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.

Antibiotic resistance happens naturally due to genetic mutation through random selection, however, genetic drift occurs on purpose and tests which genes are stronger and should continue to be passed on to future generations. In most cases, genetic drift is needed and antibiotic resistance isn’t.

A long tree has several branches the tissue that helps in the sideways conduction of water in the.
Andru [333]

The tissue that helps in the sideways conduction of water in the tree is the xylem parenchyma.

In plants, there are two systems; the xylem and phloem, that help in the transportation of water and other substances from roots to the other parts of the plant.

Xylem is living plant cells and is found in the center of the vascular sheaths. These are also known as photosynthetic cells.

It is also an essential component of the plant as it stores and transports water.

Moreover, these cells serve as fragments of the intracellular storage system.

What are the differences between white blood cells and normal eukaryotic cells?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

White blood cells (WBCs) are specialized to respond to antigen and produce antibodies as well as undergo phagocytosis in response to toxic stimuli.

WBCs are part of immune system and there are five different kinds with specialized features.

In order to make a cell model, it is best to use a muscle cell and a nerve cell or neuron: there are pronounced structural differences and those are present throughout animal kingdom.

Lower animals ( such as insects, worms etc. ) have different immune system, however, they do have typical neuron and a muscle cell/skin cell (fibroblast). Such cell models are likely to be easy, distinct and bring you good grades without going through much complication and confusions of various organ systems and animal mod

I need help with the image (phenotypes and genotypes).
Flauer [41]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

1. <u>Only one phenotype</u> is present in the F1 generation offspring. Since tallness was dominant over shortness, all the offspring in the F1 generation appeared tall.

2. <u>Two phenotypes </u>are present in the F2 generation - 9 tall and 3 short. The short trait reappeared at the F2 generation.

3. The genotype of the F1 offspring would be heterozygous. Assuming the purebred tall is AA and the purebred short is aa:

     AA   x   aa

  Aa   Aa   Aa   Aa

All the F1 offspring will appear tall and their genotypes would be heterozygous.

4. Assuming that the allele for height is denoted with A (a), <u>the genotype of the purebred tall plant would be AA. </u>

5. In a similia vein, <u>the genotype of the purebred short plant would be aa. </u>
