Which of the following statements about aldosterone is NOT correct?- Aldosterone is stimulated by decreased plasma sodium levels

and increased plasma potassium levels.- Aldosterone increases the number of passive sodium channels in the luminal membrane of the distal tubule and collecting duct, thus aiding sodium reabsorption.-Aldosterone is produced in the adrenal cortex.-Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption by increasing the number of Na+-K+ ATPase pumps in the luminal membrane of the proximal tubule.

Answer:

C. Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption by increasing the number of Na+-K+ ATPase pumps in the luminal membrane of the proximal tubule.

Explanation;

  • Aldosterone hormone is produced by the adrenal gland and mainly carries out its functions in the kidney.Through the aldosterone hormone the body is able to retain more water for the kidney is able to hold more sodium.
  • When the plasma sodium levels decrease and the plasma potassium levels increase the production of aldosterone hormone is stimulated for sodium is needed in the .body to maintain the high water levels in the body.

Basically the experiment has to be done with proper reasoning to make the scientific explanation satisfactory for all concerned. Scientific method is a process that is ongoing. Based on the observations via properly done experiments, a scientist can come to a proper conclusion. Although the procedures followed during experiment may vary, but the final result should always be the same. </span>

A student decided to investigate the relation of height to resting heart rate. The student determined the resting heart rate of
frez [133]
Air temperature: When temperatures (and the humidity) soar, the heart pumps a little more blood, so your pulse rate may increase, but usually no more than five to 10 beats a minute.<span>Body position: Resting, sitting or standing, your pulse is usually the same. Sometimes as you stand for the first 15 to 20 seconds, your pulse may go up a little bit, but after a couple of minutes it should settle down. Emotions: If you’re stressed, anxious or “extraordinarily happy or sad” your emotions can raise your pulse. </span><span>Body size: Body size usually doesn’t change pulse. If you’re very obese, you might see a higher resting pulse than normal, but usually not more than 100. </span><span>Medication use: Meds that block your adrenaline (beta blockers) tend to slow your pulse, while too much thyroid medication or too high of a dosage will raise it.

Different ratios occur in crosses with single gene pairs or two gene pairs. What types of ratios are likely to occur in crosses
likoan [24]

Answer:

Genotype ratio: 1, 1:1, 1:2:1

Phenotype ratio: 1, 3:1

Explanation:

Single gene pair cross is also known as monohybrid cross. This means that only one gene usually with two alleles is observed and it express one trait.

For example, if we name the gene for a certain trait with A, the possible genotypes are AA (dominant homozygous), aa (recessive homozygous) and Aa (heterozygous). Possible crosses are:

P: AA  x  AA

F1 : all of them are AA

The same is with aa x aa (all of the offspring are with aa genotype)

P: AA  x  Aa

F1: AA Aa AA Aa  (genotype ratio 1:1) (phenotype ratio 3:1)

The same genotype ratio is  in aa x Aa (offspring will have aa Aa aa Aa-(genotype ratio 1:1) (phenotype ratio 1:1)

P: Aa x Aa

F1: AA Aa Aa aa (genotype ratio 1:2:1) (phenotype ratio 3:1)

P: AA x aa

F1: Aa Aa Aa Aa (1)
