Some kidney diseases cause a change in the permeability of glomerular capillaries making them more permeable to plasma proteins.

This changes the colloid osmotic pressure, thus drawing water out of the blood and into tissues. The result is

Answer:

The correct answer is edema.

Explanation:

When the capillaries or the tiny blood vessels within the body leak fluid, the condition known as edema takes place. This fluid accumulates in the tissues surrounding it, resulting in inflammation. Edema generally takes place due to mild conditions like consuming more salt, staying or sitting in one position for a long duration, and others.

However, in some situations, edema can also be a sign of an extreme medical condition like kidney disease. During kidney disease, the sodium and additional fluid within the circulation may result in edema. The edema related to kidney disease generally takes place around the eyes and in the legs.

some heterozygous alleles create variations in expression so that there is not a clear dominant or recessive allele true or fals
Simora [160]

Answer: False

 The variations in expression depends on how genes code for proteins that would specify whether it will be dominant or recessive allele.   Within a population, there may be a number of alleles for a given gene and these differences can cause variations in the protein that is produced. The change in protein expression affect traits due to the variations in protein activity or expression that produce different phenotypes.

<span>Moreover, individuals that have copies of different alleles are known as heterozygous and individuals that have two copies of the same allele are referred to a homozygous. The expression patterns observed in inheritance will depend on whether the allele is found on an autosomal chromosome or a sex chromosome, and on whether the allele is dominant or recessive.</span>
