Following statements are regarding to the regulation of body temperature.

A. The temperature-regulating center is located in the anterior hypothalamus. This center receives information about environmental temperature from thermoreceptors in the skin and about core temperature from thermoreceptors in the anterior hypothalamus itself.

B. The temperature-regulating center is located in the posterior hypothalamus. This center receives information about environmental temperature from thermoreceptors in the posterior hypothalamus itself and about core temperature from thermoreceptors in the skin.

C. If core temperature is below the set-point temperature, then heat-generating and heat-retaining mechanisms are activated.

D. If core temperature is above the set-point temperature, then heat-dissipating mechanisms are activated.

E. If core temperature is below the set-point temperature, then heat-dissipating mechanisms are activated.

F. If core temperature is above the set-point temperature, then heat-generating and heat-retaining mechanisms are activated.

The following is a hypothetical pathway responsible for the coat color in Labrador retrievers, The pathway is controlled by two independently assorting genes ‘B’ and ‘E’ encoding enzymes as shown below. Mutant alleles ‘b’ and ‘e’ code for non- functional proteins.

A locus determines the type of pigment produced in the squash, with yellow (Y_) dominant over green (yy). This locus is expressed only in ww plants, which lack the dominant inhibitory allele W. We can assign the genotype ww Y_ to plants that produce yellow squash and the genotype ww yy to plants that produce green squash. The genotypes and their associated phenotypes are:

What will be the correct prediction about these pathway?

The interaction of two loci that determine fruit color in summer squash, which is commonly found in one of three colors: yellow, white, or green. When a homozygous plant that produces white squash is crossed with a homozygous plant that produces green squash and the F1 plants are crossed with each other, the following results are obtained:

 12/16 plants with white squash

 3 /16 plants with yellow squash

 1 /16 plants with green squash

 This is the case of___
