Answer:
The above paragraphs describes that how salt- and fresh-water fish regulates their osmoregulation. Hence, the correct answer would be c. have adapted to deal with osmosis.
Osmosis is the process by which solvent's molecule move from region of low concentration (hypo-tonic) to the region of high concentration (hyper-tonic) through a semi-permeable membrane.
In sea-water fishes, the body fluids are hypo-tonic to the surrounding water and thus water is kept moving out of their gills. In order to prevent the excess water loss they need to drink water constantly and excrete concentrated urine.
In contrast, fresh-water fishes body fluids are hyper-tonic to surrounding water and hence, water keeps entering in their body through gills. So, in order to prevent excess dilution they absorb salt from surrounding with the help of gills and also their bodies reabsorb salt from urine.
Answer:
i might be wrong but i would go with cell wall
Explanation:
<span> (1) gene frequencies may be changed by migration, gene flow from another population. (2) in small populations, gene frequencies can be changed via random sampling -- this is known as genetic drift. (3) mutation pressure and (4) non-Mendelian segregation (meiotic drive) may also change gene pools. However, by far the most important agent of evolution is (5) natural selection, which operates by </span>differential reproductive success<span> of individuals.
