Answer 2

The correct answer is OPTION 3: The functional unit of the kidney that performs the basic function of filtration is called Nephron.

• A nephron is a structure that generates urine in the process of removing waste and excess substances from the circulation.
• Around 1,000,000 nephrons are found in each human kidney.
• Primitive fish kidneys, pronephros, amphibian larvae, and embryos of more advanced vertebrates contain the most primitive nephrons.
• The nephrons found in the kidneys of amphibians and most fish, as well as the mesonephros in the late embryonic development of more sophisticated vertebrates, are only slightly more advanced in structure.
• Land vertebrates, such as reptiles, birds, and mammals, have the most mature nephrons in their adult kidneys, or metanephros.
