Answer: The correct answer is: C The are the same except osmosis specifically and only involves water.

Explanation:

Osmosis is the process in which a solvent moves across a semipermeable membrane in order to dilute a concentrated solution and it ends up equalizing the concentration of the solution at both sides of the cell membrane.

On the other hand, diffusion occurs when particles move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration and it ends up equalizing the concentration.

So the main difference is the presence/ Lack of water in the processes.

In conclusion the correct answer is : C.

What functions do plants,animals,and cells have in common
ivann1987 [24]

They are more similar then different. Animal and plant cells have some of the same cell components in common including a nucleus, Golgi complex, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, mitochondria, peroxisomes, cytoskeleton, and cell (plasma) membrane. The main difference is that plant cells have a cell wall while animal cells only have a cell membrane. In addition, plant cells preform photosynthesis, while animal cells preform cellular respiration.

Hope this helps!

In a hypothetical population of plants, flower color is determined by a single gene with two alleles. In a population of 500 pla
blondinia [14]

Answer:

In the F1 generation

RR = 0%

Rr = 50% (or 0.5)

rr = 50% (or 0.5)

Explanation:

A pink flowering plant has the genotype Rr. It is heterozygous for the allele. The alleles for this gene appears to show incomplete dominance, as the heterozygous phenotype is a blend of the two homozygous genotypes.

A white flowering plant has the genotype rr. It is homozyogous for the white allele

A punnet square of the cross is shown.

The resulting punnet square shows that only Rr and rr genotypes are possible, at a ratio of 50:50 (or 1:1). Therefore, the genotype frequency of Rr is 50%, and rr is 50% in the F1 generation. This can also be written as 0.5. It is not possible to get a red plant, as the genotype RR can not come from this cross
