<span>True. Sphagnum is a genus of mosses that can retain large amounts of water within their cells, due to the presence of pores in cells that can rapidly absorb water through their pores. The acidic water and the lack of oxygen cause the Sphagnum to decompose slowly, producing the accumulation of dead tissue, which can form a mantle from 1 to 9 m deep.</span>
Answer:
Erythrocytes, or red blood cells, are by far the predominant cell type in the blood smear. They appear as biconcave discs of uniform shape and size (7.2 microns) that lack organelles and granules. Red blood cells have a characteristic pink appearance due to their high content of haemoglobin.
The environment and the inside of the cell will have the same concentration. If the cell is placed in a solution of a less sucrose solution, the water will get into the cell making it bigger in size. The movement of the water is from a portion of lower concentration to a portion of higher sucrose concentration.
The chance that the child produced would have nail-patella syndrome from this mating is 1/8 (12.5%) and the chance that the child has alkaptonuria is zero (0%). It is a case of recessive phenotypes.
<h3>Pedigree and genetic inheritance</h3>
The answer is incomplete, but I have now included the Figure to answer it. The vertical lines indicate nail-patella syndrome, while horizontal lines indicate alkaptonuria.
Pedigree is a diagram showing the genealogical relationships in different individuals, which is usually used to represent the inheritance pattern of a given phenotype.
In this case, the nail-patella syndrome and alkaptonuria are recessive phenotypes, which means that individuals may be heterozygous carriers but they need to have both mutated alleles to express each condition.
In the pedigree, it is possible to observe that the individual IV5 expresses both syndromes (nail-patella syndrome and alkaptonuria), whereas there is a 1/8 chance that the individual IV2 is a carrier of the nail-patella syndrome.
