How is the shape of a shark's body adapted for swimming?

Biology

Their bodies taper to points at both the snout and the tail, reducing water resistance. Also decreasing drag -- and therefore noise -- are dermal denticles, sharp scales that cover the skin of most shark species.  Rather than bone, sharks have cartilage, which is much lighter and more flexible. In addition, their livers produce squalene, a fatty oil that helps them remain afloat. Their pectoral fins allow them to quickly change direction, dive and swim upward.

The results of the punnet square show that one out of 16 offsprings will have both the qualities of having terminal flowers and being a dwarf.

A punnet square can be described as a diagram which depicts the likely outcomes of a cross. In the above punnett square, for the plants to have both terminal flowers and to be dwarf, both the alleles should be recessive for the traits.

Which of the following statements is true?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is: D) The kidneys are paired organs that regulate water and electrolyte balance in terrestrial vertebrates.

Explanation:

The kidneys are the organs that control, for example, <u>the volume of body fluid compartments, acid-base balance, and electrolyte concentrations. </u>These organs are also key to <u>eliminate the toxins from the body. </u>

The kidneys are always two (when not is because of a pathology or the surgical removal of one of the two) and are present in vertebrates.

The kidneys <u>do not regulate blood glucose</u>. That is the job of the pancreas through two hormones called insulin and glucagon.

The kidneys <u>do not remove nitrogenous wastes</u> (urea) from the urine, instead they filtrate these wastes from the blood for these to be excreted through urine.
