Answer:

The correct answers is: I would predict that animals with longer loops of Henle would be able to concentrate their urine more than animals with shorter loops, and thus they would more likely survive in desserts and other dry areas.

Explanation:

The<em> Loop of Henle</em> is a tubule system that connects the proximal convoluted tubule to the distal convoluted tubule in a nephron, the functional and structural unit of the kidney. Its primary job is to establish a concentration gradient in the kidney's medulla by creating a high urea concentration deep in the medulla using a countercurrent multiplier system that uses electrolyte pumps. Through this mechanism, <u><em>water is reabsorbed to concentrate the urine and impede dehydration</em></u>.

The length of the loops of Henle is of great importance for the countercurrent multiplier system - <u>the longer they are, the more concentrated the urine can get</u>. Therefore, animals with longer loops can survive better in habitats where there is not much water around.

Monkeys in the New World (the Americas) have prehensile tails, strong flexible tails that grip branches and operate much like an
Rudiy27

Answer:

The terms old world and the new world are used in the context of history and for the prime objective of differentiating the major ecozones found on the planet. This also helps in categorizing various species of plants and animals that originated in different places and times.  

In terms of old and new, Old World signifies to Asia, Europe, and Africa, on the other hand, the New World signifies towards the Americas that comprise South America, North America, and Central America. The New World monkeys possess prehensile tails, while the Old World monkeys don't. This suggests that the prehensile tail originated in the monkeys found in the New World, primarily after the separation of the Americas from Asia and Africa.

astraxan [27]
If B and b are the two alleles , B + b = 1 and B ^2 +2 Bb + b ^2 = 1.

If 16% of mice are homozygous black , B ^ 2 =0 .16, meaning B = 0 .4 and b = 1 - 0. 4 = 0 .6 .
Answer = Notice how you don't even need to know that 24% of the mice are heterozygous .
