The correct answer is B). The potato cells lost water to the surroundings.

The salt water solution is hypertonic as compared to cell of a potato slice. In other words cells of potato slice is hypotonic to salt solution. Water always moves from hypotonic to hypertonic solution if they separated by semipermeable membrane. Thus, when potato slice is dipped into salt water, ex-osmosis that is water will move out of the potato slice into the salt solution. As a result into shrinking of potato slice.

Part A: If one follows 70 primary oocytes in an animal through their various stages of oogenesis, how many secondary oocytes wou
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

<u>Part A</u> : 70 secondary oocytes will be formed.

<u>Part B</u> : 70 first polar bodies will be formed.

<u>Part C</u> : 70 ootids will be formed.

Explanation:

During oogenesis growth maturation of a single oogonium produces one primary oogonium.

the primary oogonium then undergoes meiosis -1 and produces  one secondary oocyte and first polar body.

The secondary oocyte then undergoes meiosis - 2 and forms an ootid and second polar body.

The ootid then differentiates into the ovum.

As in the above scenario , 70 primary oocytes are present , they undergo meiosis-1 and produces 70 secondary oocytes and 70 first polar bodies. Hence answers of part A and B is 70.

As 70 secondary oocytes are formed , they undergo meiosis -2 and forms 70 ootids which then differentiate in 70 ovums.
