Answer:

A) ADH secretion decreases. B) Urine osmolarity decreases.

Explanation:

Antidiuretic Hormone or ADH is responsible for the reabsorption of water through the kidneys.

A) Drinking alcoholic and/or caffeinated beverages decreases the release and effect of ADH so the water does not get absorbed as much as it should, which in turn results in more urination.

B) Osmolarity is a term used to express the concentration of a solution in terms of a certain particle. Since less ADH secretion results in more water being in the urine, this lowers the concentration of the urine. So urine osmolarity would be decreased.

I hope this answer helps.

The hepatic portal vein is formed by the union of the ___ and the ___

natima [27]

The answer is splenic vein and superior mesenteric vein. To simplify, the hepatic portal vein is made by the union of the splenic vein and the superior mesenteric vein. The hepatic portal vein is one of the utmost significant veins that obtain blood from the body and transfer it to the liver for filtration and treating. This vein is a portion of the hepatic portal system that obtains all of the blood strenuous from the abdominal digestive area also from the pancreas, gallbladder, and spleen.

Suppose a large pizza is placed on earth, the moon, and Jupiter. In each location, the pizza weighs 2 N Which pizza would have t

Maurinko [17]

The correct answer is option A

The pizza on the Jupiter has the least mass as the weight of the pizza is same,it will have the least mass in the planet with the highest gravity and Jupiter has the highest gravity.

Explanation:

The Moon's gravity is much less than the Earth's gravity. It is approximately one-sixth of the Earth's. The Jupiter gravity is much more intense than Earth's. It is approx 2.528 times more.

Hence, it is the Jupiter where the pizza will have least mass.

In pea plants, round seeds are dominant to wrinkled seeds. If you cross two heterozygous plants, what would your ratios be for g

Mila [183]

Answer:

Genotype - RR - 25%, Rr - 50%, rr - 25% (1:2:1)

Phenotype - Round seeds - 75%, Wrinkled seeds - 25% (3:1)

Explanation:

Let the letter "r" stand for the alleles, where R is round seeds and r is wrinkled seeds. A genotype is an individual's genes represented through alleles. Phenotypes are how the genes express themselves. In other words, genotypes will be written using letters, the alleles, and phenotypes will be the possible outcomes of the alleles.

To find the ratios/percentages of the genotypes and phenotypes you can use a punnet squares. Both of the parent seeds have the genotypes Rr and the phenotype of round seeds.

If you create punnet square (which had four boxes in total) 1 will have RR, 2 will have Rr, and 1 will have rr. These are the ratios for the genotypes. Each box represents 25%, so the percentages will be 25, 50, and 25. Finally, 3 of these boxes (RR and Rr) will result in round seeds because those are domiant. Only the genotype rr will result in wrinkled phenotype. Therefore, the ratio is 3:1 or 75% to 25%.
