You conclude that the sucrose solution is hypotonic to the potato cells.

Explanation:

A solution is said to be hypotonic with respect to other solution if its concentration is less than the other solution to which it is compared.

A  concentration of solvent molecule in a hypotonic solution is higher than hypertonic solution so solvent moves from hypotonic to hypertonic solution due to osmosis.

The increase in weight of potato shows that it has gained water i.e. the water has entered from the sucrose solution to cells. So, the sucrose solution is hypotonic to the cell sap.

Feather color in Christmas Parrots is codominant. You have 2 Christmas Parrots each red and green. What are the percentages for
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: The percentage of each phenotype to be expressed is *50%* each

Explanation: In codominance, two alleles for a particular trait are equally expressed in an individual carrying it, neither an allele is dominant or recessive over the other. In this case the individual shows the two traits of the allels.

Furthermore, when 2 Christmas parrot are crossed with red and green color in an homozygous codominant trait the heterozygous F1 generation will either be red with traces of green or green showing traces of red.

If parrot 1 (Red) is represented as PR PR and parrot 2 (Green) is PG PG the cross between them will give PR PG therefore, the individual shows both traits.

The house fly, Musca domestica, has a haploid chromosome number of 6. How many chromatids should be present in a diploid, somati
Vlad [161]

Answer:

12

12

24

Explanation:

<em><u>Musca</u></em> <u><em>domestica</em></u> is the scientific name of an animal popularly known as Housefly.  From the question, it is  known that this organism has a haploid chromosome number of 6.

In a diploid chromosomes, the number of chromatids that will be present will be twice of that in haploid.

Since haploid (n) = 6, diploid (2n) will be; 2 × 6 = 12

Somatic cells on the other hand also exhibit diploid number of chromosomes, again it means we will have (2n) = 2 × 6 = 12

In metaphase cell, cells do make sure they complete the S'phase of the cell cycle before cellular division.Therefore, the DNA present in the chromatids in the S'phase actively engage in chromatids doubling, as a result, 24 chromatids (i.e 12 × 2= 24) exists in the metaphase cell.
