Arrector Pili Muscle - This is a tiny muscle that attaches to the base of a hair follicle at one end and to dermal tissue on the other end. In order to generate heat when the body is cold, the arrector pili muscles contract all at once, causing the hair to "stand up straight" on the skin.

What are the three types of osmosis? What happens during each phase?

Vanyuwa [196]

An isotonic solution is when the solute concentration is balanced with the concentration inside the cell , the water movement still moves between the solution, but the rates are the same in both directions, the water is balanced inside and outside the cell .

A hypotonic solution is when the solute concentration is lower than the concentration inside the cell. water moves into the cell and can cause the cell to swell; cells that don’t have a cell wall, such as animal cells, could explode in this type of solution.

A hypertonic solution is when the solute concentration is higher than the concentration inside the cell. In a hypertonic solution, the water moves out of the cell and causes the cell to shrivel.

A parent cell gives rise to daughter cells with identical genetic information. Which of the following data supports the idea tha

Yuri [45]

Answer:

A feline skeletal muscle cell undergoes cell division, resulting in two feline skeletal muscle cells.

Explanation:

We are looking for a parent cell that gives rise to daughter cells with identical genetic information.

In simpler words, we are looking for something that makes 'clones' of itself.

In this statement (second option), the parent and daughters are all feline skeletal muscle cells.

A feline skeletal muscle cell undergoes cell division, resulting in two feline skeletal muscle cells.

Other incorrect choices: (All having to do with reproduction).

A child has brown eyes; one of its biological parents has green eyes, and the other has brown eyes.

This situation has two parents, each with a different trait. The child takes one of the parent's trait. The parents did not make a 'clone' of themselves.

A human sperm fuses with a human egg cell, resulting in the development of a new human.

The parents don't make 'clones' of themselves. The sperm did not make more sperm. The egg did not make more egg cells.

A long-stemmed plant reproduces with a short-stemmed plant, and the offspring are all long-stemmed.

The offspring plant only took the trait from one of it's parents. Also, whole plants are not individual cells.
