Answer:

Two cell divisions after DNA replication

Explanation:

After the DNA is replicated, the cell undergoes two rounds of meiosis to produce 4 cells, each wIth 23 chromosomes. This is how the cell goes from a diploid to a haploid state.

Alex

Answer:

I assume you are referring to bees?

Explanation:

From what I know and this is just surface level knowledge, she is the one who births the hive and usually designates their purpose once she has laid the eggs. She herself does not do much, she is just the one that the infrastructure of the hive follows in maintaining the hive itself. I hope this helps. Good luck!

Answer:

It is pertinent to understand what hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solution means before setting out to explain how a cell reaches equilibrium in each type of solution.

A hypertonic solution is one whose solute concentration is higher than that of the sap of a cell that is immersed in it.

A hypotonic solution is one with the same solute concentration as that of the sap of the cell immersed in it.

An isotonic solution has a lower solute concentration than that of the sap of the cell immersed in it.

In biological systems, water molecules move by osmosis from the region of higher water potential or lower concentration of solutes to the region of lower water potential or higher concentration of solute. An equilibrium is reached when there is no net movement of water between two sides. Hence;

A cell placed in a hypertonic solution will lose water to the surrounding solution until an equilibrium is reached. This means that such a cell will end up shrinking (wilting) or even dying due to loss of water from the cell sap.

A cell placed in a hypotonic solution will gain water from the surrounding solution until there is no net movement of water anymore. Such a cell might become turgid or even burst out its cell content.

A cell placed in an isotonic solution will neither gain nor lose water because the cell sap and the surrounding solution have equal solute concentrations.
