The major function of the contractile vacuole of amoeba is osmoregulation. The solute concentration found in the cell of amoeba's cytoplasm is more than the solute concentration in the freshwater that surround the external part of the organism, thus, water enter the cell through osmosis. The contractile vacuole collect the excess water and expel it through an opening in the cell membrane. By doing this, the contractile vacuole maintains the water balance in amoeba. This how the contractile vacuole normally operate.
In a situation where amoeba is placed in seawater, then water from the cell cytoplasm will rush out of amoeba cell, because of the higher salt content of the surrounding medium. The contractile vacuole will respond to the situation by increasing its contraction and pumping water out the cell in an accelerated manner, this will lead to the shrinking of the cell.
Answer: the answer is C
Explanation:
Pancreatic proteases (such as trypsin and chymotrypsin) - which help to digest proteins.
Gene mutations can be passed on to future generations and drive natural selection. ... Gene mutations can be helpful, harmful, or neutral for an organism's survival. Only mutations that are helpful in the organism's environment would influence its survival and reproduction
Sulfur dioxide (also sulphur dioxide) is the chemical compound with the formula SO
2. At standard atmosphere, it is a toxic gas with a pungent, irritating smell. The triple point is 197.69 K and 1.67 kPa. It is released naturally by volcanic activity.
Has an irritating Odor and is colorless
We know that frequency of recombination is proportional with the distance between the genes on the chromosome. Therefore when the recombination rate is higher that means the distance between the genes on the chromosome is bigger. If the recombination rate is lower that means the genes are closer to each other on the chromosome. In this case the cross over rate is half the normal rate in the wild-type. That means that on the genetic map the distance between the two genes on the wild type will be twice bigger than the genes of the mutated Drosophila.
