If the concentration of salt in the fluid surrounding cells decreases and the concentration of other solutes remains constant?

Biology
1 answer:
svetoff [14.1K]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The cell will swell.

Explanation:

The cells react distinctly when placed in different solutions like hypertonic, isotonic and hypotonic solutions. In the mentioned question, that is, in the fluid surrounding the cells, the concentration of salt reduces, which makes the solution hypotonic. Hypotonic solution exhibit high water potential and low solute concentration.  

This makes the water move from the hypotonic solution to the inside of the cell as the osmotic movement occurs from high solvent concentration to low solvent concentration, thus, swelling of the cell takes place.

Albinism is inherited as autosomal recessive trait. The frequency of the disease in the population equals to 1:20 000. Calculate
prisoha [69]

Answer:

0.0139- frequency of heterozygotes in the population

Explanation:

Let q to the power of 2 represents the frequency of the homozygous recessive (aa) = 1/20000 = 0.00005

This, q = √q^2 = √0.00005 = 0.007

Since p + q = 1

p = 1 - 0.007 = 0.993

Using the formula: p^2 + 2pq + q^2

Where 2pq represents the frequency of the heterozygotes, thing we have

2 x 0.007 x 0.993

= 0.0139

How do the hypothesis of microspheres and the RNA World hypothesis build off of each other?
grin007 [14]

Explanation:

Microspheres were spherical bodies with metabolic abilities that could successfully sustain their existence. However they did not contain any genetic material. Which means that they could not replicate or pass off their parts to their successive generations.

But they had no way to evolve since they could not pass off any genetic material to their offspring's. This is why RNA came into existence. RNA enabled an Organism to store its genetic material into nucleic acids, that could be passed on to generations to come. This is also how they could evolve into more complex organisms.

How does the density of ice compare to that of liquid water and why is that property important to aquatic organisms
Amanda [17]

The density of ice is less than water - that's why it floats on water. I think this property is unique in liquids.

If ice was equal or heavier density than water then the oceans would be solid except for near the surface, which would be very bad for aquatic life!!
