Aldosterone increases the reabsorption of sodium ions bringing more back into the blood.
<span>This is the main mineralocorticoid hormone of the adrenal gland. The function of the aldosterone is in the homeostatic regulation of blood pressure, plasma sodium (reabsorption) and potassium levels (excretion).</span>
Answer:
In humans, genetic variations are caused because humans reproduce by a sexual life cycle which is termed as meiosis. In such a life cycle, the offspring receives half the chromosomes from the mother and half from the father. Crossing over and random assortment of chromosomes are two phenomenons which occur during meiosis. Due to these two phenomenons, genetic variations are caused.
During crossing over, the exchange of DNA segments between the homologous chromosomes takes place which brings about the genetic variations.
Answer:
Explanation:
A woman with type A blood (whose father was type O) meaning her genotype is AO mates with
Man that has type O blood (OO genotype)
Both are heterozygous for MN blood group and both also heterozygous for the FUT1 gene controlling the synthesis of the H substance (Hh)- which determines the expression of the A and B antigen.
Cross
A O M N H h
O AO OO M MM MN H HH Hh
O AO OO N MN NN h Hh hh
Type A- 1/2 O-1/2 type M- 1/4 MN-1/2 N- 1/4, type H- 3/4 h-1/4
Type A with M antigen:
1/2*1/4*3/4 = 3/32
Type A with M and N antigens:
1/2*1/2*3/4 = 3/16
Type A with N antigen:
1/2*1/4*3/4 = 3/32
Type O with M antigen:
1/2*1/4*3/4= 3/32
Type O with M and N antigens:
1/2*1/2*3/4 = 3/16
Type O with N antigen:
1/2*1/4*3/4 = 3/32.
The 3/4 value comes from the expression of Hh-3/4 (this determines if the A and B Angie will be expressed).
Answer:
Simple cuboidal epithelia are found in areas that stretch.
Explanation:
The simple cuboidal epithelium consists of a single layer of cuboid cells with a centrally located nucleus. The cells of this epithelial tissue are mostly involved in secretion and absorption and therefore, are found in the lining of ovaries, lining of kidney tubules and gland ducts.
Transitional epithelium is like a stratified cuboidal epithelium when not stretched. Its cells become flatter when the tissue is stretched. It has multiple cell layers and elasticity and therefore, is found in the lining of the urinary bladder and parts of ureter and urethra to allow stretching of these organs.
