The urinary system is made up of the kidneys, bladder and ureters (tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder). The kidneys act as filters removing extra fluid and waste from your blood to make urine. Urine passes from the kidneys into the ureters, which drain into the bladder. When the bladder is full, urine flows out of the body through a tube called the urethra. The ureters normally enter the bladder at a diagonal angle and have a special one-way valve system that prevents urine from flowing back up the ureters in the direction of the kidneys. If this system doesn’t work, urine can flow back towards the kidneys. This is called vesicoureteric reflux (also known as urinary reflux). Sometimes vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) can be associated with other 'plumbing' problems in the urinary tract and with small, damaged or malformed kidneys.

So I believe the answer is 1.

In cod fishing, older and larger fish are more likely to be retained in nets than younger and smaller fish. Despite the removal

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

D. Selection has led to decreases in the size of fish at the age of reproductive maturity.

Explanation:

The larger body size of the fishes is not an adaptive trait as it reduces the survival chances of these fishes. The process of natural selection tends to increase the frequency of the traits that increase the survival fitness of the organisms. Here, the fishes with smaller body size at the reproductive age have greater chances of survival and would reproduce more to leave more progeny. Over the generations, the selection pressure would increase the proportion of fishes that are smaller during reproductive age.

Genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) have included corn crops engineered to produce a natural pesticide to kill a certain insec

Dmitrij [34]

A downside to this mutant corn wohld be that it would give rise to a presticide-immune strain of the certain insect.

All the non-immune bugs would die, leaving the few immune ones to reproduce. That would result in a overpopulation of immune super-bug that would still be able to go ham on the large, GMO corn, like nothing happened, and still go on to affect native plant populations. That can become a huge problem.

Hope that helped!
