If a cross is made between two parental homozygous allele female Red phenotype  (RR) cross with male white phenotype (rr)  resulting F1 progeny  is all red phenotype (Rr), if reciprocate this cross the resulting progeny will be change.

a) Gene expression will be the parental origin dependent

b) uniparental gene contribution and also the expression of the gene is uniparental

c) Gene expression independent over parental origin

d) Gene contribution is biparental but the expression of the gene is uniparental

The following statements regarding to the pancreas and its function.
a. The pancreas is composed of two major types of tissues, (1) the acini, which secrete digestive juices into the duodenum, and (2) the islets of Langerhans, which secrete insulin and glucagon directly into the blood.
b. The islets contain three major types of cells, alpha, beta, and delta cells
c. The beta cells, constituting about 25 percent of all the cells of the islets, lie mainly in the middle of each islet and secrete insulin and amylin.
d. The alpha cells, about 60 percent of the total, secrete glucagon and the delta cells, about 10 percent of the total, secrete somatostatin.

In humans, albinism (unpigmented skin, hair, and eyes) is due to an enzymatic deficiency, and it is an autosomal recessive trait. Suppose that in a small country of one million people (“Generation 1”), there are 500 aa albinos and 9000 Aa heterozygous carriers. Estimate q, the frequency of allele a, in Generation 1.
