An animal cell will shrink if it is placed in a saline/ salty solution (hypertonic solution). The salt will absorb the water from the cell through osmosis.

Answer:

Hypertonic solution

Explanation:

A solution with higher solute concentration is called as hypertonic solution while the one with less solute concentration is termed as hypotonic solution. Osmotic movement of water occurs from hypotonic to hypertonic solution to balance the concentration of solution. When an animal cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, it loses water through osmosis and shrinks.

What needs to happen for recessive traits to be observed in an organism?
ANEK [815]

Answer:

For recessive traits to be observed, dominant genes must be absent.

Explanation:

There are 3 possibilities for the genes: AA, Aa, aa.

in both AA and Aa, there is a dominant gene present. If a dominant gene is present, it will always show the dominant trait.

In aa, there is no dominant gene present, and there are only recessive genes. Because of this, the recessive trait is observed!

Which of the following would not be a potential side effect of standard antimicrobial drugs?
Minchanka [31]

<u>Answer</u>:

Inhibition of host protein synthesis would not be a potential side effect of standard antimicrobial drugs.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Antimicrobial drugs that are specific to inhibit the protein synthesis only target the units of 70S ribosomes. Hence, the ribosomes of eukaryotes remain unaffected. The microbiota present in digestive system is prokaryotic and gets affected by the antibiotics.

Antibiotics can damage the renal tubular cell of the kidney on long term use. As the excretion of toxic drug bi-products and other metabolites takes place from the kidney hence it is highly exposed to these end products.

For example, aminoglycosides have been shown to be nephrotoxic (damaging to kidney), Allergy reactions such as hypersensitivity reactions and anaphylactic reactions such as asthma, coughing, hives are the other side effects of antimicrobial drugs because the cells of immune system recognize these drugs as foreign molecules and attacks them which causes the allergy reactions.

How many genes found on the y chromosome trigger the testes to produce testosterone?
ahrayia [7]

The Y chromosome likely contains 70 to 200 genes that provide instructions for making proteins. Because only males have the Y chromosome, the genes on this chromosome tend to be involved in male sex determination and development.

<h3>What is a chromosome?</h3>

A chromosome is a lengthy DNA molecule that contains all or a portion of an organism's genetic code. Histones, which serve as packing proteins for the majority of eukaryotic chromosomes, work with chaperone proteins to attach to and condense the DNA molecule in order to preserve the integrity of the molecule. These chromosomes exhibit a complicated three-dimensional structure that is crucial for controlling transcription.

Under a light microscope, chromosomes are typically only discernible during the metaphase of cell division (where all chromosomes are aligned in the center of the cell in their condensed form).

Prior to this, each chromosome undergoes a process known as chromosome duplication (S phase), during which a centromere connects both copies, forming either the X-shaped structure  (if the centromere is situated equatorially) or a two-arm structure (if it is situated distally) depending on where it is situated.
