Answer:

\frac{C^{3}_1* C^{47}_4}{C^{40}_5}

Explanation:

It is given that out of 40, total 5 specimen are selected.

Thus, the number of ways in which 5 specimens are selected from a given sample of 40 is given by

C^{40}_{5}\\

Number of specimen with certain trait is equal to 3.

Now, total 5 specimen are selected out of which one specimen is selected from the set of specimen that has certain trait (i.e out of 3) while the remaining four specimen will be selected from the rest 40-3=37 specimen.

Thus, the probability of choosing only 1 of the 5 specimens with the trait is equal to

\frac{C^{3}_1* C^{37}_4}{C^{40}_5}

Single-celled Paramecium live in pond water (a hypotonic environment relative to the cytosol). They have a structural feature, a
mylen [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A) "0.0 mM sucrose".

Explanation:

Since single-celled Paramecium use their contractile vacuole to osmoregulate upon hypotonic environments, it is expected that a condition where no sucrose or salt is added is the condition where the contractile vacuole would be most active. In this extremely hypotonic condition cells tend to absorb high quantities of water, the contractile vacuole pumps water out of the cell to regulate its osmotic pressure.
