Nephrons are the filtering structures of the kidneys. The
kidneys contain millions and millions of these tiny filtering structures that
are responsible for cleaning the blood. Nephrons are responsible for removing
excess water, wastes, and other substances in the blood that are not needed by
the body. They also return necessary substances (e.g. sodium, potassium,
phosphorus) whenever the body runs low in supply.
If these nephrons are damaged, blood will not be properly
filtered. As a result, the kidney will have different diseases and this might
lead to kidney and multiple organ failure.

Answer
Environmental pressures
Basically every animal adapts to pressures from their environment in different ways, causing them to have different shapes and sizes
It is true.
<h3>What is isotonic medium?</h3>
- A solution that has the same amount of salt as cells and blood. In hospitalized patients, isotonic solutions are routinely utilized as intravenous fluids.
- When a cell is immersed in an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water into or out of the cell, and the volume of the cell remains constant.
- Isotonic solutions include 0.9% normal saline and lactated ringers. A hypertonic solution is one that has a greater solute concentration than the solution across the semi-permeable barrier.
- The isotonic solution allows the cells to move water and nutrients in and out of the cells. This is necessary for the blood cells to perform their function of supplying oxygen and other nutrients to other parts of the body.

Answer:
b: 8;8
Explanation:
Mitotic or meiotic cell division constitute the m phase of the cell cycle. At the end of the m phase, the new cells enter the interphase stage of the cell cycle. The interphase is further sub-divided into;
- <em>the
phase,</em> - <em>the
phase,</em> - <em>the S phase; and</em>
- <em>the
phase</em>.
The phase is essentially a resting phase. Cells that do not need to divide except when necessary move into this phase after exiting the m phase.
Actively dividing cells enter the phase after exiting the m phase. Cell development and growth takes place. From there, the cells enter the S phase where DNA replication/synthesis takes place. The cells then enter the phase where proteins are synthesized in preparation for division or m phase.
At the S phase, the amount of DNA a cell carries is doubled but the chromosome number remains the same. For example, if a cell enters the S phase with 2 g of DNA containing 10 chromosomes, at the end of S phase, the amount of DNA would have come 4 g while the number of chromosomes will remain 10.
Hence, if the average amount of DNA in the assayed cells immediately after mitosis is 4 picograms, the amount would be 8 picograms at the end of S phase and will still remains 8 picograms at the end of phase.
The correct option is b.
You don't show the table...but you should see that the more complex an organism, the more chromosomes and the more genes it has.
A bacteria has a small genome. perhaps it has about 5000 genes. it also has 1 chromosome.
Yeast are more complicated than bacteria. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (the yeast that makes beer, wine and bread, has about 6300 genes and 16 chromosomes.
A human has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), and has likely around 20,000 genes.
