Answer: Water moves into and out of cells by osmosis. If a cell is in a hypertonic solution, the solution has a lower water concentration than the cell cytosol, and water moves out of the cell until both solutions are isotonic.
Answer: salt intake increases the sodium level in the blood and will make the body retain excess water thereby giving the heart more work to do.
Explanation: Eating salt increases the quantity of sodium in blood and it creates an imbalance in the sodium and potassium levels. The high level of salt reduces the ability of the kidneys to excrete water. Too much sodium increases blood pressure because it holds excess fluid in the body and that results to an added burden on the heart. Excess sodium intake will increase risk of osteoporosis, stomach cancer, stroke, heart failure and kidney disease.
The result is a higher blood pressure due to the fact that the body will have the tendency of retaining more fluids because of the excess salt.
Answer:
If the father has the same recessive allele.
The food chain for the owl as secondary consumer would be grasses, mouse, owl. The food chain for the owl being tertiary consumer would be grasses, grasshopper, frog, owl.
Answer:
The fragment and plasmid are both cut with the same restriction enzyme.
Explanation:
To insert a piece of DNA in a bacterial plasmid, we need to cut both plasmid and DNA insert from same regions. This is typically done by restriction enzymes or restriction endonuclease. This cutting will open the plasmid (which is circular initially) and produce <u>sticky ends.</u> Here, DNA insert can attach because of similar sequence (see attached figure). In the final step, DNA ligase will glue it in the plasmid and it will become its part. This technique has been extensively used as a DNA recombinant technology. A better representation can be seen in the attached figure where both DNA sequence of interest and plasmid are cut with the same restriction enzyme (shown as scissors) and then ligated with DNA ligase.
