Correct answer: A) A small structure within the cell that serves specialized functions
Organelles are small,specialized structures found inside the cell which perform a specific task and help in the functioning of the cell.
Organelles are known to be found in all the eukaryotic cells. There they serve a essential and specialized functions such as making proteins, getting rid of waste, harvesting energy etc.
Example: Mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, nucleus etc.
Answer:
Let's recall Mendel's law of independent assortment that states, "During the formation of gametes, alleles of genes assort independently into each gamete"
How can the random distribution of alleles result in a predictable ratio?
For example, We have a trait for flower color either yellow or white, and the alleles for the flower color are Y and y. The yellow flower color is a dominant trait, and be expressed if plant has YY or Yy genotype. We cross a plant with genotype Yy with another plant Yy.
P1 Yy x Yy
F1 YY : Yy: Yy: yy
Phenotype Yellow: yellow: yellow: white
Genotypic ratio 1 : 2 : 1
Phenotypic ratio 3 : 1
So, we see that phenotypic ratio is different from genotypic ratio. Although the distribution of alleles is random but still there are only four possible outcomes for a trait. Hence, we can predict the phenotypic and genotypic ratio of offspring by drawing a punnet square or gamete formation.
Answer:
A = water is an excellent solvent.
Explanation:
What is solvent:
Solvent is the that part of solution which is present in large proportion and have ability to dissolve the solute.
Explanation:
In simplest form solvent is something in which other substance get dissolve. The most widely used solvent is water, other examples are toluene, acetone, ethanol, chloroform etc.
Water is called universal solvent because of high polarity all polar substance are dissolve in it. Hydrogen is less electronegative while oxygen is more electronegative and because of difference in electronegativity hydrogen carry the partial positive charge while oxygen carry partial negative charge.
Water create electrostatic interaction with other polar molecules. The negative end of water attract the positive end of polar molecules and positive end of water attract negative end of polar substance and in this way polar substance get dissolve in it.
Example:
The minerals and nutrients in our body dissolved in water and transported through out the body.
