Chapter 36, Problem 1TC

High blood pressure often is accompanied by kidney damage. In some people, the kidney is subsequent to the high blood pressure, but in others the kidney damage is the cause of the high blood pressure. Explain how a bow-salt would enableyou to determine whether the high blood pressure the key damage came first.

Expert Solution & Answer

Summary Introduction

To determine:

If a low salt diet would enable in determining whether the high blood pressure or kidney damage came first.

Introduction:

Aldosterone is released by the adrenal cortex and it is responsible for sodium, chloride, potassium (electrolytes) and fluid balance in the body. Aldosterone is also known as mineralocorticoid hormone, as it regulates the mineral concentration in the body.

Explanation of Solution

Aldosterone releases from adrenal cortex in response to low blood pressure and is responsible for balancing the mineral concentration in the body. The secretion of aldosterone is controlled by two mechanisms; by changing the concentration of sodium-potassium ion in blood plasma, and by rennin-angiotensin mechanism.

If an individual is feeding on low salt diet, and do not have high blood pressure, shows that the renin is released in response to aldosterone which regulate the blood pressure and that the kidney is not damaged. If the same individual shows high blood pressure, it means only aldosterone is released from kidney and not renin, which increases the blood pressure and does not regulate it, this indicates that kidney is damaged.

Conclusion

Low salt diet enables any individual to observe whether the kidney damage or the high blood pressure came first.

Your goal is to produce black seeds resistant to mold. So you make the same cross again (between a homozygous black seeded, mold susceptible parent and a homozygous white seeded and mold resistant parent), and, again, advance progeny by SSD to create 100 F10 generation plants.   Based on the information you obtained from your first crossing experiment (Question #4), how many F10 plants would you expect to have black seeds and be resistant to mold? Assume that a toxin produced by the mold fungus has been isolated. Only mold resistant seeds will germinate in the presence of the toxin. Could you use this toxin screening procedure to have segregation distortion work in your favor in the F2 generation? Explain your answer. Info from Question 4 a. P Locus (Seed Color): Hypothesis: The null hypothesis (H₀) is that seed color is controlled by alleles at a single locus. Observed Data: Total white seeds: 45 (resistant plants) + 6 (susceptible plants) = 51 Total black seeds: 7 (resistant…

Using Punnett Squares Punnett squares are one good way to predict the outcome of genetic crosses. Punnett squares use mathematical probability to help predict the genotype and phenotype combinations in genetic crosses. The number of possible alleles from each parent determines the number of rows and columns in the Punnett square. Independent Assortment KEY QUESTION How do alleles segregate when more than one gene is involved? Mendel wondered if the segregation of one pair of alleles affects another pair. For example, does the gene that determines the shape of a seed affect the gene for seed color? This type of experiment is known as a two-factor, or dihybrid, cross because it involves two different genes. Single-gene crosses are monohybrid crosses. Visual Reading Tool: Two-Factor Cross: F₂ The Punnett square shows the results of self-crossing the F, generation of a cross between round yellow peas and wrinkled green peas. 1. List the different genotypes in the F, generation. What is the…
