In response to the ingestion of large amounts of water and the potential loss of sodium as the body attempts to maintain homeostasis, the adrenal gland secretes aldosterone which functions to conserve sodium.

Adrenal glands secrete hormones that help in maintaining homeostasis in the body. There are various kinds of corticosteroids that are released from the adrenal glands. One kind is called mineralocorticoids. Mineralocorticoids are essential hormones that regulate the process of maintaining water and electrolyte equilibrium in the body.

Mendel investigated stem length, or height, in pea plants. What if he had investigated human height instead? Why would his resul
Whitepunk [10]

The phenomena of polygenic inheritance would have become a grievous fault to his investigation, if he had investigated human height instead of stem length of pea plants.

Explanation:

The polygenic or polygenetic inheritance is the inheritance where the trait of a particular allele is passed on to the next generation with many genes involved in order to show the genotype and phenotype of the allele present on the same chromosome.

The stem length or plant height depends on the single factor of allelic gene inheritance and expression in phenotype, making it simpler to trace down the division of meiosis and control the experiment as needed. Considering human height for a chance, may lead to uncontrolled condition of having next generation study as well as the time required to be long. Other factor was that the height is dependent not only on the height gene expression but is controlled by nutrition and environmental factors too.

Is the frog completely adapted to life on land
barxatty [35]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

There are numerous different species of frogs around the world, coming in different sizes, colors, and behaviors. All frogs though are still amphibians, practically meaning that they are animals that live both in water and land, or rather they need both in order to survive. At first look, the frogs maybe seem as well completely adapted to terrestrial life, but that is not the case, as the frogs still need water in order to be able to survive because their skin is not made to function without water for prolonged periods of time, they still have a body and limbs that are made for swimming, and they need water for hatching their eggs, as well as for the development of newly hatched frogs, as they do not have any limbs when they are born and can only swim until they develop them.
