Prior to the invention of refrigeration, meat was often preserved by soaking it in brine (a solution of water with a high concen

tration of salt) to kill any microorganisms that might have tried to use the meat as their own food source. Which of the following BEST explains how a brine solution could be lethal to those microorganisms? Water would move into the cells of the microorganisms by osmosis causing it to swell and burst. The salt would move into the cells of the microorganisms by facilitated diffusion causing the membrane to become rigid and less permeable. The salt would be pulled from the cells of the microorganisms by active transport removing necessary nutrients and destroying the cells. Water would move out of the cells of the microorganisms by osmosis and the cytoplasm would become dehydrated, killing the cells.

Water would move out of the cells of the microorganisms by osmosis and the cytoplasm would become dehydrated, killing the cells.
The brine is a hypertonic solution, thereby "pulling" the water out of the bacterial cells.

"a man with genotype bb and a woman wth genotype BB have four children. how many of the children are likely to have blue eyes"
Sonja [21]

Answer:

No children will have blue eyes all of them carry brown eyes only.

Explanation:

The cross between a male with bb genotype and female with BB genotype will be as follows :

The gametes will be formed

male: b and b

female: B and B

By Punnett square:

        B          B

b       Bb        Bb

b       Bb        Bb

As all the offspring will have a heterozygous condition with dominant B (Brown) and recessive b( blue) so there are no offspring will be with the phenotype of the blue eyes.

If chemical signals in the cytoplasm control the progression of a cell to the M phase of the cell ith a cell in early M phase wo
Jlenok [28]

Answer: The correct answer is D

Explanation:

As long the progression of the cell to the M phase of the cell cycle is controlled by the chemical signals in the cytoplasm, then a cell in early M phase fused with a cell in G1 would result in the chromatin in prep of nuclear division in both cells to be condensed.

Question 15
Otrada [13]

Answer:

vitamin A

Explanation:

Vitamin A is nonpolar and would not dissolve in water. This is an unsaturated nutritional compound that can help your body grow and make your eyesight improve. However, it can't dissolve in water because it is known as a fat soluble vitamin, not a water soluble vitamin. Therefore, it does not dissolve in water.

What would happen if interphase didn't occur first ?
adoni [48]
The cell would never be able to be in a the stage of the cell cycle where it is just doing its job (which would depend on its specialization). The other phases are all dedicated to replicating (dividing) the cell from one to two cells. Interphase allows the cell time to just preform the job (function) it was created to do.
