Question
Chapter 14, Problem 8AAE
Summary Introduction
To determine: The resultant of the aldosterone secretion when the person goes on a low-sodium diet.
Introduction: Kidney is an essential excretory organ, and a nephron is the basic unit of the kidney. Aldosterone is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal cortex, and its function is homeostatic regulation of serum sodium levels. Aldosterone is a part of the major homeostatic feedback system and the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system.

The Snapdragon is a popular garden flower that comes in a variety of colours, including red, yellow, and orange. The genotypes and associated phenotypes for some of these flowers are as follows:
aabb: yellow
AABB, AABb, AaBb, and AaBB: red
AAbb and Aabb: orange
aaBB: yellow
aaBb: ?
Based on this information, what would the phenotype of a Snapdragon with the genotype aaBb be and why?

- Which ONE of the following is FALSE regarding haemoglobin? It has two alpha subunits and two beta subunits. The subunits are joined by disulphide bonds. Each subunit covalently binds a haem group. Conformational change in one subunit can be transmitted to another. There are many variant ("mutant") forms of haemoglobin that are not harmful.arrow_forwardWhich ONE of the following is FALSE regarding haemoglobin? It has two alpha subunits and two beta subunits.
