Answer:

This whole statement is false.

Explanation:

This given statement is false because,

Osmosis is the movement of particles from higher concentration to lower concentration through semipermeable membrane, that's why it is a slow process. It requires any medium to move particles.

On the other hand, Diffusion is the movement of particles from higher concentration to lower concentration without membrane, that's why it is a fast process. It requires only liquid medium to move particles.

Gas makes things buoyant, why ? And what are ways that this could be useful?
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Gas makes things buoyant by making the volume of an object lighter than the surrounding fluid it is trying to displace.

Gas Buoyancy is useful in the following ways;

• Airships

• Steel ships and

• All floating and flying vessels

Explanation:

Buoyancy is the tendency of an object to float in a fluid such as air or water. It is a phenomenon that was theorized by the mathematician, Archimedes known as the Archimedes Principle.

It states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces.

The principle explains the reason why objects float and fly.

So, when an object is immersed in a fluid, it can float due to the upward force exerted by the fluid on the object. But for this to happen, the object has to weigh less than the fluid it is displacing.

This is where the use of a gas comes into play.

Because the object may be heavier than the surrounding fluid it is trying to displace, it is filled with a large amount of gas (usually hydrogen and/or helium) which is lighter. This makes the volume of the gas and the object put together lighter than that of the surrounding air.

This is what causes objects to float or fly

During meiosis, a defect occurs in a cell that results in the failure of microtubules, spindle fibers, to bind at the kinetochor
mario62 [17]

Answer:

The resulting cells will not receive the correct number of chromosomes in the gametes, a condition known as aneuploidy.

Explanation:

Formation of functional microtubule spindle fibers and their attachment to kinetochores of chromosomes is required to ensure their alignment st the cell's equator during metaphase. During anaphase, shortening of these microtubules pulls the chromosomes to the opposite poles. These events ensure the distribution of the correct number of chromosomes among the daughter cells. The presence of defective microtubules would not allow proper distribution of chromosomes to the daughter cells and would result in the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes (aneuploidy).
