Reabsorption of water and specific solutes occurs to varying degrees over the entire length of the renal tubule. Bulk reabsorption, which is not under hormonal control, occurs largely in the proximal tubule. Over 70% the filtrate is reabsorbed here.

Answer:

Water is reabsorbed in the kidney with the help of nephron.

Explanation:

Nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of kidney. It has 3 main parts, proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle and distal convoluted tubule. Absorption of water mainly occurs in the descending limb of loop of Henle, although it is absorbed in all three parts of nephron.

Initially, the water is absorbed from descending limb, which makes the urine concentrated. Then, from the ascending limb, Na and other ions are absorbed to make urine more concentrated. This high concentration eases the absorption of water from distal convoluted tubule.

What is the relationship between a hox gene position on a chromosome and the physical appearance of an organism

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Hox genes are thus a subset of the homeobox transcription factor genes. In many animals, the organization of the Hox genes in the chromosome is the same as the order of their expression along the anterior-posterior axis of the developing animal, and are thus said to display colinearity.

Explanation:

Hox genes, a subset of homeobox genes, are a group of related genes that specify regions of the body plan of an embryo along the head-tail axis of animals. Hox proteins encode and specify the characteristics of 'position', ensuring that the correct structures form in the correct places of the body.

Chromosomes are thread-like structures present in the nucleus, which carries genetic information from one generation to another. They play a vital role in cell division, heredity, variation, mutation, repair and regeneration.
