Osmoregulation is the active regulation of the osmotic pressure of an organism's body fluids, detected by osmoreceptors, to maintain the homeostasis of the organism's water content; that is, it maintains the fluid balance and the concentration of electrolytes (salts in solution which in this case is represented by body fluid) to keep the body fluids from becoming too diluted or concentrated. Osmotic pressure is a measure of the tendency of water to move into one solution from another by osmosis.[1] The higher the osmotic pressure of a solution, the more water tends to move into it. Pressure must be exerted on the hypertonic side of a selectively permeable membrane to prevent diffusion of water by osmosis from the side containing pure water.

Organisms in aquatic and terrestrial environments must maintain the right concentration of solutes and amount of water in their body fluids; this involves excretion (getting rid of metabolic nitrogen wastes and other substances such as hormones that would be toxic if allowed to accumulate in the blood) through organs such as the skin and the kidneys.

The enzyme telomerase solves the problem of replication at the ends of linear chromosomes by which method?
adell [148]
<h2>Answer </h2>

The method is by adding various small DNA chains such as TTAGGG, that develop a hairpin turn.

<u>Explanation </u>

The method is by adding various small DNA chains such as TTAGGG, that develop a hairpin turn. Telomerase is an RNA dependent DNA polymerase means an enzyme that can make DNA using RNA as a template. The ends of linear chromosomes called telomeres that protect genes from getting deleted as cells continue to divide. The telomerase enzyme attaches to the end of chromosome complementary bases to RNA template are added on 3 ends of the DNA strand.
