Answer and Explanation:
12. The water has a lower osmotic pressure than the cell sap of the root hairs. Due to the osmotic difference water is drawn by osmosis across the cell wall and cell membrane into root hairs. Water moves by osmosis into adjacent cortex cells and their osmotic pressure is lowered drawing water by osmosis. Water passes to the successive cortex cells and through the endodermis to the xylem vessels. At the leaves, the xylem passes into the petiole and then into the veins of the leaf. Water leaves the veins and enters the cells of the spongy and palisade layers.
13. Food and other manufactured material are translocated by the phloem. They enter the sieve elements through plasmodesmata connecting them to adjacent companion cells which are sites of high metabolic activity. The manufactured food are translocated through sieve tube along the cytoplasmic strands.
Statistical power is the likelihood that a test (statistical test) will detect an effect when there is an effect there to be detected. Statistical power<span> is inversely related to </span><span>the probability of making a </span>Type II error (Type II errors<span>, or </span>false negatives, occur when you don’t see things that are there) = beta<span>.
statistical power = 1 – </span>β. The critical value<span> is the </span>value corresponding to a given significance level. The statistical power<span> is </span>influenced by the choice of significance level for the test (by the critical value). Larger critical value means increased power of the test: <span> the chance of obtaining a statistically significant result is increased (reduces the risk of a </span>Type II error<span> (false negative regarding whether an effect exists) is reduced) . </span>
Answer:
Option 3, 20 or 22
Explanation:
A newly discovered species of dung beetle has 2n = 16 chromosomes. It mates with a closely related beetle species that has 2n = 12 chromosomes. How many chromosomes would there be in an allotriploid beetle produced from this cross?
- 40 or 44
- 20 or 22
- 20 or 22
- 36 or 48
- 40 or 44
Solution
An allotriploid is a species which contains three sets of chromosomes of different species .Crossing can result in triploid offspring with diploid gamete of one species and regular haploid gamete of other offspring
Case I - Resulting offspring (3n) = Gamete I (2n) + Gamete II (n)
OR
Case II - Resulting offspring (3n) = Gamete II (2n) + Gamete I (n)
Case I
Case II
Hence, option 3 is correct
Answer:
When Earth passes directly between the sun and the moon, a lunar eclipse takes place. During a solar eclipse, the moon casts two shadows. One is called the umbra; the other is called the penumbra. An eclipse takes place when Earth or the moon passes through a shadow.
