The polyuria and polydypsia seen in patients with diabetes mellitus results from which of the following?

Biology
1 answer:
Mama L [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

B. The inability to reabsorb all of the glucose filtered from the blood at the level of the kidneys.

Explanation:

Diabetes mellitus is a syndrome caused by either lack of insulin or decreased sensitivity of insulin receptors. Type I diabetes is due to lack of insulin secretion where as type II diabetes is due to decreased sensitivity of target tissue to the insulin hormone.

Polyuria i.e excess urine secretion and polydypsia i.e increased flluid intake due to increased thirst are the classic symptoms of diabetes. When the glucose level in blood increases, its not completely reabsorbed from the renal tubules in the kidney, the excess glucose thus enters into the filtrate and moves out along with urine.  This normally happens if the blood glucose is as high as 180 mg/100 ml or above. The loss of glucose in urine causes osmotic diuresis. Due to the osmotic effect of glucose in the renal tubules, the tubular reabsorption of water decreases thereby increasing the overall volume of urine. Both extracellular and intracellular dehydration are symptoms of diabetes mellitus.

Tay-Sachs, which is a recessive lethal disease, results only when individuals possess two copies of the disease-causing allele.
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

a. Heterozygous individuals may pass on their copy of the disease-causing allele to offspring.

Explanation:

Tay-Sachs, which is a recessive lethal disease  ---- Let say the recessive lethal diseases is s

∴ it only results when an individual posses two copies of the diseases-causing allele i.e two copies of the disease will be ss.

Now, when two hetrozygous individuals crossed , it is obvious that each can pass on their copy of the disease-causing allele to the offspring.

Let show an illustration for the above statement.

Let the heterozygous individual be Ts, if Ts cross with another Ts;

we will have:

Ts × Ts

         T          s

T        TT        Ts

s        Ts          ss

the offspring are TT,Ts,Ts,ss

We can now see how the Heterozygous individuals pass on their copy of the disease-causing allele to the offspring (Ts).

Which represents the cross between parent plants if one is heterozygous and has yellow-colored pods and the other is homozygous
9966 [12]

The cross between parent plants if one is heterozygous for yellow pods and the other is homzygous for green pods - Yy yy., i.e., option A.

<h3>What is heterozygous?</h3>

The occurrence of different types of alleles is referred to as heterozygous condition.

A heterozygous genotype may consist of one normal allele and one mutated allele, or two distinct mutated alleles.

The missing options of the question are:

  1. Yy ´ yy
  2. YY ´ yy
  3. Yy ´ Yy
  4. yy ´ yy

The cross between parent plants if one is heterozygous for yellow pods and the other is homzygous for green pods - Yy yy.

Thus, the correct option is A.
