During periods of intense activity, your body releases an antidiuretic hormone called vasopressin that causes the body to retain

water (by decreasing the amount of water that is expelled in urine). why does this make endurance athletes particularly vulnerable to developing hyponatremia?

Hyponatremia is a condition where the concentration of sodium is abnormally low in the body. Sodium acts as an electrolyte that helps in maintaining the amount of water in the body.

Extremely low amount of sodium in the body leads to weakness, headache, etc. During periods of intense activity body releases vasopressin hormone that helps body to retain water. Endurance athletes become vulnerable to developing hyponatremia because these athletes during water during strenuous exercises. This makes the concentration of sodium low in the body by diluting it with more water.This may lead to hyponatremia.

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Option (3).

Explanation:

Mark recapture method is used for the estimation of population size of an area. The individuals are identified by  some mark on them. The formula of mark recapture method is

N = M * C/ R

Here, N is the number of the individuals, M is the individuals are marked and captured, C is the individual captured again with mark or non mark and R is recaptured marked individual.

The individual with 200 population, 20 are marked for the first time represent the large population size.

In certain mice, long tails (T) are dominant over short tails (t). If 2 hybrid mice mate, what will the outcome be?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

3 long tails : 1 short tail

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for tail length in mice. The allele for long tail (T) is dominant over the allele for short tail (t). This means that an heterozygous mice will possess the long tail length.

According to this question, in a cross between two hybrid or heterozygote mice i.e. Tt × Tt, the following gametes will be produced by each parent:

Tt - T and t

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following will be produced: TT, Tt, Tt and tt.

Offsprings with genotype TT, Tt and Tt will have a LONG TAIL while genotype  tt will have a SHORT TAIL. Hence, the phenotypic ratio will be 3 long tails : 1 short tail.
