Drinking too much water during exercise can cause a condition in which the concentration of sodium in the blood is lower than no
OlgaM077 [116]

The right answer is Cells shrivel as water moves out of them.

Water intoxication (hyperhydration) occurs when too much water consumption causes a decrease in the concentration of electrolytes in the blood, partly because the electrolytes are eliminated in excessive amounts, on the other hand by increasing blood volume without sufficient electrolytes. When the intercellular (extracellular) medium is too diluted relative to the intracellular medium, the osmotic pressure induced by this difference can cause the cells concerned to explode (the cell wall ruptures under pressure), in the first place the nerve cells, which causes disorders brain that can be severe or even fatal.

Assume that cells that are about to undergo meiosis are treated with a chemical that blocks crossing over but does not affect th
kupik [55]

Answer:

Crossing over is the phenomenon by which homologous chromosomes exchange DNA segments between them during the process of meiosis.

If crossing over did not occur, there will be no genetic variation among parents and offsprings.

If the process of meiosis did not occur, there will be lesser chances of genetic variations to occur. Each chromosome will be either from the father or the mother with no genetic diversity present in it. As a result,  genetic diversity will reduce.

Greeley [361]

Answer:

8

Explanation:

The fly has only 3 pairs of somatic chromosomes, that means that only can combine 3 chromosomes. To calculate the combinations the exponential 2n it is used. In this case is 2 to the third power that is equal = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8

This fly also has a fourth pair, but this one is the sexual one, so the main function of this gene is to give the sex to the offspring.
