Conn disease, also called primary aldosteronism, is characterized by excretion of excessive amounts of aldosterone.
Aldosterone is a hormone secreted by the adrenal gland, specifically in its cortex. It influences the hydroelectrolytic equilibrium by increasing the reabsorption of sodium (and by the way water) and elimination of potassium in the <span>distal convoluted tubule in the kidney.
In Conn's syndrome, there's an increase of aldosterone due to a tumor, carcinoma of hyperplasia, its most important symptom is neuromuscular trouble due to hypokalemia.</span>

A researcher determines an organism to be eukaryotic, unicellular, and autotrophic. In which taxonomic group should this organis
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

According to the characteristics of this organism, it is classified into the Protist kingdom, which brings together unicellular or simple multicellular organisms that do not form tissues, both autotrophic and heterotrophic.

<h3>What is the kingdom protista?</h3>

It includes eukaryote-type organisms that, due to their characteristics, cannot be included in the rest of the kingdoms of this class.

Although most protists are unicellular, there are also multicellular protists and they can have autotrophic or heterotrophic metabolisms.

Therefore, we can conclude that the protist kingdom groups living beings that have cells belonging to the eukaryote group.

Schach [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

LHON (Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy): Is a disease that is characterized by loss of vision in young adults.

Sickle cell anemia: Is a disease characterized by production of abnormally shaped red blood cells, that is, not round in shape as normal but are 'sickle' shaped or elongated/crescent shaped.  

Both diseases are heritable But LHON is caused by mutations existing in the mitochondrion thus only inherited maternally.

Sickle cell anemia is caused by mutations in the HBB gene which produces the beta subunit of hemoglobin. It is inherited from recessive genes of both parents.
