Food being digested in the stomach is in a highly acidic environment. When the food is released from the stomach into the small intestine, why is the environment no longer acidic?

#Unit 7. System Physiology – Animal
  1. Secretin increases the flow of bicarbonate ions from the pancreas into the small intestine to neutralize the stomach acid.
  2. Trypsinogen is activated, thus neutralizing the stomach acid.
  3. Bile salts from the gallbladder neutralize the stomach acid.
  4. When pepsinogen activates pepsin, one result is the neutralization of stomach acid in the stomach.

The recessive mutant allele that causes cystic fibrosis is much more frequent in Caucasians population than in other world populations. Some scientists believe heterozygotes must have had a survival advantage during plagues such as cholera that occasionally swept through this population. What concept does this illustrate?

Genes that control coat color in mammals represent some of the best early examples of genes with multiple alleles exhibiting different phenotypes. A classic example is the C gene in hamsters. Three of the known alleles of this gene are C, ck and ca. Each supplies a different amount of black pigment to the coat hair. The phenotypes of three different homozygous strains are as follows.
Based on the concepts of dominance, determine whether ck and ca were dominant or recessive alleles by crossing the true-breeding sepia hamsters to true-breeding black hamsters. From the resulting F1 progeny phenotype, what would be the ratio of F2 phenotype
