Explain the mechanism maintaining osmotic gradient in renal medullary intestitium​

Biology

In the inner medullary collecting ducts it increases both water and urea permeability, which allows urea to flow passively down its concentration gradient into the interstitial fluid. This adds to the osmotic gradient and helps drive water reabsorption.

<em>In the inner medulla, urea recirculates, creating a greater osmotic gradient. It follows the concentration gradient formed by ADH-sensitive water reabsorption into the interstitial space from the collecting duct. The remaining water is drawn from the descending structures by increased interstitial osmolarity. </em>

<em></em>

<em>To maintain the vertical osmotic gradient, the blood supply to the renal medulla serves as a countercurrent exchanger. - The medullary vertical osmotic gradient is maintained by the vasa recta.</em>

<em></em>

<em>It enhances both water and urea permeability in the inner medullary collecting ducts, allowing urea to diffuse passively down its concentration gradient into the interstitial fluid. This contributes to the osmotic gradient and aids water absorption.</em>

What genetic variation has occurred in the picture below where a black bunny and a white bunny have an offspring that shows both
Softa [21]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is B which is codominance.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • One allele of a gene for a trait can be dominant or recessive according to the simple genetic phenomenon.
  • But there are some exceptions Like both allele can express them dominantly producing an offspring having both forms of that trait.
  • While in incomplete dominance, dominant allele is unable to expresses itself completely and a phenotype between dominant and recessive trait is produced.
  • Hence in the problem, offspring have both colors of fur from two parents, so it is codominance.
