Answer:
D
Explanation:
The presence of homeotic genes shows that all of the listed organisms (mice, flies, humans etc) all evolved from a common ancestor.
(A) is wrong as the evidence of the same gene existing in vastly different species shows the evolutionary relationship between these organisms.
(B) is wrong as there is insufficient evidence to prove that flies are the precessor of humans. We do know that flies and humans have evolved from a common ancestor though.
(C) is non-conclusive as the passage said nothing about the gene allowing the species to have a higher chance of surviving and reproducing. Hence, an errornous claim.
(D) is the correct answer as from a common ancestor, all of the listed organisms undergo and accumulates mutation, undergoes selective pressures that resulted in divergent evolution (aka branching evolution that results in many noval species forming) after millions of years.
<h2>GFR </h2>
Explanation:
A decrease in GFR will cause lower Na and Cl ion concentration in the distal tubule
- GFR stands for Glomerular Filtration Rate
- The rate at which kidneys filter blood is called the glomerular filtration rate
- The main driving force for the filtering process, or outward pressure is the blood pressure as it enters the glomerulus which is counteracted to some extent by inward pressure due to the hydrostatic pressure of the fluid within the urinary space, and the pressure generated by the proteins left in the capillaries that tend to pull water back into the circulatory system (colloidal osmotic pressure)
- The net filtration pressure is the outward pressure minus the inward pressure
The question is incomplete and the complete question is
Suppose that ear length in rabbits is controlled by two additive genes, each of which has two alleles. A true-breeding female (aabb) with 6-cm ears is mated to a true-breeding male (AABB) with 16-cm ears.
Answer:
AABb or AaBB
Explanation:
We know that,
aabb genotype - 6 cm
AABB genotype- 16-cm
To calculate the length of earlobe contributed by each allele in a genotype is :
1. length of aabb/4 or 6/4= 1.5 cm (a and b contribute for 1.5 cm each)
2. Length of AABB/4 or 16/4= 4 cm (A and B contribute for 4 cm each)
Now to have the earlobe to be 13.5 cm long then the genotype must be
13.5 = 4+4+4+1.5 or A+A+B+b or A+a+B+B
Therefore, the genotype will be-either AABb or AaBB
The volume of a can can be determined by the equation
Volume = Area x Height
Volume = 40cm^2 x 12cm = 480cm^3
