How is tonicity affected by solutes?

Biology
1 answer:
zloy xaker [14]3 years ago
4 0

Unlike osmotic pressure, tonicity is influenced only by solutes that cannot cross the membrane, as only these exert an effective osmotic pressure. Solutes able to freely cross the membrane do not affect tonicity because they will always equilibrate with equal concentrations on both sides of the membrane without net solvent movement.

Based on the diagram below, which part of an atom has the greatest mass?
Juli2301 [7.4K]
The nucleus will have the greatest mass. Among the 3 kinds of subatomic particles, electrons are the lightest (by several orders of magnitude), protons and neutrons are much closer is magnitude, though neutrons are slightly heavier. However, in the diagram, the nucleus contains both the neutrons and the protons, so its combined mass would be heavier than either the neutrons alone or the protons alone.

Complete question:

17. In the 1950’s a young woman sued film star/director Charlie Chaplin for parental support of  her illegitimate child. Charlie Chaplin’s blood type was already on record as type  AB. The mother of the child had type A (AO) and her son had type O blood (OO).

a. Complete a Punnett square for the possible  cross of Charlie and the mother.

b. The judge ruled in favor of the mother and ordered Charlie Chaplin to pay child  support costs of the child. Was the judge correct in his decision based on blood typing  evidence? Explain why or why not. *refer to any Punnett squares to support your answer.

Answer:

The judge committed a mistake in his decision. There are <u>no chances</u> for this couple to have a child who has 0 blood type.

Explanation:

<u>Available data:</u>

  • Charlie Chaplin’s blood type was AB
  • The mother of the child had type A (AO)
  • The son had type O blood (OO).

Cross: Charlie Chaplin x The Woman

Parental)    IAIB    x    IAi

Gametes) IA   IB       IA     i

Punnett square)    IA          IB

                      IA   IAIA      IAIB

                        i    IAi        IBi

F1)  1/4 = 25% of the progeny would have IAIA genotype, blood type A

      1/4 = 25% of the progeny would have IAi genotype, blood type A

      1/4 = 25% of the progeny would have IAIB genotype, blood type AB

      1/4 = 25% of the progeny wouldl have IBi genotype, blood type B

According to the results of the cross observed in the Punnett square, there are no chances for this couple to have a child who has 0 blood type.

Blood type 0 can only be produced by two recessive alleles i, one inherited from each parent. The mother could provide the recessive allele because she is IBi, but Chaplin could not pass to his progeny any recessive allele.

The judge committed a mistake in his decision.

This subcellular structure functions to modify gene expression products before they are shuttled out of the cell via exocytosis.
Over [174]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- Golgi apparatus

Explanation:

The proteins are synthesized in the ribosomes whether they are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum or free. These synthesized proteins enter the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum where they get packaged to go to Golgi apparatus.

The Golgi apparatus is the site of post-translational modification of the secreted proteins like ubiquitination, acetylation, phosphorylation and many others.

Thus, the Golgi apparatus is the correct answer.
