How do the cells in a fish react when it moves from salt-water to freshwater?

2 answers:

The cells will begin to swell due to the lower salt to water ratio. So, because there is a higher concentration of water externally, osmosis occurs, and water begins to push into the fish's cells.

When a fish is moved from salt water to fresh water, the cells of the fish will swell due to overhydration. Cells of fish are semi-permeable (allows only some molecules to pass through them). Large amounts of fresh water around the fish will move into the higher salt concentrations of the fish's bodily fluids through osmosis, and there will be over functioning of the fish’s kidney to retain excess water the fish does not need. Also, essential electrolytes within the fish are pushed outside, and this will result in the death of the fish.

g Assume that for a given gene a mutation creates an allele that functions as a dominant negative. The gene codes for a protein

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

At least 50% of the tetramers will be inactive for this individual

Explanation:

A protein resulting from a mutation that is dominant negative will have an detrimental impact on the wild-type protein as well. Especially if the mutated protein can interact with the same substances as the normal, wild-type protein.

For an individual who is heterozygous, there will be one wild-type copy and one mutant copy of the allele present. For each copy, a protein will be expressed and the tetramers from the mutant copy will be defective - so 50% of the protein tetramers will be inactive at least.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
