Most land vertebrates can't drink seawater becausea. their kidneys can't excrete concentrated salt.
b. less water would need to be excreted by the kidneys.
c. they don't have kidneys.
d. their cells would eventually swell.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:


The best answer is A.

Unlike marine animals such as fish, land vertebrates do not have mechanisms to excrete high salt content. Their excretory organs namely the kidneys are not designed to handle concentrated salt content.

 Therefore if high  salt  content is retained in the body, then osmotic imbalance in cells of land vertebrates would  occur with the cells losing water because they would be hypotonic to their immediate surrounding and eventually die.

Marine fish are able to maintain osmotic balance in the sea water because they have specialized cells in their gills that actively eliminate salt and these fishes do not absorb any salt from the water they drink.

Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive disorder (Xh) that is passed through generations and can be traced by using a pedigree. How high or low is the probabilty that a female child of Charles and Marie would suffer from hemophilia? A. 0 percent B. 25 percent C. 50 percent D. 100 percent

Answers

Without a pedigree chart, it is not possible to answer this question. However, given this is a HS bio class question, they are probably looking for the simplistic answer "A", zero percent, based on the erroneous notion that women cannot have hemophilia. Women carriers of a defective gene coding for hemophilia frequently do themselves have mild or moderate hemophilia and, in very rare cases, severe hemophilia.
