When blood volume increases to the point that cardiac cells are stretched, the heart releases what natriuretic hormone?

1 answer:

4 0

The answer to this question would be: Brain Natriuretic Peptide(BNP) and or Atrial Natriuretic Peptide(ANP)

Both BNP and ANP can be found in heart tissue. But BNP is more frequently used because its level is higher, thus the laboratory result could be better. Both BNP and ANP has diuretic, natriuretic and antihypertensive effect that can counter the fluid overload in congestive heart failure. That is why they are secreted when the cells are stretched.

The mutant strain maroon-like has an X-linked mutant allele (Xm) that results in deep maroon-colored eyed in homozygous females

Digiron [165]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

From the illustration, maroon-like mutant strain is represented by the allele m and it is X-linked. Homozygous females ( $X^mX^m$ ) and hemizygous males ( $X^mY$ ) have the maroon trait and are mutants.

A reciprocal cross is made against the wild type. The wild type would be homozygous for the alternate from of the gene in females and hemizygous for alternate form of the gene in males.

Crossing a wild type female with a mutant male (first half);

$X^MX^M$ x $X^mY$
