C) NaCl will passively diffuse into the red blood cells. D) Water will leave the cells, causing them to shrivel and collapse.

Answer:

D) Water will leave the cells, causing them to shrivel and collapse.

Explanation:

In the situation described in the question above, if the red blood cells were transferred to seawater, the water would come out of the cells by osmosis, causing those cells to shrivel and collapse. This would occur because the concentration of NaCl in seawater is greater than the concentration of NaCl within the cell, so in an attempt to balance the cell would spill the water from within it to balance NaCl concentrations. As a result, the cell would wither and collapse.

When the football is snapped, which player will have the smallest change in kinetic energy?
DanielleElmas [232]
When you are finding the kinetic energy, it is best to keep this formula in mind.

Ek = 1/2mv²

Where m is mass and v is velocity. Basically sub the numbers in to find the kinetic energy for each. In this case, subbing all the numbers, the smallest change in kinetic energy is the Lineman with a kinetic energy of just 540N.

In a population of heffalumps, there is a single gene that controls the presence of hair. The H allele, which is a complete domi
maksim [4K]
<h2>Frequency of allele </h2>

Explanation:

Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium is used to calculate the allelic as well as genotypic frequency

Allelic frequency of dominant and recessive allele is represented by p and q respectively whereas genotypic frequency of dominant genotype is represented by p2 and q2 respectively

Given:

H allele (p) = hairy heffalump (dominant)

h allele (q) = hairless heffalump (recessive)

36% of heffalump population is hairless represents the % of recessive genotype, hh (q2) =36%

Calculation of frequency of the h allele (q) :

Frequency of genotype hh (q2) will be: 36/100=0.36 or 0.6*0.6

Frequency of h allele (q) will be 0.6

DNA _____.
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Answer:

The correct answer would be "contains coded information for the creation of proteins".

DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is a polymer of nucleotides.

It is the genetic material in most of the living cells present on earth. That is, it controls all the characters and traits of the living organisms.

In prokaryotes, it keeps floating in the cytoplasm whereas it is confined in the well-defined nucleus in eukaryotic cells.

The nucleotide sequence of the DNA is used as the code for the synthesis of the proteins.

It is first transcribed into the nucleotide sequence of mRNA which is further decoded into the amino acid sequence of the proteins.

Geography the process in which nutrients are dissolved in water and percolate downward below the root zone of crops is called:
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
Nutrient Leaching

Leaching is the process where dissolved nutrients in the soil profile moves downward with percolating water. It is the loss of water-soluble plant nutrients from the soil. The nutrients that seep through the rooting zone may be recycled if roots grow deeper.
