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]3 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.

Human blood groups are governed by three alleles, IA, IB, and i. IA and IB are codominant and i is recessive to both. A man who
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

They could have all four type phenotype that are A, B, AB, and O

Explanation:

If the man has A blood group and the woman has B blood group then the genotype of man can be IAIA or IAi and the genotype of woman can be IBIB or IBi.

               IA      i

       IB   IAIB   IBi

       i     IAi       ii

So if the genotype of the parents are IAi and IBi then out of four offspring one could have AB blood group, second could have B blood group, third could have A blood group and fourth could have O blood group as shown in the cross above.
