What are the adaptations of the distal convoluted tubule of kidney nephron?

The distal convoluted tubule (DCT) of the kidney nephron is adapted for selective reabsorption and secretion. It has a relatively high surface area due to its microvilli, which enhance the absorption of ions such as sodium and calcium. The DCT is also rich in mitochondria, providing the energy necessary for active transport processes. Additionally, it is responsive to hormones like aldosterone, which regulates sodium reabsorption and potassium excretion, playing a crucial role in fluid and electrolyte balance.


Selective breeding as practiced by farmers is also called natural selectiontrue or false?

False. Selective breeding, practiced by farmers, involves intentionally choosing specific individuals with desired traits for breeding purposes. Natural selection, on the other hand, refers to the process by which organisms best adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce, leading to evolutionary changes over time.


What is a selective advantage and how does it contribute to the survival and evolution of a species?

A selective advantage is a trait or characteristic that gives an organism a better chance of surviving and reproducing in its environment. This advantage allows the organism to pass on its genes to the next generation, increasing the likelihood of those genes being present in future populations. Over time, these advantageous traits can accumulate through natural selection, leading to the evolution of a species that is better adapted to its environment.
