How do cells maintain water balance through osmosis?

Biology
1 answer:
qaws [65]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The egg swelled in distilled water because it is hypotonic to the egg's interior.

Explanation:

Osmosis is representing a movement between hypotonic solvent and semipermeable membrane.

Hypotonic solvent is moving into the higher concentration and that concentration is concentrating the both sides of a membrane. In this case, solvent is the water.

Because of the passive transport, osmosis doesn't need energy.

Is selection more effective against recessive alleles in haploid or diploid organisms?
svet-max [94.6K]
The selection of more effective which is against recessive alleles in haploid organisms than diploid organisms. This is because haploid organisms contain a single set of alleles if a deleterious allele is present in haploid organisms which will produce its effect immediately as there will be no dominant allele which can prevent the expression of the recessive allele as it happens in diploids. Recessive allele will not produce its effect in presence of the dominant allele in the case of heterozygote which is Aa.
Where there is haploid the selection will be more effective when removing recessive alleles in the population. It is the homozygous recessive condition which as aa then the selection will act against recessive alleles.

WHY IS A FOSSIL FOUND IN MULTIPLE LAYERS OF ROCK (TIME PERIODS) NOT CONSIDERED A RELIABLE INDEX FOSSIL?
Sati [7]

Certain fossils, called index fossils, help geologists match rock layers. To be useful as an index fossil, a fossil must be widely distributed and represent a type of organism that existed for a brief time period. Index fossils are useful because they tell the relative ages of the rock layers in which they occur.
