Nephrons

Nephrons are the basic structural and functional units of the kidneys.  Each of the kidneys contains over a million nephrons. Nephrons function by filtering blood and then removing needed substances from the filtrate before eliminating the remaining fluid that contains water, metabolic waste, and toxins.as urine. This process occurs through three stages which are ultrafiltration, selective reabsorption and osmoregulation.

Below is a diagram of the Sun. Bettina wants to place a circular arrow in one layer of the diagram to illustrate how energy is t
VashaNatasha [74]

Hello! Your answer is W.

The layer W is called the convection zone. The lower bit of this zone is hotter (as it is closer to the core) and the outer is cooler. Since heat rises, liquid will rise in this zone, and then cool down, and sink again. This causes a circular transfer of energy.

Y and Z both transfer heat outwards - they are the radiative zone and the inner zone, respectively.

Hope this helps!

In pea plants, purple flowers (P) are dominant over white flowers (p). If two heterozygous purple-flowered plants are crossed wi
jolli1 [7]
For this you would use a punnet square (ill try my best to show it while typing)
heterozygous means different, so with the purple flower youd get the gene shown as Pp and put it into the punnet square

     P     p
P  PP  Pp
p  Pp   pp

given the possibilities in the punnet square the genes with at least one P is going to be purple and the genes with 2 "p"s are going to be white

so you would have
25% Dominate Homozygous Purple
50% Dominate Heterozygous Purple
25% Recessive Homozygous White
