Its bases can be joined together in any order like the letters of the alphabet can be strung to form different words.
Sperm cell (gamete) in humans = 23
Zygote in monkeys = 48
Zygote in humans = 46
Egg cell (gamete) in monkeys = 24
Answer:
Egg is HYPERTONIC
Water in the bowl is HYPOTONIC
The egg will become filled with water over time
Explanation:
Tonicity refers to the ability of an extracellular solution to direct the flow of a solvent (water) in and out a cell. There are three types of tonicity; hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic. A solution is said to be HYPERTONIC when the concentration of solute in it is higher than its external solution. This is the case of the egg cell that contains 7% salt (solute).
A HYPOTONIC solution is that which contains a lower solute concentration than it's external solution. This is the case of the water in the bowl that contains 3% salt concentration.
Tonicity determines which direction osmosis occurs. Osmosis is the movement of solvent/water from a region of high solvent concentration/low solute to a region of low solvent concentration/high solute concentration via a semi-permeable membrane. In this case, water (solvent) will move through the egg cell membrane (semi-permeable membrane) from the bowl with a low solute concentration into the egg with a high solute concentration. Hence, over time, the egg cell will be filled with water.
The correct answer is (a.) synovial joints. The synovial joint has the least range of motion. Its function is to join or combines bones in the synovial cavity. The synovial is mostly composed of synovial fluid (which can be found in knees.)
