<span>The correct answer is B. their kidneys can't excrete concentrated salt. Since salt is dissolved in water, the organism sends its water reserves to the kidneys to dissolve and excrete the salt but this leads to dehydration. That's why people at sea who don't know what they're doing often dehydrate themselves by drinking sea water, thinking that they're safe.</span>
I think it is D) Both processes involve energy transformations

Explanation:
Meiosis is a form of cell division that occurs in the sex cells of organisms. It ensures the reduction of a diploid cell to an haploid cell to allow for the formation of a diploid zygote after fertilization (contribution of both parents haploid sex cells to give a diploid zygote). Thus, this process is very essential and important.
The reduction is accomplished by 2 divisions after the duplication of chromosomes
- first division: separation of homologous pairs of chromosomes (this reduces the total in half)
- second division: separation of sister chromatids of a chromosome.
The rearrangement in meiosis occurs by crossing over/genetic recombination.
This is the exchange of genetic material between homologous pairs of chromosome bringing about a rearrangement and genetic variation
An example of a chromosomal abnormality that arises as a result of defects in this process is the Down Syndrome which is caused by a nondisjunction of the chromosomes 21 pair in a sex cell.
This condition produces offsprings that have some characteristic facial features, short stature etc
When a BB male and a Bb female are crossed, 50% BB and 50% Bb genotypes are produced and a 100% black phenotype.
The entire number of genes that an organism receives from its parents makes up its genotype. Alleles, which are pairs of these genes, are found. One gene is dominant and one gene is recessive in each allele.
The dominant gene is always expressed in a cross if it is present. Only when a pair of alleles is made up of two recessive genes does the recessive gene express itself. In this instance, the white fur is subordinate to the black fur. White fur is represented as b, while black fur is represented as B.
We can see that when we cross the BB male and Bb female, we will get a genotype that is 50% BB and 50% Bb, as well as a phenotype that is 100% black fur.
Parents: BB x Bb
Gametes: B, B, and B, b
Offspring: BB, BB, Bb, Bb
The genotypic ratio = 1:1
The phenotypic ratio = 1:0
Genotype probabilities:
P(BB) = 2/4 = 0.5 or 50%
P(Bb) = 2/4 = 0.5 or 50%
