Gain water due to osmosis moving water inside of the cell

Alisiya [41]3 years ago

6 0

An animal cell that is placed in a hypotonic solution will rapidly gain water, because osmosis would cause the water to move to an area with more solutes. In this case, that is the inside of the cell. A cell in a hypotonic solution may gain enough water to lyse, or rupture, the cell membrane, which destroys the cell.

Which statement most likely describes the daughter cells produced in the diagram

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

The daughter cells will each produce offspring that will have the same genetic information as the original cell.

Explanation:

The diagram you were given is shown in the image attached below. The options you were given are the following:

The daughter cells will pass on only half of the genetic information they received from the original cell.
The daughter cells will each produce offspring that will have the same genetic information as the original cell.
The daughter cells will each undergo the same mutations as the original cell after reproduction has occurred.
The daughter cells will not pass on any of the genes that they received from the original cell.

The diagram shows what cell division looks like. Cell division is the process in which we get two daughter cells from one parent cell. When a cell divides, everything in it divides as well. This is how daughter cells end up with the same structure (e.g. same organelles) as their parent cell.

The daughter cells have the same genetic information as their parent cell. This means that the cells produced by these daughter cells will have the same genetic information as the original parent cell.

Why do real examples not always follow the punnrt square

m_a_m_a [10]

Because they have more underlying factors such as (straight) brown hair or (curly) blonde hair from different parents. A punnet square would be too big and confusing if we considered all the factors that came from the parents.

Q6.7. During many epidemics, health-care professionals emphasize the importance of

Serga [27]

During many epidemics, healthcare professionals emphasize the importance of community mitigation strategies, such as wearing masks, frequent hand-washing, and social distancing because these strategies help reduce transmission even when drug-based treatments and vaccines are unavailable.

It is of vital importance in cases of epidemics to implement strategies such as:

Hand-washing
Wearing masks
Social distancing

in order to better protect our communities and ourselves.

Frequent hand-washing serves to eliminate the presence of a pathogen from the surface of your hands, reducing the risks that it will find entry into your organism or land on a surface with which others will come into contact. Should you or someone else contract the pathogen anyways, wearing a mask can help to reduce or deny the possibility of transmitting the disease.

Finally, should both previous measures fail, meaning that the virus or pathogen has infected an individual and penetrated the masks, social distancing can act as a final barrier that the pathogen will rarely be able to surpass, given that most pathogens cannot remain airborne over large distances.

For these reasons, healthcare professionals emphasize the importance of these strategies because they help reduce transmission until vaccines or drug-based treatments become available and herd immunity can be reached.

Based on the model of cellular transport, the hydrolysis of ATP and ADP provide a mechanism for

Ronch [10]

Answer:

Cellular transport is the movement of ions or molecules across the membrane of the cell through either active or passive process.

Explanation:

During active transport, ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is used. In passive transport, ATP is not used. In active cellular transport, the ions move across the membrane against the concentration gradient.

For ATP to be used, it has to get hydrolyzed thereby forming ADP and inorganic phosphate. On the other hand, ADP captures the energy through the oxidation process taking place in the cell.
