ANS: D
During embryologic development, the ureteric duct grows into the metanephric tissue, triggering the formation of the kidneys. If this growth does not occur, the kidney is absent, a condition called renal aplasia. Renal dysplasia usually results from abnormal differentiation of the renal tis-sues. Renal agenesis is the absence of one or both kidneys. Hypoplastic kidney is small with a decreased number of nephrons.
