Each cell expresses, or turns on, only a fraction of its genes. The rest of the genes are repressed, or turned off.

The turned on genes are then first transcribed into messenger RNA by the process of Transcription.

Then the mRNA is Translated into protein by the process called Translation.

This is how the specific genes are expressed.

If a plant cell is placed in solution and the cell shrivels up what type of solution was it placed in

IgorLugansk [536]

The plant cell was placed in a hypertonic solution. Due to its higher concentration of solutes and a net movement of water outside a hypertonic solution causes the cell to shrink. In other words, when a plant cell is placed in hypertonic solution the water from the cell will be forced out of the cell in an attempt to balance itself. This is known as plasmolysis.

The correct answers to fill into the blank spaces are;

Wave is a periodic disturbance that moves away from a source which carries energy with it. Waves can be typified according to the direction of motion of the vibrating particles with respect to the direction in which the waves travel and according to medium .

Longitudinal waves vibrate perpendicularly to the direction in which the waves travel. This wave exhibits up and down motion. Longitudinal waves vibrate perpendicular or back and forth to the direction in which the waves travel.

Electromagnetic waves are combination of transverse and longitudinal waves. These move in a circular pattern as the waves pass by.

Mechanical waves need solid, liquid and gas medium to propagate or travel. Transverse, mechanical and surface waves are examples of mechanical waves.

Electromagnetic waves do not need medium to propagate. Radio waves, ultraviolet, infrared, and gamma rays are examples of electromagnetic waves. The nature of waves can be described through its terms, quantities and propagation.

The crust and trough refer to the highest point and lowest point of a wave pattern, respectively. The magnitude of a transverse wave is the maximum displacement of a particle of the medium on either side of its normal position when the wave passes. The frequency of periodic waves is the number of waves that pass a particular point for every one second while the Amplitude is the distance between adjacent crests or troughs.

The period is the time required for one complete wave to pass a particular point. The speed of the wave refers to the distance the wave travels per unit time. It is related to the frequency of the wave and wavelength through the following equation: wave speed= frequency x wavelength.
