Answer: Hyponatremia(low serum sodium level)

Explanation:

This is a condition where the sodium serum Level drops to less than 136mEqL.Sodium regulates electrolyte water balance of the body by regulating the amount of water that enter the cells.Therefore when it level drops water concentration rises increasing the water potential surrounding the cells(extracellular) but not of the intacellular fluids

.Less water is reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule(PCT) of tthe Nephon. Since low sodium is available little will be reabsorbed by the PCT for reabsorption of water.

it is cause by liver diseases,diarrhoea, intake of large or too much water,hormonal imbalances etc

Symptoms

Headache, confusion, nausea, vomiting.and coma.

Treatment.

Controlled or moderate water intake

Treatment of related diseases.

Necessary precautions during intense activities.

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B, that is, less genetic diversity in later generations.

Explanation:

A pandemic that spread across Europe between 1348 and 1350 was named as the Black Death. It has been predicted that of the total population of Europe at that time 30 to 60 percent died due to the pandemic. The geneticists are still trying to document the influence of Black Death on the population of Europe today.

It has been found that in England, the genetic diversity is found much lower in comparison to what it was in the eleventh century, and is primarily due to so many people dying in the 1300s. However, the rest of Europe does not demonstrate a dropped amount of genetic variation, which maybe because of the enhanced patterns of migration in other places.

What did not occur in the Proterozoic eon?

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

C. Multi-celled eukaryotic organisms began to diversify

Explanation:

The Proterozoic is an eon in which numerous important things occurred. There were multiple organisms that appeared in this eon. They were able to perform the process of photosynthesis which resulted in gradual pilling up of oxygen into the atmosphere, thus changing the composition of the atmosphere, and setting up the terrain for the future development of other organisms. It is an eon though in which there were only single-celled organisms, while the diversification of multi-celled eukaryotic organisms occurred in the next eon, the Phanerozoic.

const2013 [10]

<h2>Natural selection </h2>

Explanation:

Malthus's ideas about geometric population growth implied that: resources in every generation would be limited, therefore individuals in every generation would have to compete for those resources

Thomas Malthus argued that the food supply increased linearly while population size increased exponentially
The central theme of Malthus' work was that population growth would always overpower food supply growth, creating perpetual states of hunger, disease, and struggle
The natural, ever-present struggle for survival caught the attention of Darwin, and he extended Malthus' principle to the evolutionary scheme
Malthus’ writings ultimately inspired Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection

resources in every generation would be limited, therefore individuals in every generation would have to compete for those resources.
