"Proteinuria occurs when the filtration membrane becomes leaky, allowing proteins to cross. This impacts the blood colloid osmot
NISA [10]

Answer:

Proteinuria occurs when the filtration membrane becomes leaky, allowing proteins to cross. This impacts the blood colloid osmotic pressure by decreasing the osmolarity gradient between the blood and filtrate, thereby reducing the strength of this pressure.

Explanation:

Proteinuria is the medical term that describes the presence of proteins in the urine. <u>Proteins, in normal conditions, are not capable of filtrating through the membrane</u> but, in the presence of a disease, this is possible.

Proteins are responsible for the colloid osmotic pressure in the blood vessels, so when proteins get filtered, this pressure decreases and so does the osmolarity gradient between the blood and filtrate. <u>The decrease in osmolarity gradient also produces a decrease of the colloid osmotic pressure because the strength of the pressure is as big as the gradient between the two compartments</u>.

100 individuals whose genetic makeup is composed of 20% recessive alleles join an established population. The established popula
NeX [460]

Answer:

population = 600

heterozygotes = 2pq

The homozygous recessive percentage = q^{2}

q = 0.1

Solve for q:

∴ q = \sqrt{q}

∴ q = \sqrt{0.10}

∴ q = 0.316

solve for p:

for p + q = 1,

thus p = 1 – q = 1 – 0.316 = 0.684  

The heterozygotes = 2pq

2pq =  2 x 0.316 x 0.684 = 0.432

600 x 0.432 = 259.2  = 259

so,  the population reaches Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, 259 of indviduals should be heterozygous for this trait.

Hence, the correct answer is 259 .
