Match each region of the nephron to its description. 65-70% of the water in the glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed into the blood here answer 1 region composed of a descending limb that is permeable to water and an ascending limb that is impermeable to water answer 2 region where blood plasma fluid is filtered from the blood into the nephron answer 3 adh increases the permeability of the cells of this region to water answer 4 region where fluids are transported to the collecting duct; active reabsorption of salt occurs here answer 5

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.

Sexual reproduction in the parent cell will result in offspring with a) identical genetic information. b) half the genetic information. c) double the genetic information. d) four times the genetic information.
