This is why natural selection acts on phenotypes instead of genotypes. A phenotype is an organism's physical traits, while a genotype is an organism's genetic makeup.

MAXImum [283]
The right answer is <span>A) semi-permeable membrane

<span>A semi-permeable membrane is a membrane permeable to a liquid (solvent) and impermeable (or poorly permeable) to substances dissolved in the liquid (solute).

</span>The tubule of a kidney consists of a semi-permeable membrane and has also specific transporters which allow absorption and reabsorption. These "tools" allows some substances like ions to be absorbed/reabsorbed (by the transporters), without any changes in the concentration of the other substances (because both the membrane and the transporters stopped them).</span>

In the Northern Hemisphere, climate scientists observe seasonal fluctuations in carbon dioxide concentration with the highest le
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Higher Photosynthesis, lower carbondioxide concentration in the atmosphere and vice versa.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is greatly responsible for the fluctuation of carbondioxide concentration in the atmosphere because photosynthesis is the process where carbondioxide gas is used in large amount. If the vegetation occurs higher in the season, decrease will occur in the carbondioxide concentration of the atmosphere while on the other hand, if the less vegetation occur then there is higher amount of carbondioxide concentration in the atmosphere.
