Independent assortment occurs spontaneously when alleles of at least two genes are assorted independently into gametes.
Answer:
The predicted genotype of the offspring is GgRr.
Explanation:
The gray body is dominant over black body. The genotype of gray body is GG and the genotype of black body is gg. Red eyes are dominant over orange eyes. The genotype for red eye is RR whereas the genotype of orange eye is rr.
GGRR is crossed with ggrr, the offspring produced by this cross is GgRr with gray body and red eyes.
GGRR × ggrr
GgRr.
Answer:
The correct answer is: (B) erythropoietin (EPO) – increases white blood cell production.
Explanation:
Erythropoietin is a hormone secreted by the kidney when dealing to cellular hypoxia (low oxygen content on body tissues) to stimulate red blood cell production. This is because red blood cells are the ones that transport oxygen to every tissue in the body.
