If the potato slice becomes soft and limp after soaking for one hour in the solution, the solution is hypertonic.

<h3>What is a hypertonic solution?</h3>

In biology, a hypertonic solution is a solution with more solute concentration than it is found in the sap of any other cell placed in it.

Such solutions have lower water potential than the cells placed in them. Thus, water will readily move by osmosis from the sap of the cells into the solution.

Cells that are placed in hypertonic solutions, therefore, usually end up becoming flaccid as a result of water loss.

So, if after soaking for one hour in a solution whose concentration is not known, a slice of potato becomes soft and limp, it means the solution is hypertonic.

What are the 3 laws of inheritance?
nikdorinn [45]

The three laws of inheritance are :

Law of Dominance. Law of Segregation. Law of Independent Assortment.

what is law of dominance?

First, according to the Law of Dominance and Uniformity, some alleles—variants of a specific gene located at the same chromosomal locus or location—are dominant over other alleles for that gene.

As it relates to genetics, the term "inherited" describes a feature or variation that is encoded in DNA and passed from parent to child during reproduction. The laws of Mendelian genetics govern inheritance. A will needs to be admitted to probate in order for the inheritance procedure to start. The probate court examines the will, approves an executor, and formally distributes assets to recipients in accordance with the terms. The executor will pay off any outstanding obligations of the deceased prior to the transfer

sladkih [1.3K]
D. Dominant

It is dominant as...
The white coat alleles are recessive, meaning the black coat would most likely be dominant alleles. Assuming the black coated dog had the alleles of BB, and the white coated dog had the alleles ww, there would be a 100% chance that the offspring would have Bw alleles, where the black coat is dominant, "all the offspring were black". 
B = Black, W = White
      B    B
w   Bw  Bw
w   Bw  Bw
The diagram above shows that the offspring would be 100% black coated.

Not sure if you wanted an explanation, but I tried.

notsponge [240]

Answer:

the cell will lose water

the cell is in a hypertonic solution

Explanation:

The solution is hypertonic while the cell is hypotonic. The cell will lose water to the solution since there are more solutes in the solution compared to the cell. Water moves to solution through osmosis. After osmosis occurs, the condition becomes isotonic.
