The number is x  = \frac{16}{3}.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have , Four times the sum of a number and -3 is 4 more than times the number.Let's consider step by step as :

Let the number be x , Four times sum of a number & -3 is 4 ( x - 3 ). Now, this is 4 more than times the number i.e x + 4. According to question these both statements are equivalent as :

⇒4(x - 3 ) = x + 4

⇒ 4x - 12 = x + 4

⇒ 3x = 16

⇒x  = \frac{16}{3}

Answer:

The number is \frac{16}{3} .

Explanation:

Let the number be denoted by x.

Now the sum of number and -3 is : (x-3)

Four times this sum is : 4(x-3)

The number that is 4 more than x is : 4+x

Represent these data in equation we get;

                                     4(x-3)= 4+x

                                or, 4x - 12 = 4 + x

                                or, 4x-x= 12 +4

                                or, 3x = 16

                                or, x= \frac{16}{3}

Hence the required number is  \frac{16}{3} .

The term applied when water passes through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high to low concentration is:
weqwewe [10]
The term applied when water passes through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high to low concentration is called osmosis. Osmotic pressure is defined as the amount of external pressure that is required to stop the net movement of the solution across the semi permeable membrane. In terms of biology, osmosis has great importance as most of the membranes in our body are semi permeable. Permeability depends on several factors such as charge, solubility, solute size and chemistry. Osmosis is the process that provides the primary means through which water travels in and out of the cells.

Explain incomplete dominance, using snapdragon<br> flowers as an example.
oee [108]

Answer:

Dominant allele does not completely conceal recessive allele.

Snapdragon with genotype Rr (R being red and r being white), would have a phenotype of pink flowers.

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is where a dominant allele is not able to completely conceal a recessive allele, usually leading to a phenotype which appears to be a combination of the two.

For example, in snapdragons:

The allele for red flowers (R) is dominant over the allele for white flowers (r). Let's say a snapdragon flower had the genotype Rr, one allele for red flowers and one for white. In the case of 'normal' dominance the dominant red flower allele (R) would mask the effects of the recessive white flower allele (r), resulting in the phenotype (outward observable characteristics) of having red flowers.

However here in the case of incomplete dominance, the dominant allele would not be able to fully cover up the effects of the white flower allele, meaning that both colors (red and white) are expressed in the phenotype, resulting in pink flowers.

Hope this helped!
