Answer:

Minivalves

Explanation:

Lymphatic capillaries are so much permeable that some researchers thought that they are open from one side but scientists found that this permeability is due to some structural modification.

The endothelial cell that forms the lymphatic capillaries wall are not packed tightly and overlap each other very loosely which makes easy openings in the structure called mini valves.

When the pressure of fluid in interstitial space is high then the mini valves become open and allow the fluid to enter the lymphatic capillary. So mini valves are the unique structural modification that increases permeability in lymphatic capillaries.

asambeis [7]

Answer:

The regular cells of the body tend to divide through the process of mitosis. However, the sex cells of the body divide through the process of meiosis.

In the process of mitosis, two daughter cells are formed which are identical to the parent cell and are diploid.

In the process of meiosis, four daughter cells are formed which are haploid and carry half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Now suppose a stream has a high volume but a low gradient. How might the
Alecsey [184]

The stream has a high volume but a low gradient will run through small rocks and small valley. It slowly runs all over the area. Even though it is low gradient its volume is high so it craves the area and then it changes the land.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Low gradient streams are less forced but it is wider as it slowly flows through the land. As it is separated from the high gradient stream.
  • Then it finds its path and creates it. It will slowly eradicate the soil or land or rock which present in its path.
  • Day by day the flow of large quantity of water will change the position of the land.
  • Before reaching the sea, it will cover up the river.
