7 0

Answer:

Anti-diuretic hormone causes the kidneys to increases the permeability of the collecting ducts to water .

Explanation:

The anti-diuretic hormones stimulates the process of water re-absorption by enhancing the water channels or aquaporins in the membranes of the kidney tubules. The solute free water are transferred through the channels in the tubular cells and back in the blood which then leads to decrease in the osmolarity of plasma with the increase in osmolarity of urine. The hormone is prepared in the hypothalamus of brain and stored in the pituitary glands. It reminds the kidney about the absorption of water, through which it maintains the balance of water in blood.

If a grandfather and grandchild are the only two with a genetic disorder, the disorder must be __________.
Anna35 [415]

The disorder where the grandfather and the grandchild are affected is related with the X chromosome and is called Sex linked or X linked disorder.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

All the sex linked disorders are recessive in character i.e the normal allele is dominant over the mutated allele. In females, there are 2 X chromosomes, so the mutated allele is only expressed when there are both the mutated alleles, else its masked by the dominant normal allele. But in males, there's only one X chromosome, so if a mutated allele is present, it's readily expressed.

If the Grandfather is diseased, then he must have that mutated allele in X chromosome. Through reproduction, its received by the mother, but she is normal because the other allele received from grandmother was normal. But mother has one of the X chromosomes with mutated allele, which is received by the grandson who again becomes diseased. So the disorder must be X linked disorder
