Answer:

D. a solution containing a high concentration of solute

Explanation:

Water alongside solutes tends to naturally move in the environment i.e. to and fro a cell. This movement is achieved when an osmotic gradient is formed during OSMOSIS. Osmosis is the movement of water from a region of low concentration of solute (high concentration of water) to a region of high concentration of solute (low concentration of water) through a semi-permeable membrane (usually the plasma membrane).

The difference in solution concentration between a cell and its external environment creates the OSMOTIC gradient. Water moves until an equilibrium is achieved in both the cell and environment.

Only one species of moth, Xanthopan morgani, is known to have a tongue long enough to reach the nectar in the Madagascar orchid
Delvig [45]

Answer: e.All of the above are plausible. It is impossible to predict.

Explanation:

The long tongue of moth Xanthopan morgani is able to derive the nectar from the orchid. If through many generations the nectaries become shorter the moth may not be able to derive the nectar this may facilitate the other insect species to derive the nectar and pollination.

If more insect species will able to use the orchid for nectar then obviously the orchid is more likely to reproduce due to pollination. The nectaries may get even shorter that the nectar will readily available to the other species of insects. This may also interrupt the pollination of other species of orchids as Madagascar orchid is a source of nectar which will attract many pollinators also those were specific to the other orchid species.

All conditions are plausible. But several generations of evolution of the Madagascar orchid is required to be observed to predict the association of insects with the orchid.

After telophase I of meiosis, the chromosomal makeup of each daughter cell is a. tetraploid, and the chromosomes are each compos
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division which proceeds in two stages: meiosis I and meiosis II and result in the formation of four daughter cells.

The meiosis I is known as the reductional division as two daughter cells are formed with reduced ploidy level that is haploid cells from diploid cells.  The cells formed contains chromosomes with two chromatids as the DNA amount gets doubled after the DNA synthesis.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

Explain how the generation of electricity by hydroelectric, tidal
sveta [45]

Hydroelectric, tidal and wind sources are similar in the sense that are all renewable sources of electricity generation.

<h3>Generation of electricity</h3>

Electricity is generated in many ways. Some of the ways are renewable while some of the ways are non renewable. The renewable means of generation can be reused while the non renewable can not be reused.

Now,  hydroelectric, tidal and wind sources are similar in the sense that are all renewable sources of electricity generation.

How does interphase prepare cells for mitosis
Luden [163]

Answer: During interphase, the cell copies its DNA in preparation for mitosis. Interphase is the 'daily living' or metabolic phase of the cell, in which the cell obtains nutrients and metabolizes them, grows, reads its DNA, and conducts other "normal" cell functions. This phase was formerly called the resting phase.
