Answer:

Pumps, also called transporters, are transmembrane proteins that actively move ions and/or solutes against a concentration or electrochemical gradient across biological membranes. One moves with the concentration gradient (high to low) which powers the movement of the other against the gradient (low to high).

IrinaK [193]

Answer;

The offsprings will be such that , a normal vision female, a heterozygous female, normal male and a colorblind male.

Explanation;

-Most X-linked traits in humans are recessive. One example of an X-linked trait is red-green colorblindness. Let (Xc) represent the recessive allele that causes colorblindness and (XC) represent the normal dominant allele. Females that are XCXC or XCXc have normal color vision, while XcXc females are colorblind. For males with; XcY are color blind, while those with XCY are have normal color vision.

Heterozygous female, XcXC

Normal male, XCY

The offspring of the parents, XcXC x XCY, are: XcXC (heterozygous female), XCXC( normal vision female), XCY (normal vision male), XcY (color blind male).

Explain how the use of genetically engineered products can affect the economy and society.
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

due to gmos we can expand the shelf life of many of our foods and prevent them from the harm of pests. You night be rhinking why not use pesticides? well, we did but eventually the pests became immune to the low dose of pesticide. over time we gradually increased our uses of pesticides. more commonly round up. this pesticide specifically was known for being a carcinogen. (something that causes cancer.) Genetically modifying a crop can severely decrease the amount of pesticides used for our crops and could also potentially drop the prices. for example, in hawaii during the 1940s to 1990s the ringspot viruses hit the hawaiian papaya harvest hard. this reduced the amount of papaya produced by 50 percent by 1993 and 2006. the ringspot virus nearly wiped out the entire crop. within 11 months, the hawaiian papya was saved. due to gmos of course. this is because scientists took genes from immune papayas which very rarelt occured (at the time) and injected it into many other papya plants. as the plants grew, new papaya was produced which was immine to ringspit virus. PAPAYA WAS SAVED!!!!

s2008m [1.1K]
The correct answer is "a steroid hormone that reduces the amount of fluid excreted in the urine".
Aldosterone is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal gland, whose main function is the homeostatic regulation of the blood pressure, plasma sodium, and plasma potassium levels.
Aldosterone's main mechanism of action is to regulate the reabsorption of sodium and excretion of potassium in the kidney, which in turn influences the retention of water and the volume and pressure of the blood. Based on all this, aldosterone reduces the amount of fluid excreted in the urine.
