Explanation:

During summer when the surrounding temperature is high, we lose water in the form of sweat, direct evaporation considerably. Hence kidneys retain water for maintaining fluidity of the blood and less urine is formed.

But during winter, the surrounding temperature will be very low. There will not be any sweating, no evaporation losses. Moreover to keep the body temperature constant, the blood capillaries in the skin get constricted and the blood pressure is increased. The result is that our body gets warmed up. In order to maintain the blood pressure normal, the excess water along with the wastes is excreted mostly in the form of urine. This is the reason for more urine out put and frequent urination under very cool conditions and in winter.

select the correct answer sickle cells disease is a hereditary mutation that causes The red blood cells to the form decreasin

UNO [17]

Answer:

Sickle cell disease is due to a type of substitution mutation.

Explanation:

Sickle cell disease is a condition that is transmitted from parents to children in an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. It is due to a mutation that is capable of altering the shape of the erythrocyte, as well as its ability to circulate and carry oxygen.

The mutation that occurs in sickle cell disease is due to an alteration in the β-chain of hemoglobin, caused by the substitution of thymine base by adenine in the DNA that determines it. As a result, valine replaces glutamic acid in the β-chain amino acid sequence, with the consequences described.

The other options are not correct because deletion, duplication and translocation correspond to chromosomal mutations, not responsible for sickle cell disease.
