Summary Introduction

To determine:

The major endocrine organs in the human body and the organs that have another primary function and contain endocrine cells.

Introduction:

The endocrine system is involved in the secretion of hormones in blood and their transportation to their respective organs or tissues. It correlates to other body cells through the production of hormones. Endocrine glands are made up of epithelial tissues which cause the release and production of hormones. An endocrine organ is an organ that releases and produces hormones.

Alleles at the P locus control seed color. Plants which are pp have white seeds, white flowers and no pigment in vegetative parts. Plants which are P_ have black seeds, purple flowers and may have varying degrees of pigment on stems and leaves. Seed color can be assessed, visually, based on if the seed is white or not white A gene for mold resistance has been reported and we want to determine its inheritance and whether it is linked to P. For the purposes of this exercise, we will assume that resistance is controlled by a single locus M, and M_ plants are resistant and mm plants are susceptible.  Resistance can be measured, under greenhouse conditions, 2 weeks after planting, by injecting each seedling with a spore suspension. After two weeks, the seedlings can be rated as resistant or susceptible, based on whether or not tissue is actively sporulating. For this exercise we will use seed and data from the F10 generation of a recombinant inbred population produced using single seed…
