The answers that are meant for the blanks spaces are listed below according to their numbers:
1. Nitrogenous
Nitrogenous wastes refers to metabolic wastes that contain nitrogen; two examples of these are urea and uric acid.
2.Water
3. Acid base
Kidney is an osmoregulatory organ, it participates in homeostasis by regulating the amount of water, electrolytes and the concentration of acid base balance in the body. It does this by means of various mechanisms which ensure that the internal environment of the body is kept constant.
4. Kidney
There are two kidneys in the body, they are responsible for urine production. They do this by filtering the blood and removing wastes, the wastes are then processed into urine and remove from the body.
5. Ureters
6. Peristalsis
7. Urinary bladder
Urine production involves the ureters, urinary bladder and urethra, these three form the urinary tract which act as a plumbing system that drain urine away from the kidneys.
8. Exterior
Urethra is the conducting pipe which leads the urine to the outside of the body for excretion.
9. 20 centimeter
10. Semen
The urethra is a tube like structure, which is approximately 8 inches long in male, this is equivalent to 20 centimeters. It is used for the transportation of urine and semen.
11. 4 centimeter
In female, the urethra is between one to two inches long, which is equivalent to 4 centimeter.
12. Urination or micturition.
The process of passing the urine out of the body through the urethra is called urination.
13. The external urethral sphincter
The urethral sphincter is associated with two muscles which are the internal urethra sphincter which is a smooth muscles that is under involuntary control while the external urethra sphincter is a striated muscle that is under voluntary control.
14. Incontinence.
Incontinence refers to poor bladder control, there are many types of incontinence caused by various factors.
Complete question:
You will find the pedigree in the attached files
Answer:
The correct option is C) <em>maternal mitochondrial mutations are inherited by </em><u><em>all of a mother's offspring</em></u><em>.</em>
Explanation:
Mitochondrial inheritance is one of the ways in which a disease or a trait might be inherited from the maternal line.
Most of the DNI is located in the nucleus, but there is also DNI in mitochondria. Sperm cells hardly carry mitochondria, so mitochondrial DNI is mostly inherited from the maternal side. If there exists any mutation in this DNI, the whole progeny of the mutated woman will be affected, as they will get the mother´s mitochondria carrying the mutation. On the contrary, if there is a man affected by a disease caused by a mutation in mitochondrial DNI, non of their descendants will get the disease.
<em>In the exposed pedigree, we can see that the mother is affected by the disease, but the couple had two daughters, and only one of them was affected, while the other one was not. This tells us that the mutation occurred on a nuclear chromosome. If the mutated allele was in mitochondria, both daughters would be affected. </em>
