Suppose a human blood cell containing a 0.9 percent solute concentration were put into a container of 0 percent solute solution

(i.e., distilled water). Would the blood cell get bigger or smaller? Why? In your explanation, you must tell me which area has the hypotonic solution (inside the blood cell or outside the blood cell), which area has the hypertonic solution (inside the blood cell or outside the blood cell), and which direction the water would be moving (into the cell or out of the cell)

Explanation:

The solution is hypotonic (lower concentration), and the inside of the cell is hypertonic (higher concentration). Water always moves in the direction of the higher concentration. Therefore, it would move inside the cell, and this will cause the cell to swell (get bigger), and eventually burst.

It is to be noted that the process by which water moves from a low concentrated solute to a high concentrated solute is called osmosis.

Each of two parents has the genotype blue/brown​, which consists of the pair of alleles that determine eye color​, and each pare
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

See the answer below.

Explanation:

<em>Let the allele for eye color be represented by A. Blue is dominant over brown eye color, hence, blue allele would be A while brown eye allele would be a.</em>

Two parents have the genotype blue/brown which is equivalent to Aa.

                   Aa    x    Aa

    AA               2Aa                aa

 blue eyes     blue eyes         brown eyes

a. Different possible outcomes: AA blue eyes, Aa blue eyes, and aa brown eyes.

b. Probability of a child from the cross having brown/brown (aa) genotype = 1/4 or 25%

c. Probability that the child would have blue eye color = 3/4 or 75%

If your lac operon looked like the image below, which of the following can you infer?
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

You have not consumed lactose from dairy recently

Explanation:

According to the diagram, there is a represssor element in the regulatory region of the operon. This repressor is blocking the RNA polymerase, that is bound to its promoter region upstream of the genes, from transcription. The repressor is mostly the lac repressor that switches of the operon in the absence of lactose.

In plant cell what does the vacuole do
photoshop1234 [79]
<span>I found this on a website..... Hope this helped :)

"In plant cells, the vacuoles are much larger than in animal cells. When a plant cell has stopped growing, there is usually one very large vacuole. Sometimes that vacuole can take up more than half of the cell's volume. The vacuole holds large amounts of water or food."</span>
