Answer:

Translocation

Explanation:

Changes in chromosome include deletions, duplications, inversions, and translocations.

  • Deletion occurs when an end of a chromosome breaks off.
  • Duplication is the presence of a chromosome segment more than once in the same chromosome.
  • Translocation is when a fragment of chromosomal breakage join a nonhomologous chromosome.
  • Reciprocal translocation is a chromosome abnormality caused by exchange of parts between non-homologous chromosomes.
  • Robertsonian translocation occurs when two non-homologous chromosomes get attached, meaning that given two healthy pairs of chromosomes, one of each pair "sticks" together.

Consider this situation: you want to reabsorb sodium ions but you do not want to increase the volume of the blood by reabsorbing
choli [55]

Answer:

Increase aldosterone and decrease ADH

Explanation:

Aldosterone causes reabsorption of sodium ions while Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) causes reabsorption of water. Aldosterone also causes water reabsorption due to increased osmotic pressure by reabsorbing sodium ions. But for water reabsorption, Aldosterone has to work along with ADH to increase permeability for water. If we increase Aldosterone and decrease ADH, the sodium ions will be reabsorbed while water cannot be reabsorbed due to decreased permeability of DCT and collecting tubules for water.
