Answer:
(B) HEK cells exposed to the most hypotonic conditions will display the greatest degree of AQP5 membrane localization, allowing water to flow into the cells.
Explanation:
The function of AQP5 (an aquaporin) is to allow the water to move into or out of the cell down the concentration gradient. When placed in hypotonic solutions, the internal environment of HEK cells will be hypertonic. Water always moves from hypotonic (higher water concentration) to hypertonic (lower water concentration) solution.
Hence, the HEK cells exposed to the hypotonic conditions will localize AQP5 in their membranes to allow the water to move from out hypotonic conditions to the inner hypertonic environment.
Analogous structures have a different evolutionary ancestries but they have the same function
while homologous structures are the opposite; they have similar ancestries and common traits but maybe not have the same function in an organism
In a cladogram, when does a group of organisms branch off? when a new trait evolves when an ancestor becomes extinct when it is discovered when it becomes large enough
Answer:
<u>Mutations</u>
Explanation:
The answer is mutations because it is the one process that leads to new lifeforms evolving!
