Answer:

Not passed along or it is recessive

Explanation:

There are two reasons for the shift in tail length in mice. The first reason could be that the tail length of mice is a recessive trait. In a population where there are also dominant traits, these traits may not show but still be in the population via the heterozygous individuals. The second reason that there may be fewer mice with short tails is that this phenotype causes some survival incompatibility that they may not survive to reproductive years or are not chosen by other mice to cross with. The short tail then does not get passes on.

ADH and aldosterone secretion are part of the body's compensation for A serious hemorrhage. Vasopressin or ADH is a hormone synthesized as a peptide prohormone in neurons in the hypothalamus and is converted to AVP. The primary role is maintaining osmolarity and thus maintaining the volume of water in the extracellular fluid, and the secondary function of ADH is raising blood pressure by constricting blood vessels. Aldosterone on the other hand is essential for sodium conservation in the kidney.
