Answer: The diagram attached is known as the nephron,it is labelled from A to E, the structure labelled E which is known as the COLLECTING DUCT can be influenced by hormones to change the concentration of urine.

Explanation: Antidiuretic hormone ADH is one of the hormones that is produced by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland of the endocrine system,this antidiuretic hormone performs certain functions of which one is that it helps to increase the rate and amount of water that is reabasorbed in the distal convulated tubule of the nephron during the second stage of urine formation,when these water are reabsorbed,the urine being produced becomes more concentrated and there is a further reduction in the volume/quantity of urine produced.

When this volume of urine is decreased/reduced, plasma osmolarity increases in reaction to the decreased volume of urine.

Urine are also reabsorbed in the collecting duct.

Why are conservation efforts necessary

AleksandrR [38]

Biological conservation is important for ecosystem functioning. How ecosystems works is the reason behind all the commodities we enjoy. For example, due to dense forests, a lot of water is filtered trhough soil. This water replenishes underground streams, which ultimately allow us to filter that water. It's like forests are a giant and very effective mechanism to catch rain water. Besides, vegetation is pretty important for climate regulation in land, since it produces the oxygen we breath and gives shade from the sun. Any economical develpment could provide the benefits forests give. Noteworthy, forests are able to proliferate and endure, thanks a lot of interctions with microorganisms, invertebrates (like ants or bees, important pollinators). These are a few examples, why biological conservation, relies at the heart of our own population conservation.

The ratio of recombinants to total number of progeny can be simplified to a percentage, and 1 percent recombination is equal to

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

a. map unit

Explanation:

The map unit is the unit to represent the chances or the frequency of the recombination between the two genes. It shows the distance between the two genes present on the same chromosome. The frequency of recombination between two genes present on the same chromosome represents the distance between them that is measured in the form of map units. For example, two genes are said to be 10 map units apart if they exhibit 10% recombination. These genes are mapped 10 centimorgans apart from each other on the chromosome.
