Answer:

B) swell.

Explanation:

Secretion of sweat is a way the body helps to maintain the homeostasis condition of the body. Sweat comprises of majorly water and electrolytes(e.g Sodium, chloride, calcium, potassium etc).  A sweat is said to be hypotonic when it has a lower concentration of electrolytes than the cells of the sweat glands. These sweat glands primarily secrete sweat in response to nervous stimuli (e.g exercise) or emotional stimuli. So when large amount of water is drank by a  runner who produced hypotonic sweat, his body cells will swell in response to the water intake.

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is b. actors have to be more likely to carry the altruistic allele than non actors.

Explanation:

Altruism is the behavior by an organism that benefits other organisms by costing its own fitness. The actor is the individual who is doing altruism and the recipient is the individual who is getting benefited by the actor's altruism.

An example of altruistic behavior can be seen in animal kingdom easily. Vampire bats give blood to those members of the community who were not able to go for search for blood show altruistic behavior.

Actors have altruistic genes that suggest them to behave altruistically. Non-actors may not contain alleles of altruism but the recipient might have altruistic alleles.

Hamilton's rule says that natural selection will favor the altruistic allele when rb > c.

where r = coefficient of relatedness between donor and recipient

          b = benefit received by recipient and

          c = cost paid by altruist.

Therefore, the correct answer is b.

Negative: Added to this are impacts such as increased erosion due to coastal development, increased pollution, and increased boat traffic - all of which lead to further habitat loss and put increased pressure on marine species. ... Other coastal developments can also harm sensitive marine habitats and species.
