The function of glomerulus and Bowman's capsule of the nephron is to?

Biology
1 answer:
Trava [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The function of glomerulus and Bowman's capsule of the nephron is to filter the blood and capture the filtrate (option D).

Explanation:

The set of glomerulus and Bowman's capsule is known as the renal corpuscle, and it is the structure responsible for the <u>filtration of blood and its uptake as urine</u>, which passes to the renal tubular system.

<u>The renal glomerulus</u> is the functional unit of the kidney, and is the structure responsible for filtering the blood that arrives through the renal capillary, to eliminate the waste products present in the blood.

<u>Bowman's capsule</u> surrounds the glomerulus and constitutes the second component of the filtration of blood plasma, in contact with the renal tubular system.

The other options are not correct because:

<em>     A. Reabsorb water into the blood occurs in the renal tubules.</em>

<em>     B. eliminate ammonia from the body. Ammonia is one of the waste substances, converted to urea, that is eliminated by the kidney.</em>

<em>     C. reabsorb salts and amino acids, occurs in the renal tubules.</em>

Explain the stages involved in testing a piece of onion for reducing sugar​
Gre4nikov [31]

Explanation:

<u>Reducing sugars are simple sugars with the ability to reduce copper (II) ions to copper (I). All monosaccharides (fructose, glucose, galactose) are reducing sugars as are some disaccharides, such as lactose and maltose. Simple sugars are all carbohydrates, and are used by the body as a source of energy.</u>

A rooster with gray feathers is mated with a hen of the same phenotype. Among their offspring, 15 chicks are gray, 6 are black,
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Alleles for feather colour exhibit incomplete dominance or co-dominance.

50% gray offspring + 50% black offspring

Explanation:

<em>It means that the alleles for feather colour in the hen exhibit incomplete dominance or co-dominance over one another.</em>

Assuming the allele for white colour is B, white colour will be b while the heterozygote Bb gives the gray phenotype.

Gray rooster + gray hen = 15 gray chicks, 6 black chicks and 8 white chicks.

15:6:8 is roughly 2:1:1 which is phenotypic ratio obtainable from crossing two heterozygous individuals as pointed out by Mendel.

Bb   x   Bb = 1BB, 2Bb, and 1bb

Crossing the gray rooster (Bb) with a black hen (bb):

Bb   x   bb = Bb, Bb, bb, and bb

          = 2Bb (gray):2bb (black)

50% of the offspring will be gray while the remaining 50% will be black.
