Lymphedema is caused by an excess of lymph in the body tissues. The condition is common after surgery when lymph nodes have been removed or damaged. Symptoms can be temporary or lifelong. Explain why damage to or the removal of the lymph nodes cause the symptoms you see in the image.

In eukaryotes, genetic information is passed to the next generation by processes that include mitosis or meiosis. which of the explanations identifies the correct process and supports the claim that heritable information is passed from one generation to another? a. mitosis, followed by cytokinesis, produces daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell, thus insuring variation within the population. b. during mitosis, dna replication occurs twice within the cell cycle to insure a full set of chromosomes within each of the daughter cells produced. c. in asexual reproduction, a single individual is the sole parent and passes copies of its genes to its offspring without the fusion of gametes. d. single-celled organisms can fuse their cells, reproducing asexually through mitosis to form new cells that are not identical to the parent cell.

Determine if the following statement is true or false. if true, choose true. if false, choose the rewording that is true. according to the law of independent assortment, alleles for each gene are inherited together so that they always stay together. according to the law of independent assortment, offspring express a combination of their parents' traits. according to the law of independent assortment, alleles for a characteristic split during meiosis and combine during fertilization. true according to the law of independent assortment, alleles for each gene are inherited independently so that no two alleles stay together.

The kidney filters potentially toxic substances in the blood, and thus “clears” the blood of those substances. this clearance function is dependent upon and proportional to the diffusion gradient of the substance across filtering capillaries, i.e. if the concentration of the substance is doubled, twice as much will be cleared from each ml of blood that is filtered. suppose that the body produces a constant amount of a substance x per unit of time. the kidneys eliminate substance x at a rate directly proportional to the concentration of the substance and the volume of blood cleared each minute (c): elimination = c × [x], where [x] is the steady-state concentration of substance x. imagine an individual with an initial concentration of x equal to [x]0 who develops kidney disease. her baseline clearance c0 drops to one half of the original (½c0). what is the new steady state concentration of x? (for simplicity, assume that substance x is 100% filtered by the kidney).
