Answer:
Kidneys : helps in forming urine
Ureter : They are connected to kidney and by peristaltic action transports urine from kidneys to bladder .
Urinary bladder : It is an hollow sac that holds the urine .
Urethra : transports urine from the bladder to outside of the body .
Explanation:
The human excretory system consists of : Kidney ,ureter ,urinary bladder and urethra .The figure is shown below .
Now , as far as functions are concerned we have :
Kidneys : They have excretory units called nephrons that further consist of :
- Bowman's capsule
- PCT (Proximal convoluted tubule )
- DCT (Distal convoluted tubule)
- CT (collecting tubule )
In nephrons urine is formed and via ureter it is transported to a hollow sac like structure called urinary bladder .
This bladder has muscles that cant remain contracted up to longer period )and then voluntary and involuntary it is excreted through urethra .
The process of passing urine is called Micturition .
Answer:
B
Explanation:
<em>Respiration </em><em>can </em><em>happen</em><em> </em><em>without</em><em> </em><em>sunlight</em><em>,</em><em>but </em><em>photosynthesis</em><em> </em><em>cannot</em><em>.</em><em>a</em><em>n</em><em>d</em><em> </em><em>photosynthesis</em><em> </em><em>doesn't</em><em> </em><em>take</em><em> </em><em>place </em><em>at </em><em>night</em><em>,</em><em>so </em><em>less </em><em>carbon dioxide</em><em> </em><em>is </em><em>used </em><em>up </em><em>than </em><em>it </em><em>is </em><em>produced</em><em>.</em>

Explanation:
According to National Geographic, ostriches are a part of a very small group of birds that cannot fly because unlike most birds, their small wings are not strong enough to carry their body for flight and their breastbone isn't balanced enough for flying. Birds that are unable to fly are called ratites.
A number of scientists namely Thomas Huxley, Richard Owen, and others have tried to show that these ratites are actually related to each other and eventually, it was discovered that they all had one thing in common, the way the bones at the roof of the mouth were arranged was similar to that of reptiles rather than other birds.
Richard Owen found and assembled the remains of an extinct ostrich skeleton which was an extinct moa and contrary to already held opinion, one ratite known as tinamous did not really fit with the profile of a ratite because it could fly, even though almost grudgingly and they possessed keeled sternum which suggests that they evolved from flying birds.
DNA tests showed that tinamous evolved within ratites and not necessarily as a separate entity. The tests also showed that moas and tinamous are related.
It was also speculated that the division of the supercontinent Pangaea southern side led to the separation of flightless ratite ancestors, causing each landlocked group to evolve and become the flightless birds we know today such as the ostrich, rheas, etc.
Answer:
Testcrosses clarify linkage because each phenotypic class of progeny corresponds to each gamete type produced by the dihybrid parent.
Explanation:
- A test cross involves the crossing of an individual with another phenotypically recessive individual so as to determine the zygosity of the former by analyses of the proportions of offspring phenotypes.
- In order to determine linkage, the test cross shows that if the parentals are more than the recombinants, we can say that the two genes such as b and c are genetically linked and therefore, they must be on the same chromosome.
- Also, the test-crosses help to find out which alleles came from which parent.
- By setting up testcrosses in which one parent is homozygous for the recessive alleles of both genes,we can analyze the gene combinations received in the gametes from the other, doubly heterozygous parent.
