The nephron forms the basic functional unit of the kidney and comprises of various parts as shown in the picture.

Urine is formed by the process of ultrafiltration, and collected in the proximal tubule, from where it passes to the loop of Henle, the distal tubule and the collecting ducts, undergoing the processes of reabsorption and secretion to form the urine that is ultimately passed out. The concentration of urine so formed is governed by the water and elecrolyte balance of the body, and the required concentration is achieved by the processes mentioned above in the nephron

kipiarov [429]

Answer and explanation:

Monophyletic species are the species whose lineage belongs to the common recent phylogenetic ancestor. As mentioned in the question, the girl has 3 species namely G, H, and K. Because there is no other criteria given, we assume that the closeness of alphabets would reflect the closeness of species. Thus, G and H are closer relative than K. Therefore, if she adds <u>I, and J species</u> in the list, all of them will be closer relatives and we can say that they are monophyletic now.

In the pedigree that is shown, which represents Irene's allele combination?

Greeley [361]

The red-green color blindness is a recessive X-linked trait. The females are not affected unless both the X chromosomes have the affected allele. Mostly, the females are the carriers, and the males are affected as they have only one X chromosome. In the given pedigree, the father of Irene have the normal allele, while her mother is a carrier. However, Irene is neither a carrier nor affected. This means that she carries normal alleles on both X chromosomes. Hence, her allele combination is $X^{H} X^{H}$ .
