Answer:
Option B) functions to increase sodium reabsorption.
Explanation:
Aldosterone is an hormone secreted by the cortex of the adrenal gland. The adrenal gland is situated at the superior poles of the right and left kidneys.
Aldosterone regulates sodium homeostasis and as such helps to control blood volume and blood pressure.
Aldosterone is secreted in response to decreased blood pressure (hypotension) to increase sodium reabsorption from urine, sweat, and the gut. Also excessive aldosterone levels (too high sodium) can lead to high blood pressure (hypertension).
The main reason for the species extinction is for the ecological changes.
Removal of introns and the splicing together of exons.
Introns are regions of the DNA code that do not code for amino acids; therefore, they need to be removed before the mRNA strand is translated. Exons are the parts of the strand that do code for proteins, so they need to be pieced together once the introns are removed.
