When two solvents are seperated by a semi premamble membrane, water flows

Biology

Water flows from the side of higher water potential (higher water concentration leads to higher water potential) to the side of lower water potential. 

This movement is called osmosis. Water potential means the tendency of water flowing away. The higher the water concentration the solvent/solution is, the higher the water potential is and the more likely it'll flow to the other side. 

Therefore, if one of the solvents has 10% water and the other has 50% water, water molecules will flow from the one with 50% water to the 10% one. This movement is completely natural and does not require extra energy. The net flow will stop until both sides have the same water concentration. Water still flows through both sides at that time, but no net flow. 

Note that osmosis is only the movement of water molecules, with the presence of semi-permeable membrane (which can decide what substances can go through), and the flow of down the water potential gradient. If any one of these is not applicable, the movement is not osmosis.

What is the probability that the first offspring from the cross listed below will be heterozygous for all loci?
Tanya [424]

Answer and Explanation:

<u>Cross:</u> aa Bb dd Ee x AA bb Dd Ee

We can calculate the probability of getting heterozygous individuals in the progeny by using the <u>product rule</u>. Assuming that these four genes <u>assort independently</u> (<em>events that occur independently from each other</em>), we can infer that the F1 will have the next genotypic proportions for each gene:

1) aa     x     AA

F1) 4/4=1 Aa

2) Bb    x    bb

F1) ½ bb

     ½ Bb

3) dd    x    Dd

F1) ½ dd

     ½ Dd

4) Ee    x    Ee

F1) ¼ EE

    2/4 = ½ Ee

     ¼ ee

So, to know what the probability is that the F1 of being heterozygous for all loci, we must multiply the respective individual probabilities of getting a heterozygous genotype, like this:  

1 Aa   x   ½ Bb   x    ½ Dd    x    ½ Ee = 1/8 AaBbDdEe

Help please? what traits do all organisms with no internal thermoregulation have?
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The answer to the question is C ectothermy

Explanation:

The answer to the question is C ectothermy

The traits which all organisms with no internal thermoregulation have are called an Ectothermy. Ectothermy is an organism in which the inner behavioral heat sources are significant in the regulation of body temperature. This organism depends on their ecological heats source, which allows them to work at an efficient rate. Some of this organism stays in an area where temperatures are nearly constant.
