Answer: No

Explanation:

No

This is because ocean water contain more salt and by drinking a water with too much salt in a desert you will get severely dehydrated.

Dehydration occurs because a salty water will be hypertonic to your body cells. Hypertonic solution contain more solute relative to that in the cell. When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution it will lose water to its environment by osmosis. This will cause the cells to shrink and may die of dehydration.

What effect would there be on the final daughter cell if the spindle fibers failed to pull a chromosome toward the pole, as in c
allochka39001 [22]

Aneuploidy can result in the final daughter cell if the spindle fibers fail to pull a chromosome toward the pole as in case of non-disjunction.  

Explanation:

Aneuploidy is a condition which arises when one or more chromosome is missing in the final daughter cells.

Non-disjunction refers to the failure of chromosomal or chromatid segregation or separation during cell division. This results in erroneous meiosis or mitosis leading to the formation of final daughter cells or gametes with an extra or missing chromosome. This condition is aneuploidy.  

Failure of separation or segregation of:

  • Homologous chromosomes occur in Anaphase I, affects four daughter cells.
  • Sister chromatids during Anaphase II, affects two daughter cells

This failure of separation leads to aneuploidy chromosomal abnormalities like monosomy, trisomy, etc which can cause diseases like Down’s syndrome, Turner’s syndrome etc.

Which of the following species is diamagnetic? View Available Hint(s) Hint 1. How to determine magnetism Which of the following
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Cl = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5

Al = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p1

Fe2+ = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d4

S2- = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

Diamagnetic materials are repelled by a magnetic field; an applied magnetic field creates an induced magnetic field in them in the opposite direction, causing a repulsive force. If all electrons in the particle are paired, then the substance made of this particle is diamagnetic.

S2- is diamagnetic because of its paired electrons in the outermost shell.
