Which type of solution will cause cells to swell, or even to burst?

Biology

Inga [223]3 years ago

Answer:

(b) Hypotonic solution

Explanation:

  • Any solution having lower osmotic pressure as compared to another solution is called as a hypotonic solution and the reason that a solution is hypotonic is that it has more water and lesser dissolved solute in it.
  • If a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, the amount of water content in the cell would be lesser as compared to that of the solution and hence, the water will enter the cell due to which the cell will swell and may even burst.
  • The water molecules can enter the cell through the semipermeable membrane and in case of plant cells, the presence of cell wall may prevent it bursting, however, the animal cells lack the cell wall and hence if kept in hypotonic solution for long these cells may burst.

The allele for brown fur in mice (B) is dominant over the allele for white fur (b).
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Genotype: Bb (heterozygous)

Phenotype: brown fur

Explanation:

Since allele B is dominant to allele b, as long as genotype has allele B in it, its effect of phenotype will be expressed instead, regardless of whether allele b is present.

As mouse genotype is stated as Bb, on the chromosome from its parents, allele B comes from one parent while allele b is inherited from the other parent.

Phenotype is the expressed trait. In this case, as genotype has allele B, the phenotype will be brown fur as its effect is expressed.

The revolution of earth around the sun and the tilt of earth’s  axis cause the changing of seasons. TRUE

<u>Explanation:</u>

Earth is slightly tilted at its axis. This causes a change in the amount of sunlight reaching each hemisphere. Due to the tilt one hemisphere will be closer to the sun while the other will be at a greater distance.  When the earth revolves around the sun , the hemisphere that is closer to the sun changes.

The hemisphere closer to the sun will experience summer and the hemisphere away from the sun will experience winter.
