Answer: REABSORPTION
Explanation: Reabsorption or tubular reabsorption is one of the processes involved in urine formation,the other two(2) being ultra filteration and and active secretion.
Reabsorption takes place mainly in the proximal convulated tubule of the nephron, nearly all of the water, glucose, potassium, and amino acids lost during glomerular filtration re-enter the blood from the renal tubules,moving solutes out of the filtrate and back into the bloodstream.these solutes that are moved back into the bloodstream goes back into circulation alongside with the blood because it is needed for the normal functioning of the body system and maintanance of homeostasis.
In a situation where tubular reabsorption does not occur as a result of certain conditions like hyposecretion and diabetes insipidus,there will be imbalance of ions in the body as a result of useful ions leaving the body via urine and the body is left with ion deficiency.
Answer:
1. why: to protect the organism against pathogenic infections
2. how: by using genome engineering techniques. For example, by using the CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing system in order to enlarge telomeres and thus avoid the negative effects of aging (i.e., tissue/organ atrophy).
Explanation:
The thymus plays a central role in immunity since in this organ thymus cell lymphocytes (T cells) mature into immunocompetent T-cells that initiate immune responses against pathogenic infections. Moreover, a particular type of B lymphocytes known as thymic B cells also resides at the thymus. It has been proposed that thymic B cells might be involved in the negative selection of T cells. Thus, the thymus plays a critical role in protecting the organism from infections, thereby it would be imperative to avoid thymus atrophy if human life is expanded. Nowadays, we know that telomere length shortens with age, thereby it is expected that genome engineering techniques capable of restoring telomere length might eventually avoid age effects such as, in this case, thymus atrophy. In this regard, the CRISPR-Cas 9 system is a versatile low-cost genome engineering tool that might be used for the addition of nucleotides at telomere ends.
100% of the offspring would have the genotype Bb, and the phenotype of the blue color.
The last option would be correct
