<span>Tonicity is the measure or amount of the osmotic pressure gradient.
Osmotic pressure is defined as the amount of external pressure that is required to stop the net movement of the solution across the semi permeable membrane. In terms of biology, osmosis has great importance as most of the membranes in our body are semi permeable. Permeability depends on several factors such as charge, solubility, solute size and chemistry. Osmosis is the process that provides the primary means through which water travels in and out of the cells.</span>

How does the process of natural selection work?

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

If I am correct it is when the weaker individuals or mutated individuals are killed of by other predators or by nature. Because they cannot survive this is natural selection because they are killed of by nature. Then if they are weak their species will go extinct, thus they are naturally selected to die and only the strong species remain.

frez [133]

Answer:

Explanation:

The higher temperature is the factor which is responsible for the process of denaturation of proteins in which the breaking down of hydrogen, disulphide bonds and destabilization occurs. This process breaks up the bond between the polypeptides.

The bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor comprises of 58 amino acids this consists of the disulphide bonds which are destroyed on heating as a result of this the inhibitor becomes inactive. But on cooling it comes to the original form as the internal structure starts making hydrogen and disulphide bonds again. Thus the activity of the BPTI again gets restored.

The Champaign-Urbana area has long been suffering from the heinous pathogenic bacterium, Michiganious wolverinous, which causes

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a, that is, 3000 cases.

Explanation:

The measurement of all the individuals getting influenced by the disease at a specific time is known as the prevalence. On the other hand, the measurement of the number of novel individuals that came into contact with a disease during a specific time duration is known as the incidence.

Based on the given question, the number of prevailing cases carried from 2018 to 2019 is 2000, and the new diseases recorded in the year 2019 is 1000 (incidence). Therefore, the prevalence of the disease in 2020 will be 3000 cases.

Which type of RNA carries a genetic code from DNA to the ribosome?

Aliun [14]

Answer:

(A). mRNA.

Explanation:

During protein synthesis, information present in DNA as triplet codons gets transferred to mRNA molecule, by the process of transcription. The mRNA than gets transported to the cytosol, where it associates with ribosomes.

Ribosomes are known as protein factories of the cells as they provide platform for translation. During translation, information present in mRNA is used to translate polypeptide chain or protein as each codon codes for a specific amino acid.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
