Answer:

The Loop of Henle serves to create a concentration gradient throughout the nephron which helps increase the reabsorption of water and certain ions. In the thin descending limb, water is very permeable and is reabsorbed due to the existing concentration gradient in the medulla.

Answer:

frontal

Explanation:

In a mammalian brain, there are four major lobes that are present and one of them is the frontal lobe.
The frontal lobe is mainly rich in dopaminergic neurons and thus, it is mainly concerned with functions such as memory, reward, motivation, planning, attention, etc.
The process of break down of tissues and cell death in the tissues is referred to as atrophy and since the frontal lobe is associated with the functions as mentioned above its atrophy would lead to a slow decline in these functions.
Since Mr. Klondlike behavior is changing his blunt comments are most likely a result of atrophy of the frontal lobe.

If a cell in metaphase of mitosis is fused with a cell in the G$$_1$$ phase of the cell cycle, the second nucleus will also begi

nalin [4]

Answer:

C. Molecules such as cyclins are in high concentration in the cytoplasm of a dividing cell and will signal the fused cells nucleus to undergo mitosis

Explanation:

Various stages of the cell cycle are under tight regulation. Specific proteins such as cyclins and cyclin-dependent protein kinases determine if the cell would progress from one stage of the cell cycle to the next. When a cell is in the metaphase, the cyclins specific for mitosis are present in a higher amount in the cell. These cyclins bind to the specific CDKs and activate them.

The activated CDKs then phosphorylate proteins that make the cell to move through various stages of mitosis. Therefore, fusing a G1 cell with a cell in metaphase of mitosis would trigger mitosis in the G1 cell due to the presence of mitosis specific cyclins in the second cell.
