Answer:

Countercurrent flow met the goals due to difference in concentration gradient.

Explanation:

Countercurrent flow met the goals because it flows in opposite direction while on the other hand, parallel flow did not meet the goals because it flows in the same direction. For example. the blood flows in one direction and the dialysate flows in the opposite direction. The countercurrent flow of the blood and dialysate increases the concentration gradient between the blood and dialysate. The increased gradient helps to remove more potassium, phosphorus and urea from the blood. If we used parallel flow so less  concentration gradient of solutes is present and hence, less potassium, phosphorus and urea are removed from the blood

A non-disjunction in meiotic anaphase occurring in either an egg or sperm might produce a human zygote with 45 chromosomes. A condition in which human contain 45 chromosomes instead of 46 chromosomes is called aneuploidy or abnormal chromosome number.

<h3>What is aneuploidy?</h3>

The occurrence of one or more extra or missing chromosomes leading to an unbalanced chromosome complement, or any chromosome number that is not an exact multiple of the haploid number (23).                                                                                           It is the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes in a cell, for example a human cell having 45 or 47 chromosomes instead of the usual 46.                                                                                                                  An extra or missing chromosome is a common cause of some genetic disorders.                                                                                                       The most common cause of aneuploidy happens during cell division when the chromosomes do not separate properly between the two cells.

Antibiotic resistance happens when an antibiotic lost its ability in controlling or killing bacterial growth. At this moment the bacteria are already resistant to the antibiotic and are multiplying even though the drug is present. This is a natural phenomenon.
