What prevents the backflow of urine from the urinary bladder to the kidneys?

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 which direction does RNA synthesis proceed?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

5' to 3'.

Explanation:

Transcription may be defined as the process of formation of RNA molecule from the template DNA with the help of enzymes and the various transcriptional factors.

The process of RNA synthesis occur in the 5' to 3' direction. The RNA polymerase reads in the 3' to 5' direction and leads to the synthesis in 5' to 3' direction. The transcription factors binds to the DNA promoter during RNA synthesis.

Thus, the correct answer is option (d).

What is the relationship between oxygen debt and muscle fatigue and an elevated respiratory rate after exercise ?
Leto [7]
Oxygen is needed by aerobic organisms for cellular respiration process. Oxygen happens when the muscles are working faster than energy can be produced. Energy is still produced but anaerobic process is done to cope up. The signs of oxygen debt are panting and muscle fatigue.

What is it important that carbon is recycled?
marshall27 [118]
It's not so important that it be recycled ... after all, there's almost a limitless supply,
and there's no danger of ever running out of it.

What's important is to keep carbon out of the atmosphere.  In order to do that, we
need to reduce the amount of it that's released during so many of the processes
that we've been doing on a huge scale for the past 200 years, and invent ways
to capture the carbon that we DO continue to release, before it gets into the
atmosphere.

What are the most likely percentages for offspring of two red/white-feathers parents?
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

The question lacks options, the options are:

parents?

A.100% red/white-feather chickens.

B.50% white-feather chickens and 50% red/white-feather chickens.

C.33% white-feather chickens, 33% red-feather chickens, and 33% red/white-feather chickens.

D.25% white-feather chickens, 25% red-feather chickens, and 50% red/white-feather chickens

The Correct answer is D

Explanation:

According to the question, the hybrid chicken has a mixture of red and white feather phenotypes expressed at the same time. This tells us that the red and white alleles are CODOMINANT in the chicken i.e. none is dominant or recessive over the other.

Let's assume that (R) allele is the red feather colour while (r) allele is for white feather colour. Therefore, the red/white feathered chicken will have a Rr genotype. In a cross between two red/white feathered chicken (Rr), the following offsprings will be produced RR, Rr, Rr and rr

RR- Homozygous red feather d chicken (1/4 × 100=25%)

Rr- Hybrid Red/White feathered chicken (2/4 × 100=50%)

rr- Homozygous white feathered chicken (1/4 × 100=25%)
