cross between two specked adults will produce -

Bb x Bb

BB, Bb, Bb, bb

Out of four offspring 1 is black (BB), 1 is white (bb) and two are speckled (Bb)

Thus 50% of the offspring will be speckled, 25% will be black, and 25% will be white.

Option C is correct
