If someone had an inadequate intake of sodium over several days, it would be most difficult for the body to maintain homeostasis.

<h3>Why is sodium important for homeostasis? </h3>

Most of the sodium in our body is present in the extracellular fluid (ECF). The concentration of sodium in the body is measured relative to the amount of water in the body.

Maintaining proper sodium concentration is therefore essential for maintaining water balance in the body. It also helps in the proper functioning of neurons by assisting in the conduction of impulses.

Sodium concentration is also important for muscle contraction. Proper sodium concentration maintains osmolality of the extracellular fluid which maintains the volume of blood and plasma in the body.

Therefore, an inadequate intake of sodium, over several days will affect the homeostasis of the body.

How do new alleles occur?
shtirl [24]
How are new alleles created? Occasionally, DNA mutations occur in germ cells – cells destined to become eggs or sperm. In this case, the DNA mutation is copied into every new cell of the growing embryo following fertilisation. ... If the mutation affects a gene, it will result in a new version of that gene – a new allele.

Answer:

Yes a false positive result will be read

Explanation:

Instructions on most pregnancy tests will tell you to read the results in a certain amount of time, usually from a couple of minutes. So you may take a pregnancy test and read it within the above time period as negative.

If you happen to keep the test around to look at later, you may notice that after that allotted time, the test now appears to have a positive result. This is called an evaporation line. It is not indicative of a positive pregnancy test.

What is Evaporation Lines?

Evaporation lines happen when the urine that was on the test area starts to dry out and evaporate. The chemical composition of that particular urine sample has now changed since that urine sample evaporated, sometimes causing the test to show a positive line
